Getting started

Device layout and functions

• When using the speakers, such as when playing media files or using speakerphone, do not place the device close to your ears.
• Be careful not to expose the camera lens to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight or a laser. If the camera lens is exposed to a strong light source, such as direct sunlight, the camera image sensor may be damaged. A damaged image sensor is irreparable and will cause dots or spots in pictures.
• Do not use the device if any parts are broken or damaged, such as glass or acrylic body, as this may result in injury. Use only after it has been repaired by a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.
• If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone, speaker, or receiver, or if these parts are covered, the device's sound may become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove the dust or foreign materials with a sharp object, the device may be damaged and its appearance may be affected.

• Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:

• If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the device

• If you attach a device cover made with metallic material to the device

• If you cover the device's antenna area with your hands or other objects while using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection

• Do not cover the proximity/light sensor area with accessories, such as stickers or a cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction. (SM-X135)

• Do not cover the light sensor area with accessories, such as stickers or a cover. Doing so may cause the sensor to malfunction. (SM-X130, SM-X133)

Soft buttons

When you turn on the screen, the soft buttons will appear at the bottom of the screen. Refer to Navigation bar (soft buttons) for more information.

Charging the battery

Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended periods.

Wired charging

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adapter and plug the cable into the device's multipurpose jack to charge the battery. After fully charging, disconnect the charger from the device.

Quick charging

Use a fast charger.

You can check the connection status of the charger by opening Settings and tapping Battery.

• If fast charging does not work, open Settings, tap Battery Charging settings, and then check if the feature you want is turned on. Also, check if the USB cable and the USB power adapter are connected properly.
• You can charge the battery more quickly while the device or its screen is turned off.

Charging other devices

Use the USB cable to charge another mobile device with your tablet's battery.

Connect your tablet and the other device using your tablet's USB cable. A USB connector may be needed depending on the other device.

When charging starts, the battery charging icon will appear on the other device's screen.

The app selection pop-up window that appears on your tablet is for data transfer. Do not select an app from the pop-up window.

Battery charging tips and precautions

• Use only Samsung-approved battery specifically designed for your device. Incompatible batteries can cause serious injuries or damage to your device.
• Use of Samsung-approved chargers and cables specifically designed for your device is recommended. Use of incompatible chargers or cables may result in injury or damage to the device.

• Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
• Use of the USB Type-C cable supplied with the device is recommended. Using a Micro USB cable may cause damage to the device.
• If you charge the device while the multipurpose jack is wet, the device may be damaged. Thoroughly dry the multipurpose jack before charging the device.

• 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.
• Use of a charger approved by Samsung that guarantees charging performance is recommended.
• 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 losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
• Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed because of a lower electric current.
• 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 screen 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 or an authorised service centre.
