Removing the SIM or USIM card and battery

Remove the back cover.

Pull out the battery.

Press the SIM or USIM card with your finger, and then pull it out.

Getting started

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 battery 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.

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.

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.

•

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

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.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.

•

When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.

•

Activate power saving mode.

•

Close unnecessary apps using the task manager.

•

Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.

•

•

Deactivate auto-syncing of apps.

•

Decrease the backlight time.

•

Decrease the screen brightness.

•

When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.

•

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.

•

The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

Getting started

Fast charging

The device has a built-in fast charging feature. You can use this feature to charge the battery more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.

About Fast charging

•

Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the battery faster by increasing the charging power. The device supports Samsung’s Adaptive fast charging feature and Qualcomm Quick Charge 2.0.

•

To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger that supports Adaptive fast charging or Quick Charge 2.0.

Increasing the charging speed

To increase the charging speed, turn the device or its screen off when you charge the battery.

•

While charging the battery when the device is turned off, the icon appears on the screen.

•

While charging the battery when the device’s screen is turned on, a pop-up window appears requesting you to turn the screen off. Turn off the screen to increase the charging speed.

•

You cannot use the built-in fast charging feature when you charge the battery using a standard battery charger.

•

If the device heats up or the ambient air temperature rises, the charging speed may decrease automatically. This is a normal operating condition to prevent damage to the device.

Getting started

Using a memory card

Installing a memory card

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 128 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device.

•

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.

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 asks to reformat the memory card.

Remove the back cover.

Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards.

Replace the back cover.

•

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

•
