Set Up Your Device

Learn how to set up your device

forthefirsttime.

Assemble Your Device

This section helps you to assemble your device.

Install the SIM Card and a

MemoryCard

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card. During activation, your SIM card is loaded with your subscription details.

Warning: Small components such as SIM and Memory Cards can pose a choking risk. Please be careful when handling these cards to avoid damaging them.

You can also install an optional microSD™ memory

card (notincluded) to add more memory space to your

device. A memory card can be installed at any time. It is not necessary to install it prior to using the device.

Caution: Be careful when using the removal tool to eject an internal card tray.

1. Insert the removal tool into the hole on the

SIMcard/Memory card tray, and then push until the

tray pops out.

2. Place the SIM card on the tray with the gold contacts facing down.

3. Place the memory card on the tray with the gold contacts facing down.

4. Slide the SIM card/Memory card tray back into the slot.

6Set Up Your Device

Note: Your device is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. To maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant features of your device, make sure

that the SIM card/Memory card tray openings are

maintained free of dust and water, and the tray is securely inserted prior to any exposure to liquids.

Formore information, see “Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance” on page216.

Charge the Battery

Note: You should dry the inside of the charging port

before inserting a power connector to charge your device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your device may operate abnormally. For example, it may charge more slowly or overheat. For more information, see “Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance” on page216.

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USB cable) is included with the device for charging the battery from any standard outlet.

The battery comes partially charged. You can use the device while charging.

Note: For fastest charging times, use the Adaptive Fast Charger that came with your device. This charger provides faster charging only when connected to devices that support Adaptive Fast Charging.

1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/ Accessory port.

7Set Up Your Device

Caution: Use only charging devices that are approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for

your device to maximize battery life. Usingother

accessories may void your warranty and may cause damage.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.

3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and remove the USB cable from the device when charging is complete.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is low, your device conserves its remaining battery power by dimming the screen. When the battery level becomes too low, the device automatically turns off.

For a quick check of your battery level:

► View the battery charge indicator located in the top

right corner of your device’s display. Asolid color ( ) indicates a full charge.

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot when using wireless charging or fast charging. This does not affect the device’s lifespan or performance and is in the device’s normal range of operation.

The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes too hot.

If the device heats up while charging the battery:

1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close any running apps.

2. Wait for the device to cool down, and then begin charging the device again.

If the lower part of the device overheats,

check for damage to the connected USB cable. Replace the damaged USB cable with a new Samsung-approved cable.

If using a wireless charger, do not place foreign

•

materials between the device and the wireless charger.

including wearing glasses, hats, beards, or heavy make-up.

When registering your face, ensure that you are in a

Fingerprint Scanner

Use fingerprint recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in certain apps. You can also use your fingerprint to verify your identity when logging in to your Samsung account.

Note: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor confusing even small areas of two different fingerprints is very low. But in rare cases, the sensor

may recognize a fingerprint that is similar to a registered fingerprint.

To use your fingerprint to unlock your device, you must set a pattern, PIN, or password. You can register up to three fingerprints.

Warning: Some people may have dizziness, seizures, epileptic seizures or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, even if they have never had a seizure or blackout before. Anyone who has had a seizure, loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition, or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should see a doctor before using the Iris scanner.

DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition LED as prolonged use can cause eye strain. Do not stare at the iris recognition LED light when your eyes are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away from the device,

for best results keep your eyes between 25–35cm (~10–14inches) away for optimum recognition.

Note: The Iris scanner is not intended to be used as a medical device and the biometric data collected and stored locally by the mechanism is not intended to be used for any diagnostic, therapeutic, or preventative purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this feature.

For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses.

Donot use the Iris scanner in bright sunlight or areas

with excessive reflected light (for example, by the pool or seashore). Do not use the Iris scanner in low light. Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways), and hold your head still for the scan. Tinted contact lenses and surgically repaired or replaced iris lenses may interfere with operation of the Iris scanner. Do not walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris scanner.

For more information, refer to the online support content or visit samsung.com/us/irisscanner.

To use your eyes to unlock your device, you must set a pattern, PIN, or password. For best results, perform the set up process indoors, and remove your glasses or contact lenses.
