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.

Assembling

Charge the battery

Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for the first time or when the battery has been unused for an extended period, you must charge the battery.

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

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.

Assembling

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 electrical socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to the electrical socket while charging.

Insert a memory card (optional)

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 64 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device.

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 extSdCard folder under the internal memory.

Assembling

Open the cover of the memory card slot.

Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts

facing down.

Push the memory card in the memory card slot until it

locks in place. Close the memory card cover.

Remove the memory card

›

Before removing a memory card, first unmount it for safe removal.

Open the application list and select

Settings → Storage

→

Unmount SD card → OK.

Open the memory card cover.

Push the memory card gently until it disengages from the

device. Remove the memory card.

Close the memory card cover.

Do not remove a memory card while the device is transferring or accessing information, as this could result in loss of data or damage to the memory card or device.

Assembling

Format the memory card

›

Formatting your memory card on a PC may cause incompatibilities with your device. Format the memory card only on the device.

Open the application list and select Settings

→

Storage →

Format SD card

→

Format SD card → Erase everything.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup copies of all important data stored on your device. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.

Getting started

To turn on your device, press and hold the Power key. If you turn on your device for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to set up your device.

To turn off your device, press and hold the Power key and select Power off

→

OK.

Follow all posted warnings and directions from

●

authorised personnel in areas where the use of wireless devices is restricted, such as aeroplanes and hospitals.

To use your device’s non-network services only, switch

●

to Flight mode.

Switch to Flight mode

›

Getting started

Use the S Pen and the touch screen

Your device’s touch screen lets you easily select items or perform functions. Learn basic actions for using the touch screen.

Do not press the touch screen with your fingertips,

●

or use sharp tools on the touch screen. Doing so may damage the touch screen or cause it to malfunction.

Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact

●

Do not allow the touch screen to come into contact

●

with water. The touch screen may malfunction in humid conditions or when exposed to water.

●

periods. Doing so may result in afterimages or ghosting. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

●

Do not use the S Pen near by a source of magnetic

●

interference. It may cause the S Pen to malfunction or freeze.

For optimal use of the touch screen, remove the

●

screen protection film before using your device. You can purchase a replacement S Pen from your

●

local Samsung dealer. If your S Pen is not working properly, replace the tip of

●

the S pen or take it to a Samsung Service Centre. For best results, keep the S Pen mostly perpendicular

●

to the touch screen and avoid using it at sharp angles.

Getting started

●

select or launch a menu, option, or application. Tap and hold: Tap an item and hold it for more than

then drag your finger to move the item. Double-tap: Tap twice quickly with your finger to zoom in

●

To set the interface to keep the orientation, select the right side of the system bar, and then select Screen rotation on the notifications panel.

Lock or unlock the touch screen
