Charging the battery  
Use the charger to charge the battery before using it for the first time. A computer can be also  
used to charge the device by connecting them via the USB cable.  
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 device emits a warning tone and displays a low  
battery power message.  
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.  
Charging with the charger  
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 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.  
Do not remove the battery before removing the charger. This may damage the  
device.  
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 device should remain close to the electric socket  
while charging.

Troubleshooting  
Error messages appear when launching the camera  
Your Samsung device must have sufficient available memory and battery power to operate  
the camera application. If you receive error messages when launching the camera, try the  
following:  
Charge the battery or replace it with a battery that is fully charged.  
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.  
Restart the device. If you are still having trouble with the camera application after trying  
these tips, contact a Samsung Service Centre.  
Error messages appear when launching the FM radio  
The FM radio application on your Samsung device uses the headset cable as an antenna.  
Without a headset connected, the FM radio cannot receive radio stations. To use the FM radio,  
first ensure that the headset is properly connected. Next, scan for and save the available radio  
stations.  
If you still cannot use the FM radio after performing these steps, try accessing your desired  
station with another radio receiver. If you can hear the station with another receiver, your  
device may require service. Contact a Samsung Service Centre.  
Error messages appear when opening music files  
Some music files may not play on your Samsung device for a variety of reasons. If you receive  
error messages when opening music files on your device, try the following:  
Free some memory by transferring files to a computer or deleting files from your device.  
Ensure that the music file is not Digital Rights Management (DRM)-protected. If the file is  
DRM-protected, ensure that you have the appropriate licence or key to play the file.  
Ensure that your device supports the file type.
