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

Battery charging tips and precautions
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.
•
If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be
damaged. Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.
9
Page 10
Getting started
•
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.
•
When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved wired or wireless
charger that guarantees the charging performance.
•
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.
•
While charging, the device and the charger 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.

SIM or USIM card (nano-SIM card)
Insert the SIM or USIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider.
You can insert two SIM or USIM cards so you can have two phone numbers or service
providers for a single device. In some areas, data transfer speeds may be slower if two SIM
cards are inserted in the device than when one SIM card is inserted.
Some services that require a network connection may not be available depending on
the service provider.
Installing the SIM or USIM card
1 Insert the ejection pin into the hole next to the tray to loosen the tray.
2 Pull out the tray gently from the tray slot.
3 Place the SIM or USIM card on the tray with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards
and gently press the SIM or USIM card into the tray to secure it.
4 Insert the tray back into the tray slot.
•
Use only a nano-SIM card.
•
Use caution not to lose or let others use the SIM or USIM card. Samsung is not
responsible for any damages or inconveniences caused by lost or stolen cards.
•
Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may
be damaged.
•
If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the SIM card may leave or fall out of the
tray.
•
If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be
damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.
•
Fully insert the tray into the tray slot to prevent liquid from entering your device.

4 Insert the tray back into the tray slot.
•
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.
•
Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may
be damaged.
•
When you remove the tray from the device, the mobile data connection will be
disabled.
•
If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the memory card may leave or fall out of
the tray.
•
If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be
damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.
•
Fully insert the tray into the tray slot to prevent liquid from entering your device.
•
The device supports the FAT and the exFAT file systems for memory cards. When
inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device will ask to reformat
the card or will not recognise the card. To use the memory card, you must format it. If
your device cannot format or recognise the memory card, contact the memory card
manufacturer or a Samsung Service Centre.
•
Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.

If pictures you take appear blurry, clean the camera lens and try again.

Make sure that the lens is not damaged or contaminated. Otherwise, the device may
not work properly in some modes that require high resolutions.
•
Your device’s camera features a wide-angle lens. Minor distortion may occur in
wide-angle pictures or videos and does not indicate device performance problems.
•
The maximum capacity for recording a video may vary depending on the resolution.
•
The camera may fog up or form condensation if the device is exposed to sudden
changes in air temperature, due to the difference in temperature outside and inside
the camera cover. Try to avoid such conditions when planning to use the camera. If
fogging does occur, allow the camera to dry naturally at room temperature before
taking pictures or recording videos, otherwise results may look blurry.
