Assembling

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 and available accessories may vary depending on your region or service provider.

●

You can purchase 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.

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.

Assembling

●

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

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

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.

●

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

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 when not in use to avoid wasting power. The USB power adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.

Assembling

Insert a memory card (optional)

To store additional files, you must insert a memory card. Your device accepts microSD with maximum capacity of 32GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).

Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible with your device. Using an incompatible memory card may damage your device or the memory card and can corrupt data stored on the card.

●

Your device supports only the FAT file structure for memory cards. If you insert a card formatted with a different file structure, your device will ask you to reformat the memory card.

●

Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the lifespan of memory cards.

●

When you insert a memory card in your device, the file directory of the memory card will appear in the extStorages folder under the internal memory.
