Charge the Battery

When to 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.

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.

The battery comes partially charged. A fully
discharged battery requires up to four hours of
charge time. You can use the device while charging.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

Note: It is recommended you fully charge the battery
before using your device for the first time.

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.

Caution: Use only charging devices and batteries
approved by Samsung. Samsung accessories are
designed for your device to maximize battery life.
Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty
and may cause damage.

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.

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

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

Calling
Make telephone calls
using a variety of calling
features and services.

NumberSync
Use your mobile number to
make and receive voice and
video calls from your tablet.

911 Call Routing: 911 calls sent through your tablet
are routed based on automatic location information
obtained from your tablet. If you cannot be located
using automatic location information, 911 calls will
be routed based on the address you provide in the
NumberSync settings of your tablet.

• Voice and video calling: Now you have two ways
to call.

Additional restrictions: Certain features are
incompatible with NumberSync, such as no SIM,
PIN lock, Net lock, Airplane mode & no Wi‑Fi,
Set mobile data limit, Mobile data off, and
Guest mode.

• One number: Calls from your tablet will display as
your mobile number.
For more information, visit att.com/numbersync.
Note: Log-in with your AT&T User ID and password
for the mobile number you would like to sync with
your tablet. If you don’t have an AT&T User ID and
password for your number, select Register.
AT&T NumberSyncSM for Android Tablets: Requires
smartphone set up for HD voice on AT&T postpaid
wireless account and compatible tablet. To use
NumberSync for video calls on tablet, phone must
be video call capable.
Device Limit: Sync up to 5 tablets.
Charges: When tablet is not connected to Wi-Fi,
data usage rates apply to voice & video calls on the
tablet. International calls sent through your tablet
incur charges consistent with your smartphone’s
rate plan or international package.
Roaming: You cannot use NumberSync outside of
the U.S., Puerto Rico, or U.S. Virgin Islands. Due to
technical limitations, calls via NumberSync cannot
be used with TTY devices and will not support
911 TTY calls. Instead, dial 911 with a TTY from
a wireless phone on a cellular network or landline
phone; or text 911 directly, where available; or call
911 through relay service using TTY or IP CTS
from a wireless phone on a cellular network or
landline phone; or use IP Relay or IP CTS from a
capable device. Visit att.com/numbersync for more
