The supplied accessories perform best for your device.

Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be compatible with your device.

Install the SIM card and battery

Assembling

4 Insert the battery.

5 Replace the back cover and turn the screw clockwise to lock the cover.

Ensure that the screw is unlocked when you replace the back cover.

Ensure that the cover is completely closed and the screw is tightly fastened to avoid water damage.

Assembling

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery.

You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unauthorized chargers or cables can cause batteries to explode or damage your device.

●●

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.

Assembling

››Maintain your water and dust resistant feature

Your phone offers limited protection against accidental exposure to water in some conditions, but you should never intentionally immerse the phone in water.

●● Do not expose your phone to high water pressures or any other liquids, such as salt water, ionized water or dirty water.

The back, headset, and multifunction jack covers may be loosened slightly if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all the covers are properly aligned and tightly closed. Otherwise, they may not provide protection from water.

●● Always keep the back cover, headset jack cover, multifunction jack cover, and the area around them clean and be careful to avoid damaging them. If these areas become contaminated, they may not provide protection from dust and water.

●● Any service performed on the phone may reduce the water and dust protection. Avoid exposing the phone to dust and water if any service has been performed on it.

●● Exposing the phone to extreme temperatures may reduce the water and dust protection. Use your phone at -20 °C to 50 °C.
