Battery

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended periods.

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

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB cable

into 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.

Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

Basics

After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger

from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

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 charger should remain close to the electric socket and easily accessible while charging.

Viewing the remaining charging time

While charging, open the Home screen and tap

The actual charging time may vary depending on the status of your device and the charging conditions. The remaining charging time may not be displayed when you charge the device in very cold or very hot conditions.

•

Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed due to a lower electric current.

•

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 touchscreen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•

If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged. Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.

•

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