•

When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone, do not place the device close to your ears.

•

Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight, the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is irreparable and will cause dots or spots in pictures.

•

If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.

•

If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, the device’s sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be damaged and its appearance may be affected.

•

Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

–

If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

–

If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

–

If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

Battery charging tips and precautions

Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to your device.

•

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

•

Use only USB Type-C cable supplied with the device. The device may be damaged if you use Micro USB cable.

•

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.

Getting started

•

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.

•

When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved wired or wireless charger that guarantees the charging performance.

•

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

Getting started

SIM or USIM card (nano-SIM card)

Insert the SIM or USIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider.

You can insert two SIM or USIM cards so you can have two phone numbers or service providers for a single device. In some areas, data transfer speeds may be slower if two SIM cards are inserted in the device than when one SIM card is inserted.

Some services that require a network connection may not be available depending on the service provider.

Installing the SIM or USIM card

1 Insert the ejection pin into the hole next to the tray to loosen the tray.

2 Pull out the tray gently from the tray slot.

3 Place the SIM or USIM card on the tray with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards

and gently press the SIM or USIM card into the tray to secure it.

4 Insert the tray back into the tray slot.

•

Use only a nano-SIM card.

•

Use caution not to lose or let others use the SIM or USIM card. Samsung is not responsible for any damages or inconveniences caused by lost or stolen cards.

•

Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.

•

If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the SIM card may leave or fall out of the tray.

•

If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.

•

Fully insert the tray into the tray slot to prevent liquid from entering your device.

Memory card (microSD card)

Installing a memory card

Your device’s memory card capacity may vary from other models and some memory cards may not be compatible with your device depending on the memory card manufacturer and type. To view your device’s maximum memory card capacity, refer to the Samsung website.

1 Insert the ejection pin into the hole next to the tray to loosen the tray.

2 Pull out the tray gently from the tray slot.

3 Place a memory card on the tray with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards and

gently press the memory card into the tray to secure it.

Getting started

4 Insert the tray back into the tray slot.

•

Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the device. Using an incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.

•

Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

•

Ensure that the ejection pin is perpendicular to the hole. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.

•

When you remove the tray from the device, the mobile data connection will be disabled.

•

If the card is not fixed firmly into the tray, the memory card may leave or fall out of the tray.

•

If you insert the tray into your device while the tray is wet, your device may be damaged. Always make sure the tray is dry.

•

Fully insert the tray into the tray slot to prevent liquid from entering your device.

•

The device supports the FAT and the exFAT file systems for memory cards. When inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device will ask to reformat the card or will not recognise the card. To use the memory card, you must format it. If your device cannot format or recognise the memory card, contact the memory card manufacturer or a Samsung Service Centre.

•

Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.

•

When inserting a memory card into the device, the memory card’s file directory appears in the

Fingerprint recognition

In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be registered and stored in your device.

•

This feature may not be available depending on the service provider or model.

•

Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical.

•

If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be used to unlock the screen for the first time after turning on the device. To use the device, you must unlock the screen using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint. Be careful not to forget your pattern, PIN, or password.

•

If your fingerprint is not recognised, unlock the device using the pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint, and then re-register your fingerprints. If your pattern, PIN, or password is forgotten, you will not be able to use the device if you do not reset it. Samsung is not responsible for any data loss or inconvenience caused by forgotten unlock codes.

For better fingerprint recognition

When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that may affect the feature’s performance:

•

The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.

•

The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers.

•

To improve recognition performance, register the fingerprints of the fingers used most often to perform tasks on the device.

•

The Side key has a built-in fingerprint recognition sensor. Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor is not scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces.

•

Covering the fingerprint recognition sensor with accessories, such as stickers, may decrease the fingerprint recognition rate.

•

Ensure that the fingerprint recognition sensor and your fingers are clean and dry.

Settings

•

If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints. Make sure to cover the entire fingerprint recognition sensor with your finger.

•

In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the device. Avoid using this feature in dry environments or before using the feature, discharge static electricity by touching a metal object.

Secure Wi-Fi is a service that secures your Wi-Fi network connection. It encrypts data using Wi-Fi networks and disables tracking apps and websites so that you can use Wi-Fi networks safely. For example, when using an unsecure Wi-Fi network in public places, such as cafes or airports, Secure Wi-Fi is automatically activated so that no one can hack your login information or monitor your activity in apps and websites.

On the Settings screen, tap on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
