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 may vary
●
depending on the software and accessories available
in your region or offered by your service provider.
You can obtain 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
10
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.
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.
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and
1
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
11
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.
Plug the USB power adapter into a power outlet.
2
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.
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB
3
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 to interrupt the power supply.
The USB power adapter should remain close to the
socket when in use.
