Battery Charging Tips and
Precautions
•
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 losing
power during a data transfer, always use these
apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the USB power
adapter, such as a computer, may result in a
slower charging speed due to a lower electric
current.
•
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 touchscreen may not function.
If this happens, unplug the charger from the
device.
•
While charging, the device and the charger 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
Center.
