Charge the battery
Before using the device for the first time or when the battery
has been unused for an extended period, you must charge
the battery. You can charge the battery with a travel adapter
or by connecting the device to a computer with a USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unapproved chargers or cables may cause batteries to
explode or damage your device.

●
When your battery is low, the device will emit a
warning tone and show a low battery message.
Recharge your battery to continue using your device.
If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot
turn on the device, even with the device charging.
Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes
before you try to turn 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.
Charge with a travel adapter
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
multifunction jack.

●
If the device receives an unstable power supply while
charging, the touch screen may not function. If this
happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device.
●
The device may heat up while charging. This is
normal and should not affect your device’s lifespan or
performance.
●
If your device is not charging properly, take your

When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel
adapter from the device, and then from the electrical
socket.
Do not remove the battery while the device is
connected to the travel adapter. Doing so may damage
the device.
To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not in
use. The travel adapter does not have a power switch, so
you must unplug the travel adapter from the electrical
socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The
device should remain close to the electrical socket while
charging.
