The device supports the FAT and the exFAT file systems for SD cards. When
inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device will ask to

card manufacturer, a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.

Do not remove external storage, such as an SD card or USB storage, while the
device is transferring or accessing information, or right after transferring data.
Doing so can cause data to be damaged or lost or cause damage to the external
storage or phone. Samsung is not responsible for losses, including loss of data,
resulting from the misuse of external storage devices.
