Getting started
After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger from the
device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The device should remain close to the electric socket
while charging.

incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data
stored in it.
•

•
The device supports the FAT, exFAT, NTFS file system for memory cards. When

When you use applications that require more power or use applications on your device for an
extended period of time, your device may feel hot to the touch. This is normal and should not
affect your device’s lifespan or performance.

following:
•
Charge the battery.
•
Free some memory by transferring files to other storage devices or deleting files from

Troubleshooting
Error messages appear when opening music files
Some music files may not play on your Samsung device for a variety of reasons. If you receive
error messages when opening music files on your device, try the following:
•
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.
•
Ensure that the music file is not Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected. If the file is
DRM-protected, ensure that you have the appropriate licence or key to play the file.
•
Ensure that your device supports the file type.
Another Bluetooth device is not located
•
Ensure that the Bluetooth wireless feature is activated on your device.
•
Ensure that the Bluetooth wireless feature is activated on the device you wish to connect

•
Ensure that your device and the other Bluetooth device are within the maximum
Bluetooth range (10 m).
If the tips above do not solve the problem, contact a Samsung Service Centre.
A small gap appears around the outside of the device case
•
This gap is a necessary manufacturing feature and some minor rocking or vibration of
parts may occur.
•
Over time, friction between parts may cause this gap to expand slightly.
