Getting started

Charging the battery

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

Use only Samsung-approved chargers 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 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.

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.

Getting started

•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 touch screen may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.

•While charging, the device 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.

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.

Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides options that help you save the battery power. By customising these options and deactivating features in the background, you can use the device longer between charges:

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

•Close unnecessary apps using the task manager.

•Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

•Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature.

•Deactivate auto-syncing of apps.

•Decrease the backlight time.

•Decrease the screen brightness.

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.

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

•When inserting a memory card into the device, the memory card’s file directory appears in the My Files →SD card folder.

Open the cover of the memory card slot.

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

Push the memory card into the slot until it locks in place. Close the cover of the memory card slot.

Getting started

Removing the memory card

Before removing the memory card, first unmount it for safe removal. On the Home screen, tap

→Settings →General →Storage →Unmount SD card.

Open the cover of the memory card slot.

Push the memory card until it disengages from the device, and then pull it out.

Close the cover of the memory card slot.

Do not remove the memory card while the device is transferring or accessing information. Doing so can cause data to be lost or corrupted or can damage to the memory card or device. Samsung is not responsible for losses that result from the misuse of damaged memory cards, including the loss of data.

Formatting the memory card

A memory card formatted on a computer may not be compatible with the device. Format the memory card on the device.

On the Home screen, tap →Settings →General →Storage →Format SD card → Format SD card →Erase everything.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup copies of all important data stored in the device. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover loss of data resulting from user actions.

Getting started

Follow all posted warnings and directions from authorised personnel in areas where the use of wireless devices is restricted, such as aeroplanes and hospitals.
