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.

the multipurpose jack.

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

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.
