Getting started

Charging the battery

Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also

used to charge the battery by connecting them via the USB cable.

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 battery icon appears empty.

•

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 disconnecting from the

network or losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully

charging the battery.

1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor and then plug the end of the USB cable

into the multipurpose jack.

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

damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Getting started

2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

•

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.

3 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 charger should remain close to the electric socket

and easily accessible while charging.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides options that help you save the 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 apps using the task manager.

•

Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

•

Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature.

•

Deactivate auto-syncing of apps.

•

Decrease the backlight time.

•

Decrease the screen brightness.
