Getting started

•

When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone,

do not place the device close to your ears.

•

Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct

sunlight. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight,

the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is irreparable

and will cause dots or spots in pictures.

•

If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of

injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.

•

If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, the device’s

sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove

the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be damaged and its

appearance may be affected.

•

Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

–

If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

–

If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

–

If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while

using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

•

Using a Samsung-approved screen protector is recommended. Unapproved screen

protectors may cause the sensors to malfunction.

•

Do not cover the light sensor area with screen accessories, such as a screen protector,

stickers, or a cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction. (Galaxy A32)

•

Do not allow water to contact the touchscreen. The touchscreen may malfunction in

Getting started

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended

periods.

Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your

device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to

your device.

•

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any

damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

•

Use only USB Type-C cable supplied with the device. The device may be damaged if

you use Micro USB cable.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a power

switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in use to

avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket and easily

accessible while charging.

Wired charging

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor and plug the cable into the device’s

multipurpose jack to charge the battery. After fully charging, disconnect the charger from the

device.

Getting started

Quick charging

Launch the

Settings

app, tap

and then activate the feature you want.

•

Fast charging

: To use the fast charging feature, use a battery charger that supports

Adaptive fast charging.

You can charge the battery more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.

•

Optimise the device using the device care feature.

•

When you are not using the device, turn off the screen by pressing the Side key.

•

Activate power saving mode.

•

Close unnecessary apps.

•

Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.

•

Deactivate auto-syncing of apps that need to be synced.

•

Decrease the backlight time.

•

Decrease the screen brightness.

Battery charging tips and precautions

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on immediately

when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes

before turning on the device.

•

If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to

another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data

transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

•

Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower

charging speed due to a lower electric current.

•

The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the

battery.

•

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not

function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
