Unpack
Check your product box for the following items:
Mobile device
●
Quick start guide
●
Use only Samsung-approved software. Pirated or illegal
software may cause damage or malfunctions that are
not covered by your manufacturer's warranty.
The items supplied with your device and available
●
accessories may vary depending on your region or
service provider.
You can purchase additional accessories from your
●
local Samsung dealer.
The supplied accessories perform best for your device.
●
Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be
●
compatible with your device.

Assembling
12
Charge the battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for
the first time, you must charge the battery.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers. Unauthorised
●
chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage
your device.
The back cover of your device is made of metal. Use
●
only the ETA-P12X / ETA-P11JBE series charger with
your device to prevent electric shock.
Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot
●
charge the battery with the USB cable.
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
off. 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
13
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
1
multifunction jack.
The shape of the travel adapter may differ depending
on your region.
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by
misuse is not covered by the warranty.
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 affect your device’s lifespan or
performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
●
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

Assembling
14
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel
3
adapter from the device and then from the power outlet.
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
when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional files, 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.
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for
●
memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with
a different file structure, your device will ask you to
reformat the memory card.
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the
●
lifespan of memory cards.
When you insert a memory card in your device, the
●
file directory of the memory card will appear in the
extStorages folder under the internal memory.

Assembling

transferring or accessing information, as this could
result in loss of data or damage to the memory card or
device.
Format the memory card
›
Formatting your memory card on a PC may cause
incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory card
only on the device.
Open the application list and select Settings
→
Storage

Erase SD card
→
Format SD card
