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 may vary depending on the software and accessories available in your region or offered by your service provider.

The supplied accessories perform best for your device.

●

Accessories other than the supplied ones may not be compatible with your device.

Assembling

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.

●

Charge the battery only with a 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 If the battery level becomes too low, the device will automatically power off. Recharge your battery to continue using your device.

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 and the touch keys may not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, 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 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 (the battery icon is no

longer 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.
