available in your region or oered by your service
provider.
You can obtain additional accessories from your
•

Charge with a travel adapter
›
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
1
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.
Charge the battery
Before using the device for the rst time, you must charge
the battery.
You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by
connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries
to explode or damage your device.
When your battery is low, the device will emit a•
warning tone and display a low battery message.
The battery icon will also be empty. If the
battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power o. 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 few minutes before you try to turn on the device.

Assembling
14
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
3
no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the
device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the
travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to 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 outlet to interrupt the power supply. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when
in use.
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
2
outlet.
You can use the device while it is charging, but it•
may take longer to fully charge the battery.
While the device is charging, the touch screen may
•
not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the
device.
While charging, the device may heat up. This
•
is normal and should not aect your device’s
lifespan or performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
•
device and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.

Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional multimedia les, you must insert
a memory card. Your device accepts microSD™or
microSDHC™memory cards with maximum capacities
of 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and
type).
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 and can corrupt data stored on the
card.
Charge with a USB cable
›
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the USB cable into the
1
multifunction jack.
Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB port
2
on a PC.
Depending on the type of USB cable you are using,
it may take some time before charging begins.

3
no longer moving), unplug the USB cable from the
device and then from the PC.

•
the lifespan of memory cards.
