Assemble Your Device

This section helps you to assemble your device.

Install the SIM Card and a

MemoryCard

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are

provided with a plug‑in SIM card. During activation,
your SIM card is loaded with your subscription details,
such as your Personal Identification Number (PIN),
available optional services, and other features.

Warning: Please be careful when handling the SIMcard
to avoid damaging it. Keep all SIM cards outof reach of

small children.

You can also install an optional microSD™, microSDHC™,

or microSDXC™ memory card (notincluded) to add more

memory space to yourdevice.

Note: A memory card can be installed at any time. It is

not necessary to install it prior to using the device.

Caution: Exercise care when using the removal tool to

eject the internal SIM card/Memory card tray.

4 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

1. Insert the removal tool into the hole on the

SIMcard/Memory card tray, and then push until the
tray pops out.

2. Place the SIM card on the tray.

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face

•

down into the device and that the card is

positioned as shown.

3. Place the memory card on the tray with the gold
contacts facing down.

4. Slide the SIM card/Memory card tray back into

theslot.

Note: To maintain the water-resistant and
dust-resistant features of your device, make sure

thatthe SIM card/Memory card tray and opening are
both maintained free of dust and water, and the trayis
securely inserted prior to any exposure to liquids.

5 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

Caution: If the SIM card or the memory card is not
inserted correctly, the device cannot detect it. Reorient

the SIM card or memory card and place it back into the

slot if it is not detected.

Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance

This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection

rating system.

Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of

classification IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 ‑ Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15‑35°C,
86‑106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes). Despite this
classification, your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.

Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your
device components or an internally sealed system,
this condition will void your device warranty.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the

device.

Any device which uses accessible compartments or

•

ports that can be opened should have these sealed
or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering
the system.

Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly

•

with a clean, soft cloth.

Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized

•

water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than
30 minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water,

dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the

device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh

water, rinse the device with fresh water immediately
and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry it
as instructed may cause the device to suffer from

operability or cosmetic issues.

6 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.

•

If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the

•

water and dust resistant features of the device
may be damaged.

The touchscreen and other features may not work

•

properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids. [071516]

Charge the Battery

Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard

Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USB

cable) is included with the device, for charging the

battery from any standard outlet.

The battery comes partially charged. You can use the

device while charging.

Note: It is recommended you fully charge the battery
before using your device for the first time.

Note: For fastest charging times, use the Samsung

Adaptive Fast Charger that came with your device. This
charger provides faster charging only when connected
to devices that support Adaptive FastCharging.

Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries that

are approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life. Using

other accessories may invalidate your warranty and
may cause damage.

7 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/

Accessory port.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and

then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.

3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and
remove the USB cable from the device when

charging is complete.

Note: This device is also compatible with wireless
charging devices approved by Samsung, which are
soldseparately.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is low and only a few minutes of

operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone at

regular intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its remaining

battery power by dimming the screen.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

For a quick check of your battery level:

► View the battery charge indicator located in the top

right corner of your device’s display. Asolid color
(

 ) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage value.
Viewing a percentage value can provide a better idea

of the remaining charge on the battery. For more
information, see “Battery” on page172.

8 Assemble Your DeviceGetting Started

Micro‑USB Connector
