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

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

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.

•

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