Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.
1
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB cable
into the multipurpose jack.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
2
Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
3
After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger
from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in

Fingerprint recognition
In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be
registered and stored in your device. After registering, you can set the device to use your
fingerprint for the features below:
•
Screen lock
•
Web sign-in
•
Verify Samsung account
•
This feature may not be available depending on the region or service provider.
•
Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical.
•
If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen after restarting the device. You must unlock the device
using a pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint.
•
If your fingerprint is not recognised, you must take the device to a Samsung
Service Centre to have it reset. Then, you must re-register your fingerprints.
For better fingerprint recognition
When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the features performance:
•
The Home key contains a fingerprint recognition sensor. Ensure that the Home key is not
scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces.
•
The screen protector supplied with the device may cause the fingerprint recognition
sensor to malfunction. Remove the screen protector to improve fingerprint sensitivity.
•
Ensure that the fingerprint recognition area and your fingers are clean and dry.
•
The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.
•
The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers.
Settings
111
•
If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints.
Make sure to cover the entire Home key with your finger.
•
To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to
perform tasks on the device.
•
In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the device. Avoid using this feature
in dry environments or before using the feature, discharge static electricity by touching a
metal object.
