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.
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. Unauthorized
chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage your
device.

Assembling
11
●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 USB power adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a
few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
1
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and
then plug the end of the USB cable into the multifunction
jack.
The shape of the USB power adapter may differ
depending on your region.

Assembling
12
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.
2
Plug the USB power adapter into a power 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 USB power adapter from
the power outlet or unplug the USB cable 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.
3
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
power adapter and USB cable from the device and then
from the power outlet.
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 outlet when not in use to avoid
wasting power. The USB power adapter should remain
close to the socket when in use.

Assembling
13
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 capacity 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.
