Getting started

Charging the battery

Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also
used to charge the device by connecting them via the USB cable.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

•

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the device cannot be turned on
immediately when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for
a few minutes before turning on the device.

•

If you use multiple applications at once, network applications, or applications
that need a connection to another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid
disconnecting from the network or losing power during a data transfer, always use
these applications after fully charging the battery.

Charging with the charger

Plug the small end of the charger into the multipurpose jack of the device, and plug the large
end of the charger into an electric socket.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

13

Getting started

•

The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.

•

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

•

While charging, the device may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
device’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging.

•

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

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

Do not remove the battery before removing the charger. This may damage the
device.

To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
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.

Checking the battery charge status

When you charge the battery while the device is off, the following icons will show the current
battery charge status:

Troubleshooting

Before contacting a Samsung Service Centre, please attempt the following solutions. Some

Password: When the device lock feature is enabled, you must enter the password you set

must enter the PIN supplied with the SIM or USIM card. You can disable this feature by
using the Lock SIM card menu.

PUK: Your SIM or USIM card is blocked, usually as a result of entering your PIN incorrectly
several times. You must enter the PUK supplied by your service provider.

•

PIN2: When you access a menu requiring the PIN2, you must enter the PIN2 supplied with
the SIM or USIM card. For details, contact your service provider.
