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. Charge the battery only with a charger. You
cannot charge the battery with a USB cable.
You cannot replace the battery in the device. If you have
problems with the battery or need it replaced, take the device
to a Samsung Service Centre.
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 while it is charging. Allow a
depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before
you try to turn on the device.
The shape of the USB power adapter may differ
●
depending on your region.
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and
1
then plug the end of the USB cable into the multifunction
jack.
Assembling
16
Connecting the USB cable improperly may cause
serious damage to the device or USB power adapter.
Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the
warranty.
Plug the USB power adapter into an electrical socket.
2
If the device receives an unstable power supply while
●
charging, the touch screen may not function. If this
happens, unplug the USB cable from the device.
The device may heat up while charging. This is
●
normal and should not affect your device’s lifespan or
performance.
If your device is not charging properly, take your
●
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
cable from the device, and then unplug the USB power
adapter from the electrical socket.
To save energy, unplug the USB power adapter when
not in use. The USB power adapter does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the USB power
adapter from the electrical socket when not in use to
avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to
the electrical socket while charging.

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
●
