Charge the battery
Before using the device for the rst time, you must charge the
battery.
You can charge the device with the provided travel adapter or
by connecting the device to a PC with a PC data 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 and blinking. If the battery
level becomes too low, the device will automatically
power o. Recharge your battery to continue using your
device.

Charge with the travel adapter
Open the cover of the multifunction jack.

Assembling
12
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
3
outlet.
You can use the phone 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.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no
4
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 so 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.
›
Charge with the PC data cable
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
Open the cover to the multifunction jack on the top of the

Depending on the type of PC data cable you are using,
it may take some time before charging begins.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is no
4
longer moving), unplug the PC data cable from the device
and then from the PC.
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 16
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.
Your device supports only the FAT le structure for
●
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a dierent le structure, your device will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the
●
lifespan of memory cards.
Open the cover to the memory card slot on the side of the
1
device.

Assembling

2
facing down.

device.
