Getting started

•

The items supplied with the device and any available accessories may vary

depending on the region or service provider.

•

The supplied items are designed only for this device and may not be compatible

with other devices.

•

Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

•

You can purchase additional accessories from your local Samsung retailer. Make

sure they are compatible with the device before purchase.

•

Other accessories may not be compatible with your device.

•

Use only Samsung-approved accessories. Malfunctions caused by using

unapproved accessories are not covered by the warranty service.

•

Availability of all accessories is subject to change depending entirely on

manufacturing companies. For more information about available accessories, refer

to the Samsung website.

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time. Use the charger to charge the battery.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or

cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

•

When the battery power is low, the device emits a warning tone and displays a low

battery power message.

•

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.

Getting started

Charging with the charger

Connect the power cable to the AC power adapter, and plug the end of the AC power adapter

into the DC jack. Then, plug the power cable into an electric socket.

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

damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

•

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 touch screen

may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•

While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the

device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger

may stop charging.

•

If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a

Samsung Service Centre.

Getting started

After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger from the

device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

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 device should remain close to the electric socket

while charging.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides options that help you save battery power. By customising these options

and deactivating features in the background, you can use the device longer between charges:

•

When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power button.

•

Close unnecessary applications with the task manager.

•

Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

•

Disconnect the Wi-Fi connection.

•

Deactivate auto-syncing of applications.

•

Decrease the backlight time.

•

Decrease the brightness of the display.

Inserting a memory card

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB. Depending on the

memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your

device.

•

Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the device. Using an

incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data

stored in it.

•

Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

•

The device supports the FAT, exFAT, NTFS file system for memory cards. When

inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device asks to reformat the

memory card.

•

Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.
