Getting started

Installing the SIM card and battery

Insert the SIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider, and the included battery.

•

Only microSIM cards work with the device.

•

Some LTE services may not be available depending on the service provider. For details about service availability, contact your service provider.

Remove the back cover.

Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.

Insert the SIM card with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards.

Getting started

Push the SIM card into the slot until it locks in place.

•

Do not insert a memory card into the SIM card slot. If a memory card happens to be lodged in the SIM card slot, take the device to a Samsung Service Centre to remove the memory card.

Insert the battery.

Replace the back cover.

Getting started

Removing the SIM card and battery

Remove the back cover.

Pull out the battery.

Press the SIM card gently with your finger, and then pull it out.

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 device emits a warning tone and displays a low battery power message.

•

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.

•

This device is compatible with USB 3.0 and under devices. When using a USB 3.0 device, make sure to use a USB 3.0 cable.

Charging with the charger

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and then plug the end of the USB cable into the multipurpose jack.

Getting started

When using a USB 2.0 cable, plug the USB cable into the right side of the multipurpose jack as shown in the image below.

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

•

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.

Getting started
