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 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 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.

Charging with the charger

Plug the small end of the charger into the multipurpose jack of the device, and plug the large 
end of the charger into an electric socket.

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