Charge with a travel adapter
Plug the small end of the travel adapter into the
multifunction jack.
›
1
Charge the battery
Before using the device for the first time, you must charge
the battery.
You can charge the device with a travel adapter or by
connecting the device to a PC with a USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers and cables.
Unauthorised chargers or cables can cause batteries
to explode or damage your device.
• When your battery is low, the device will emit a
warning tone and display a low battery message.
The battery icon will also be empty. If the
battery level becomes too low, the device will
automatically power off. Recharge your battery to
continue using your device.
Connecting the travel adapter improperly may
cause serious damage to the device. Any damage
caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
• If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot
turn on the device, even with the travel adapter
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for
a few minutes before you try to turn on the device.
Assembling
13
Plug the large end of the travel adapter into a power
outlet.
• You can use the device while it is charging, but it
may take longer to fully charge the battery.
• While the device is charging, the touch screen may
not function due to an unstable power supply. If
this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the
device.
• While charging, the device may heat up. This
is normal and should not affect your device’s
lifespan or performance.
• If your device is not charging properly, bring your
device and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
no longer moving), unplug the travel adapter from the
device and then from the power outlet.
Do not remove the battery before removing the
travel adapter. Doing this may cause damage to the
device.
2
3
To save energy, unplug the travel adapter when not
in use. The travel adapter does not have a power
switch, so you must unplug the travel adapter from
the outlet to interrupt the power supply. The travel
adapter should remain close to the socket when
in use.
Assembling
14
Charge with a USB cable
›
Insert a memory card (optional)
Before charging, ensure that your PC is turned on.
To store additional multimedia files, you must insert

microSDHC memory cards with maximum capacities
™
of 32 GB (depending on memory card manufacturer and
type).
Plug the other end of the USB cable into a USB port
on a PC.
Depending on the type of USB cable you are using,
it may take some time before charging begins.
2
Samsung uses approved industry standards for
memory cards, but some brands may not be fully
compatible with your device. Using an incompatible
memory card may damage your device or the
memory card and can corrupt data stored on the
card.
When the battery is fully charged (the battery icon is
no longer moving), unplug the USB cable from the
device and then from the PC.

Error messages appear when launching the FM
radio
Your Samsung mobile device must have sufficient
available memory and battery power to operate the
camera application. If you receive error messages when
launching the camera, try the following:
The FM radio application on your Samsung mobile device
uses the headset cable as an antenna. Without a headset
connected, the FM radio will be unable to receive radio
stations. To use the FM radio, first ensure that the headset
is properly connected. Next, scan for and save the available
radio stations.
• Charge the battery or replace it with a battery that is fully
charged.
If you still cannot use the FM radio after performing these
steps, try accessing your desired station with another radio
receiver. If you can hear the station with another receiver,
your device may require service. Contact a Samsung
Service Centre.
• Free some memory by transferring files to a PC or
deleting files from your device.
• Restart the device. If you are still having trouble with

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification
information
Your device conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit
human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and
telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of
mobile devices that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 W/kg.
During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was
0.048 W/kg. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as
the device has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to
transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting
lower levels when possible, your device reduces your overall exposure
to RF energy.
The Declaration of Conformity statement at the back of this manual
demonstrates your device’s compliance with the European Radio &
Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more
information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung
website.
