SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 NEO GM-G903F (01) PDF MANUAL

Attempting to customize the operating system may cause the device or apps to work improperly. Samsung is not liable for performance issues or incompatibilities caused by edited registry settings or modified operating system software.

Modifying the device’s operating system or installing softwares from unofficial sources may result in device malfunctions and data corruption or loss. These actions are violations of your Samsung licence agreement and will void your warranty.

You may incur additional charges for data services, such as messaging, uploading and downloading, auto-syncing, or using location services depending on your data plan. For large data transfers, it is recommended to use the Wi-Fi feature.

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the device and to maintain its water- and dust-resistant performance:

Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes.

Ensure that the back cover is tightly closed. Otherwise, it may not provide protection from water and dust.

Do not immerse the device in water for extended periods.

Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap, ocean waves, or waterfalls.

Do not open the device’s covers when the device is in water or in very humid places, such as swimming pools or bathrooms.

Do not open the back cover using wet hands or when the device is wet.

The rubber seal fitted to the back cover is an important component. Take care when opening and closing the back cover to avoid damaging the rubber seal. Also, ensure that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust, to prevent damage to the device.

If the device is exposed to freshwater, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the device is exposed to any liquid other than freshwater, rinse the device with freshwater immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse and dry as instructed may cause operability or cosmetic issues.

The back cover may be loosened if the device is dropped or receives an impact. Ensure that all covers are properly aligned and tightly closed.

If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or speaker is wet, sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Ensure the microphone or speaker is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.

The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other liquids.

Use only Samsung-approved accessories. Using unapproved accessories may cause performance problems and malfunctions that are not covered by the warranty.

Some accessories, such as docking devices, may not have the same water- and dust-resistance certification.

Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.

You can purchase additional accessories from your local Samsung retailer. Make sure they are compatible with the device before purchase.

Availability of all accessories is subject to change depending entirely on manufacturing companies.

Do not cover the antenna area with your hands or other objects. This may cause connectivity problems or drain the battery.

Using a Samsung-approved screen protector is recommended. Unapproved screen protectors may cause the sensors to malfunction.

1. Remove the back cover. Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you remove the back cover. Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively, as this may damage it.

2. Insert the battery with the battery’s gold-coloured contacts properly aligned with the device’s contacts.

3. Replace the back cover. Align it properly and press down to secure it. Ensure the back cover is closed tightly to prevent water and dust from entering. An open or loose back cover may allow water and dust to enter and cause damage.

Use only Samsung-approved back covers and accessories with the device.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Pull out 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.

1. Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor, and then plug the end of the USB cable into the multipurpose jack. Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device.

2. Plug the USB power adaptor into an electric socket.

3. 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 it 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.

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.

Your device provides various options that help you conserve battery power:

Optimise the device using the Smart manager.

When you are not using the device, switch to sleep mode by pressing the Power key.

Activate power saving mode.

Close unnecessary apps.

Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.

Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature when not in use.

Deactivate auto-syncing of apps.

Decrease the backlight time.

Decrease the screen brightness.

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.

Using a power source other than the USB power adaptor, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed due to 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 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.

Save battery power by limiting the device’s functions.

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

To automatically activate power saving mode when the remaining battery power reaches the preset level, tap Start power saving and select an option.

Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

1. Remove the back cover and battery.

2. Insert a memory card with the gold-coloured contacts facing downwards.

3. Replace the battery and back cover.

The device supports the FAT and the exFAT file systems for memory cards. When inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device asks to reformat the memory card.

Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.

A memory card formatted on a computer may not be compatible with the device. Format the memory card on the device.

On the Home screen, tap Apps → Settings → Storage → Format SD card → FORMAT SD CARD → ERASE EVERYTHING.
