Insert the SIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided
with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details,
such as your PIN, available optional services, and other
features.
With gold contacts facing down and the angled corner of the
SIM card facing into the slot, push the SIM card into the slot
until it locks into place.
The plug-in SIM card can be easily damaged by
scratching or bending, so be careful when handling,
inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out
of reach of small children.
If the card is not inserted correctly, the tablet does not
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot
if the SIM is not detected..

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.
●Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot
charge the battery with the PC data 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.
1
Connect the PC data cable to the USB power adapter
and then plug the end of the PC data cable into the
multifunction jack.
The shape of the USB power adapter may differ
depending on your region.
Connecting the travel adapter 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 PC data 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 (the battery icon is no
longer moving), unplug the USB power adapter and PC
data cable 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.
