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 may vary depending on the •

Assembling
Charge the battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for the rst time,
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 the supplied 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 will also
be empty and turn red. If the battery level becomes too low, the
device will automatically power o. Recharge your battery to
continue using your device.
Connect the PC data cable to the USB power adapter and then plug the
1
end of the PC data cable into the multifunction jack.
Improperly connecting the travel adapter can cause serious damage
to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the
warranty.

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

3
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. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional les, you must insert a memory card. Your device
accepts microSD
capacities of 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and type).

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.
