Getting started
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 will ask
to reformat the card or will not recognize the card. To use the memory card,
you must format it. If your device cannot format or recognize the memory
card, contact the memory card manufacturer, a Samsung Service Center or an
authorized service center.
Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.
•
When inserting a memory card into the device, the memory card's file directory
•
appears in the My Files → SD card folder.
Removing the memory card
Before removing the memory card, first unmount it for safe removal.

Do not remove external storage, such as a memory card or USB storage, while the
device is transferring or accessing information, or right after transferring data.
Doing so can cause data to be corrupted or lost or cause damage to the external
storage or device. Samsung is not responsible for losses, including loss of data,
resulting from the misuse of external storage devices.
Formatting the memory card
A memory card formatted on a computer may not be compatible with the device. Format
the memory card on the device.

2
Swipe to the left to view the SD card page.

Before formatting the memory card, remember to make backup copies of all
important data stored in the memory card. The manufacturer's warranty does not
cover loss of data resulting from user actions.
