Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the device.
1 Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB cable
into the multipurpose jack.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
2 Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.
3 After fully charging, disconnect the device from the charger. First unplug the charger
from the device, and then unplug it from the electric socket.
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 charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.
8
Basics
Viewing the remaining charging time

While charging, open the Home screen and tap Apps Settings Battery.
The actual charging time may vary depending on the status of your device and the
charging conditions. The remaining charging time may not be displayed when you
charge the device in very cold or very hot conditions.
Reducing the battery consumption

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power.
r Optimise the device using the Smart manager.
r When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.

r Decrease the backlight time.
r Decrease the screen brightness.
Battery charging tips and precautions

r When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
r 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.
r 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.
r Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
r The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.
9
Basics
r If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not
function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
r 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.
r If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged.
Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.
r If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.
Fast charging
The device has a built-in fast charging feature. You can use this feature to charge the battery
more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.
About Fast charging

r Fast charging uses battery charging technology that charges the battery faster by
increasing the charging power. The device supports Samsung’s Adaptive fast charging
feature.
r To use Fast charging on your device, connect it to a battery charger that supports
Adaptive fast charging.
Increasing the charging speed

To increase the charging speed, turn the device or its screen off when you charge the battery.
r While charging the battery when the device is turned off, the icon appears on the
screen.
r You cannot use the fast charging feature when the screen is turned on. Turn off the
screen to increase the charging speed.
If the fast charging feature is not activated, on the Home screen, tap Apps Settings
Battery, and then tap the Fast cable charging switch to activate it.
If the device heats up or the ambient air temperature rises, the charging speed may
decrease automatically. This is a normal operating condition to prevent damage to
the device.

Fingerprint recognition
In order for fingerprint recognition to function, your fingerprint information needs to be
registered and stored in your device. After registering, you can set the device to use your
fingerprint for the features below:
r Screen lock
r Web sign-in
r Verify Samsung account
r Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each fingerprint to
enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of the fingerprint sensor
confusing two different fingerprints is very low. However, in rare cases where
separate fingerprints are very similar the sensor may recognise them as identical.
r If you use your fingerprint as a screen lock method, your fingerprint cannot be
used to unlock the screen after restarting the device. You must unlock the device
using a pattern, PIN, or password you set when registering the fingerprint.
r If your fingerprint is not recognised, you must take the device to a Samsung
Service Centre to have it reset. Then, you must re-register your fingerprints.
For better fingerprint recognition

When you scan your fingerprints on the device, be aware of the following conditions that
may affect the feature’s performance:
r The Home key contains a fingerprint recognition sensor. Ensure that the Home key is not
scratched or damaged by metal objects, such as coins, keys, and necklaces.
r The screen protector supplied with the device may cause the fingerprint recognition
sensor to malfunction. Remove the screen protector to improve fingerprint sensitivity.
r Ensure that the fingerprint recognition area and your fingers are clean and dry.
r The device may not recognise fingerprints that are affected by wrinkles or scars.
r The device may not recognise fingerprints from small or thin fingers.
r If you bend your finger or use a fingertip, the device may not recognise your fingerprints.
Make sure to cover the entire Home key with your finger.
103
Settings
r To improve recognition performance, register fingerprints of the hand used most often to
perform tasks on the device.
r In dry environments, static electricity can build up in the device. Avoid using this feature
in dry environments or before using the feature, discharge static electricity by touching a
metal object.
