Assembling

Charge the battery

Before using the device for the first time, you must charge the battery. Charge the battery only with a charger. You cannot charge the battery with a USB cable.

You cannot replace the battery in the device. If you have problems with the battery or need it replaced, take the device to a Samsung Service Centre.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables may cause batteries to explode or damage your device.

●

When your battery is low, the device will emit a warning tone and show a low battery message. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

●

If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot turn on the device, even while it is charging. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before you try to turn on the device.

●

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

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and

then plug the end of the USB cable into the multifunction jack.

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.

●

If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the USB cable from the device.

●

The device may heat up while charging. This is normal and should not affect your device’s lifespan or performance.

●

If your device is not charging properly, take your device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.

When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the USB

cable from the device, and then unplug the USB power adapter from the electrical socket.

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.
