Basics
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.

Basics

3
Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
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 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 Apps →Settings →Battery.
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.
Reducing the battery consumption
Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.
•Optimise the device using the Smart manager.
•When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.
•Activate power saving mode.
•Close unnecessary apps.
•Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.
•Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature when not in use.
•Deactivate auto-syncing of apps.

Basics
Battery charging tips and precautions
•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 apps at once, network apps, or apps 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 apps after fully charging the battery.
•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.
•While charging, the device and the charger 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.
Power saving mode
Save the battery power by limiting the device’s functions.
On the Home screen, tap Apps →Settings →Battery →Power saving mode, and then tap the switch to activate it.
To automatically activate power saving mode when the remaining battery power reaches the preset level, tap Start power saving and select an option.

Basics
Ultra power saving mode
Use this mode to extend the device’s battery power. In ultra power saving mode, the device performs the following:

•Deactivates the mobile data connection when the screen turns off.
•Deactivates the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features.
On the Home screen, tap Apps →Settings →Battery →Ultra power saving mode, and then tap the switch to activate it.
To deactivate ultra power saving mode, tap MORE →Turn off Ultra power saving mode.
The usage time left shows the time remaining before the battery power runs out. Usage time left may vary depending on your device settings and operating conditions.
