problems with the battery or need it replaced, take the device
to a Samsung Service Centre.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.

3
cable from the device, and then 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.
