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 aect your devices
lifespan or performance.
If your device is not charging properly, bring your
•
device and the charger to a Samsung Service
Centre.
