Charging the battery

Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time.

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.

•

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 applications at once, network applications, or applications
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 applications after fully charging the battery.

11

Getting started

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor and then plug the end of the USB cable into
the multipurpose jack.

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.

After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger from the
device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

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.
