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.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
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.
Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and plug the USB cable into the
1
device’s multipurpose jack.
Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
2
After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger

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

Secure Folder

Introduction
Secure Folder protects your private content and apps, such as photos and notes, from being accessed by others. You can keep your private content and apps secure even when the device is unlocked.
Secure Folder is a separate, secured storage area. The data in Secure Folder cannot be transferred to other devices via unapproved sharing methods, such as USB or Wi-Fi Direct. Attempting to customise the operating system or modifying software will cause Secure Folder to be automatically locked and inaccessible. Before saving data in Secure Folder, make sure to back up a copy of the data in another secure location.
