Error messages appear when launching the camera
Your Samsung device must have sufficient available memory and battery power to operate
the camera application. If you receive error messages when launching the camera, try the
following:
•
Charge the battery or replace it with a battery that is fully charged.
•
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.

Without a headset connected, the FM radio cannot receive radio stations. To use the FM radio,
first ensure that the headset is properly connected. Next, scan for and save the available radio
stations.
If you still cannot use the FM radio after performing these steps, try accessing your desired
station with another radio receiver. If you can hear the station with another receiver, your
device may require service. Contact a Samsung Service Centre.
Error messages appear when opening music files
