Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time or when the battery has been unused for an extended period, you must charge the battery. You can charge the battery with a travel adapter or by connecting the device to a computer with a USB cable. Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables may cause batteries to explode or damage your device.

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning tone and show a low battery message. Recharge your battery to continue using your device. If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot turn on the device, even with the travel adapter connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a while before you try to turn on the device. If you use multiple applications at once, network applications, or applications that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid disconnecting from the network or losing power during a data transfer, always use these applications after fully charging the battery.

 Charge with a travel adapter

1
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the multifunction jack.

Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Plug the large end of the travel adapter into an electrical socket. If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device. The device may heat up while charging. This is normal and should not affect your devices lifespan or performance. If your device is not charging properly, take your device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

Assembling

18

When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel adapter from the device, and then from the electrical socket. Do not remove the battery while the device is connected to the travel adapter. Doing so may damage the device. To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the travel adapter from the electrical socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to the electrical socket while charging.

Insert a memory card (optional)

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device. Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible with your device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage your device or the memory card. It may also corrupt data saved on the memory card.

Your device supports only the FAT file structure for memory cards. If you insert a memory card formatted with a different file structure, your device will ask you to reformat the memory card. Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the lifespan of your memory cards. When you insert a memory card into your device, the memory cards file directory will appear in the extSdCard folder.
