Hello Bixby
Bixby Assistant responds to your voice commands and
can help you understand your settings and set up your
Samsung device.
For more information, see “Bixby” on page26 .
Learn about your mobile device
hardware, assemblyprocedures,
and how to get started usingyour
new device.
Getting Started
Set Up Your
Device
Learn how to set up your device for the firsttime.
Set Up Your Device 5
Assemble Your Device
This section helps you to assemble your device.
Install an Optional Memory Card
You can install a microSD
memory card (notincluded)
to add more memory space to yourdevice.
Warning: Small components such as Memory Cards can
pose a choking risk. Please be careful when handling
these cards to avoid damaging them.
1. Insert the removal tool into the hole on the Memory
card tray, and then push until the tray pops out.
Caution: Be careful when using the removal tool to
eject an internal card tray.
2. Place the memory card on the tray with the gold
contacts facing down.
3. Slide the Memory card tray back into the slot.
Set Up Your Device 6
Charge the Battery
Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard
Li-Ion battery. A USB charger (charging head and USB
cable) is included with the device for charging the
battery from any standard outlet.
The battery comes partially charged. You can use the
device while charging.
1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/
Accessory port.
Caution: Use only charging devices that are approved
by Samsung. Samsung accessories are designed for
your device to maximize battery life. Using other
accessories may void your warranty and may cause
damage.
2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head, and
then plug the charging head into a standard outlet.
3. Unplug the charging head from the outlet and
remove the USB cable from the device when
charging is complete.
When to Charge the Battery
When the battery is low and only a few minutes of
operation remain, the device sounds a warning tone
at regular intervals. In this condition, your device
conserves its remaining battery power by dimming the
screen. When the battery level becomes too low, the
device automatically turns off.
Set Up Your Device 7
For a quick check of your battery level:
View the battery charge indicator located in the top
right corner of your device’s display. Asolid color
( ) indicates a full charge.
You can also choose to display a percentage value.
Viewing a percentage value can provide a better idea
of the remaining charge on the battery. For more
information, see “Battery” on page109.
While charging, the device and the charger may
become hot. This does not affect the device’s lifespan
or performance and is in the device’s normal range of
operation.
The charger may stop charging if the battery becomes
too hot.
If the device heats up while charging the battery:
1. Disconnect the charger from the device and close
any running apps.
2. Wait for the device to cool down, and then begin
charging the device again.
If the lower part of the device overheats,
check for damage to the connected USB cable.
Replace the damaged USB cable with a new
Samsung‑approved cable.
