The Battery icon in the Status Bar shows the battery power level. When battery power is 15% or less, your device prompts you to charge the battery. If you continue to operate the device without charging, the device powers off. For battery use information, see “About Device” on page 155.

Tip:

Touch the Time field to display battery charge status.

Accessory Port.

Page 13

3. Plug the Charging Head into a standard AC power

outlet.

Warning!

While the device is charging, if the touch screen does not function due to an unstable power supply, unplug the USB power adapter from the power outlet or unplug the USB cable from the device.

4. When charging is complete, unplug the Charging Head

from the power outlet and remove the USB cable from the device.

Installing the SIM Card

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a plug-in SIM card loaded with your subscription details, such as your PIN, available optional services, and many others features.



Carefully slide the SIM card into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks into place. The illustration shows the screen facing up.

•

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face downward and that the notched corner of the card goes in first.

Important!

The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of small children.

Note:

If the card is not inserted correctly, the device will not detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the slot if the SIM is not detected.

Entering Text

This section describes how to select the desired text input method when entering characters into your tablet. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.

Your tablet comes equipped with an orientation detector that can tell if the tablet is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.

Text Input Methods

There are three text input methods available:

• Samsung keyboard (default): Samsung’s onscreen

QWERTY keyboard that can be used in both portrait and landscape orientation.

• Swype: Instead of touching each key to enter text, use

Wi-Fi

About Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi (short for “wireless fidelity” and sometimes referred to as wifi) is a term used for certain types of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). These device types use an 802.11 wireless specification to transmit and receive wireless data. Wi-Fi communication requires access to an existing and accessible Wireless Access Point (WAP). These WAPs can either be Open (unsecured) as within most Hot Spots, or Secured (requiring knowledge of the Router name and password).

Turning Wi-Fi On

By default, your device’s Wi-Fi feature is turned off. Turning Wi-Fi on makes your device able to discover and connect to compatible in-range WAPs.
