Assemble Your Device

This section helps you to assemble your device.

Install the SIM Card and a MemoryCard

When you subscribe to a cellular network, you are provided with a

plug-in SIM card. During activation, your SIM card is loaded with your

subscription details, such as your Personal Identification Number

(PIN), available optional services, and other features.

Warning: Please be careful when handling the SIMcard to avoid

damaging it. Keep all SIM cards outof reach of small children.

You can also install an optional microSD™, microSDHC™, or

microSDXC™ memory card (notincluded) to add more memory space

to yourdevice. A memory card can be installed at any time. It is not

necessary to install it prior to using the device.

Caution: Exercise care when using the removal tool to eject the

internal SIM card/Memory card tray.

1. Insert the removal tool into the hole on the SIMcard/Memory card

tray, and then push until the tray pops out.

2. Place the SIM card on the tray.

• Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face down into the

device and that the card is positioned as shown.

3. Place the memory card on the tray with the gold contacts facing

down.

Set Up Your Device

4. Slide the SIM card/Memory card tray back into the slot.

Note: Your device is IP68 rated for dust and water resistance. To

maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant features of your

device, make sure that the SIM card/Memory card tray openings are

maintained free of dust and water, and the tray is securely inserted

prior to any exposure to liquids. For more information, refer to

“Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance” on page255.

Charge the Battery

Note: You should dry the inside of the charging port before inserting a

power connector to charge your device. If the charging port is not fully

dry, your device may operate abnormally. For example, it may charge

more slowly or overheat. For more information, refer to “Maintaining

Water and Dust Resistance” on page255.

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.

Set Up Your Device

The battery comes partially charged. You can use the device while

charging.

Note: For fastest charging times, use the Adaptive Fast Charger that

came with your device. This charger provides faster charging only

when connected to devices that support Adaptive Fast Charging.

1. Insert the USB cable into the USB charger/Accessory port.

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.

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.

Note: This device is also compatible with wireless charging devices

approved by Samsung, which are soldseparately.

Set Up Your Device

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.

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.

While charging, the device and the charger may become hot when

using wireless charging or fast charging. 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.

Set Up Your Device

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.

If using a wireless charger, do not place foreign materials between the

device and the wireless charger.

Micro-USB Connector

You can use the included Micro-USB connector to connect a

Micro-USB cable (such as from your old device) to your new device for

charging with the charging head, or for connecting to a computer.

Note: The Micro-USB connector does not support On-the-Go (OTG)

devices such as memory sticks, external hard drives, or keyboard and

mouse accessories.

Set Up Your Device

Reverse Charging

The included USB connector allows you to charge another device

through a USB cable.

Youcan also use the USB connector for transferring contacts, photos,

and other content from an old device. For more information, see

Fingerprint Scanner

Use fingerprint recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in

certain apps.

You can also use your fingerprint to verify your identity when logging

in to your Samsung account.

Note: Fingerprint recognition uses the unique characteristics of each

fingerprint to enhance the security of your device. The likelihood of

the fingerprint sensor confusing even small areas of two different

fingerprints is very low. But in rare cases, the sensor may recognize a

fingerprint that is similar to a registered fingerprint.

To use your fingerprint to unlock your device, you must set a pattern,

PIN, or password. You can register up to three fingerprints.

1. From a Home screen, swipe up to access Apps.

2. Tap Settings > Lock screen and security > Fingerprint scanner.

3. Follow the prompts to register your fingerprint.

Iris Scanner

Use iris recognition as an alternative to entering passwords in certain

apps. You can also use your irises to verify your identity when logging

in to your Samsung account.

Warning: Some people may have dizziness, seizures, epileptic seizures

or blackouts triggered by light flashes or patterns, even if they have

never had a seizure or blackout before. Anyone who has had a seizure,

loss of awareness, or other symptom linked to an epileptic condition,

or has a family history of such symptoms or conditions, should see a

doctor before using the Iris scanner.

DO NOT stare directly into the infrared iris recognition LED as

prolonged use can cause eye strain. Do not stare at the iris recognition

LED light when your eyes are less than 20 cm (~8 inches) away

Note: The Iris scanner is not intended to be used as a medical

device and the biometric data collected and stored locally by the

mechanism is not intended to be used for any diagnostic, therapeutic,

or preventative purposes. Please follow all instructions for use of this

feature.

For best results, remove eyeglasses and sunglasses. Do not use the

Iris scanner in bright sunlight or areas with excessive reflected light

(for example, by the pool or seashore). Do not use the Iris scanner in

low light. Look straight at the device (not up, down or sideways), and

hold your head still for the scan. Tinted contact lenses and surgically

repaired or replaced iris lenses may interfere with operation of the Iris

scanner. Do not walk or operate a vehicle while using the Iris scanner.

Before You Start Exercising

This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While moderate

physical activity, such as brisk walking, is safe for most people,

health experts suggest that you talk with your doctor before you start

an exercise program, particularly if you have any of the following

conditions:

• Heart disease;

• Asthma or lung disease;

• Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;

• Arthritis.

You should also check with your doctor if you have symptoms

suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious disease, such as:

• Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms during physical

activity;

• Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

• Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or when lying

down or going to bed;

• Ankle swelling, especially at night;

• A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;

• Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that goes away

when you rest.

Apps

142

Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that

you see your doctor before engaging in vigorous exercise if two or

more of the following apply:

• You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older than age 55;

• You have a family history of heart disease before age 55;

• You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

• You have not exercised for three months or more;

• You are overweight or obese;

• You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;

• You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called prediabetes.

When in Doubt — Check It Out

If you are unsure of your health status, have several health problems,

or are pregnant, you should speak with your doctor before starting a

new exercise program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is a

good way to plan an exercise program that is right and safe for you.

Consider it the first step on your path to physical fitness.

Maintaining Water and Dust Resistance

This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection rating system.

Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and shown

to be water and dust resistant in certain circumstances (meets

requirements of classification IP68 as described by the international

standard IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection provided by Enclosures

[IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C, 86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30

minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to

water damage in any situation. It is important that all compartments

are closed tightly.

Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your device components

or an internally sealed system, this condition will void your device

warranty.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device.

• Any device which uses accessible compartments or ports that

can be opened, should have these sealed or closed tightly to

prevent liquid from entering the system.

Legal 255

• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft

cloth. If your device has gotten wet, you should dry the inside of the

charging port before inserting a power connector to charge your

device. If the charging port is not fully dry, your device may operate

abnormally. For example, it may charge more slowly or overheat.

• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized water, or to water

over 5.0 feet deep for more than 30 minutes. If your device is

exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If

the device is exposed to any liquid other than fresh water, rinse the

device with fresh water immediately and dry it thoroughly with a

clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device in fresh water and dry

it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability or

cosmetic issues.

• Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.

• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust

resistant features of the device may be damaged.

• To maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant features of your

device, if an S Pen is available for use, verify it is securely inserted

prior to any exposure to liquids.

• The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the

device is used in water or in other liquids. [110116]
