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 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. If the
battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power o. Recharge your battery to
continue using your device.

Assembling

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.
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.
Plug one end (micro-USB) of the PC data cable into the

may take longer to fully charge the battery.

•
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.

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.
When you insert a memory card in your device,
•
the le directory of the memory card will appear
in the mnt/sdcard/external_sd folder.
Plug the other end of the PC data cable into a USB port
2
on a PC.
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
3
no 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 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and
