Assembling

Insert the SIM card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and other features.

With gold contacts facing down and the angled corner of the SIM card facing into the slot, push the SIM card into the slot until it locks into place.

The plug-in SIM card can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.

If the card is not inserted correctly, the tablet does not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected..

Assembling

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.

●

Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot charge the battery with the PC data cable.

●

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning tone and display a low battery message. The battery icon becomes too low, the device will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

Connect the PC data cable to the USB power adapter

and then plug the end of the PC data cable into the multifunction jack.

The shape of the USB power adapter may differ depending on your region.

Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause serious damage to the device or USB power adapter. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Assembling

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 PC data 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 (the battery icon is no

longer moving), unplug the USB power adapter and PC data cable from the device and then from the power outlet.

To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the travel adapter from the outlet to interrupt the power supply.
