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.
Page 12
Assembling
12
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
1
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.
Page 13
Assembling
13
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.
2
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
3
power adapter and USB cable from the device, and then
from the power outlet.
Page 14
Assembling
14
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.

2
Push the memory card gently until it disengages from the
3
device.

4

5
Do not remove a memory card while the device is

result in loss of data or damage to the memory card or
device.
Page 16

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

→
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

of data resulting from user actions.

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