Doing so may damage the cover.

Insert the battery and replace the back cover.

2. 

Charging the battery

Plug a charger into the multipurpose jack.

Unplug the charger when charging is complete.

2. 

Use only Samsung-approved chargers, 

• 

batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers 

or cables can cause batteries to explode or 

damage your device.

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.

capacities of 4 GB. Depending on the memory card

The device supports only the FAT file system 

• 

for memory cards. When inserting a card 

formatted in a different file system, the device
