Using the SIM or USIM card and battery

Installing the SIM or USIM card

Insert the SIM or USIM card provided by the mobile telephone service provider.

•

Only microSIM cards work with the device.

•

Some LTE services may not be available depending on the service provider. For more information about service availability, contact your service provider.

Open the cover of the SIM card slot.

Push the SIM or USIM card into the slot until it locks in place.

•

Do not insert a memory card into the SIM card slot. If a memory card happens to be lodged in the SIM card slot, take the device to a Samsung Service Centre to remove the memory card.

•

Use caution not to lose or let others use the SIM or USIM card. Samsung is not responsible for any damages or inconveniences caused by lost or stolen cards.

Getting started

Removing the SIM or USIM card

Open the cover of the SIM card slot.

Push the SIM or USIM card until it disengages from the device, and then pull it out.

Close the cover of the SIM card slot.

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 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.

Getting started

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.

•

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.

Getting started

•
