Install the SIM or USIM card
When you subscribe to a cellular service, you will receive
a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card, with subscription
details, such as your personal identification number (PIN) and
optional services. To use UMTS or HSDPA services, you can
purchase a Universal Subscriber Identity Module (USIM) card.
To install the SIM or USIM card,
Open the cover of the SIM card slot.
1
Insert the SIM or USIM card with the gold-coloured
2
contacts facing down.
Close the cover of the SIM card slot.
3
Charge the battery
Your device has a built-in battery. Before using the device for
the first time, you must charge the battery.
●
Use only Samsung-approved chargers. Unauthorised
chargers can cause batteries to explode or damage
your device.
●
The back cover of your device is made of metal. Use
only the ETA-P12X series charger with your device to
prevent electric shock.
Assembling
13
●
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 travel adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a
few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
1
multifunction jack.
The shape of the travel adapter may differ depending
on your region.
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by
misuse is not covered by the warranty.
Assembling
14
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
2
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 travel adapter 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 travel
3
adapter 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
when not in use to avoid wasting power. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when in use.
Insert a memory card (optional)
To store additional files, you must insert a memory card. Your
device accepts microSD
with maximum capacities of 32 GB (depending on memory
card manufacturer and type).
or microSDHC™ memory cards
™
Assembling

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
extStorages folder under the internal memory.
Open the cover of the memory card slot.
1
Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts
2
facing down.
Push the memory card in the memory card slot until it
3
locks in place.
Close the memory card cover.

›
Before removing a memory card, first unmount it for safe
removal.
Open the application list and select
1
→
Unmount SD card.
Open the memory card cover.
2
Push the memory card gently until it disengages from the
3
device.
Remove the memory card.
4
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.
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
Erase 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.
