Getting started

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.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

13

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 devices lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop charging.
