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.
You cannot charge the battery using a USB cable. Use the charger to charge the
battery.
Plug the small end of the charger into the DC jack of the device, and plug the large end of
the charger into an electric socket.
• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
• Do not plug the charger into the headset jack.
Basics
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.
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.

Battery charging tips and precautions
• When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
• 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.
• 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 disconnecting from the network
or losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the
battery.
• The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.
• If the device receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not
function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the device.
• 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.
• If the device is not charging properly, take the device and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.
Power saving mode

On the Home screen, tap Apps → Settings → Battery → Power saving mode, and then tap
the switch to activate it.

Section 1: Health and Safety Information
This section outlines the safety precautions associated with using your device. The
terms “device” or “mobile device” are used in this section to refer to your device.
Read this information before using your mobile device.
Note: Carefully slide out the card compartment cover to gain access to the internal
card slots. Any internal cards should be securely inserted with the label side up
(connectors down).
T677V
This device is capable of operating in Wi-Fi™ mode in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands. The
FCC requires that devices operating within 5.15-5.25 GHz may only be used
indoors, not outside, in order to avoid interference with Mobile Satellite Services
(MSS). Therefore, this device is restricted from being used outdoors when operating
in frequencies between 5.15-5.25 GHz.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) Certification
Information
Your wireless mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the exposure limits for Radio Frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the U.S. Government.
Health and Safety Information
T677V
These FCC RF exposure limits are derived from the recommendations of two expert
organizations: the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In both cases,
the recommendations were developed by scientific and engineering experts drawn
from industry, government, and academia after extensive reviews of the scientific
literature related to the biological effects of RF energy.
The RF exposure limit set by the FCC for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR is a measure
of the rate of absorption of RF energy by the human body expressed in units of
watts per kilogram (W/kg). The FCC requires wireless devices to comply with a
safety limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram (1.6 W/kg).
The FCC SAR limit incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection to the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
T677V
SAR tests are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC
with the mobile device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the mobile device while operating can be well below
the maximum reported value. This is because the mobile device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output of the mobile device.
Before a new model device is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the SAR limit established by the FCC.
Tests for each model mobile device are performed in positions and locations (e.g.
near the body) as required by the FCC.
Health and Safety Information
T677V
SAR information on this and other model mobile devices can be accessed online on
the FCC's website through
http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. To find information that pertains to a
particular model mobile device, this site uses the mobile device FCC ID number,
which is usually printed somewhere on the case of the mobile device.
Once you have the FCC ID number for a particular mobile device, follow the
instructions on the website and it should provide values for typical or maximum SAR
for a particular mobile device. Additional SAR information can also be obtained at
www.fcc.gov/encyclopedia/specific-absorption-rate-sar-cellular-telephones.
