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 travel adapter  
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a  
while 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.  
Assembling

Charge with a travel adapter  
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the  
multifunction jack.  
1
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may cause  
serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by  
misuse is not covered by the warranty.  
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into an electrical  
socket.  
2
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  
device and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.  
Assembling  
18  
When the battery is fully charged, first unplug the travel  
adapter from the device, and then from the electrical  
socket.  
3
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.

Insert a memory card (optional)  
Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities  
of 64 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and  
type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your  
device.  
Samsung uses approved industry standards for memory  
cards, but some brands may not be fully compatible  
with your device. Using an incompatible memory card  
may damage your device or the memory card. It may  
also corrupt data saved on the memory card.  
Your device supports only the FAT file structure for  
memory cards. If you insert a memory card formatted  
with a different file structure, your device will ask you  
to reformat the memory card.  
Frequent writing and erasing of data will shorten the  
lifespan of your memory cards.  
When you insert a memory card into your device,  
the memory card’s file directory will appear in the  
extSdCard folder.
