Memory card
Installing a memory card
A memory card must be inserted to take photos or record videos. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device.
• Some memory cards may not be fully compatible with the Gear 360. Using an incompatible card may damage the Gear 360 or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.
•If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or reduce the video size.
•Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.
•Memory cards are sold separately.
•If you insert or remove a memory card while the Gear 360 is turned on, the power will turn off.
•Frequent writing and erasing of data shortens the lifespan of memory cards.
•When a memory card is not inserted, Check SD Card is displayed on the camera status screen.

Battery
Charging 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 Gear.
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•Chargers are sold separately.
•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.
14
Basics
1 Plug the small end of the charger into the multipurpose jack of the Gear 360, and plug the large end of the charger into an electric socket.
Multipurpose jack
2 After fully charging, disconnect the Gear 360 from the charger. First unplug the charger from the Gear 360, and then unplug it from the electric socket.

Battery charging tips and precautions
•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.
•Using a power source other than the charger, 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 Samsung Gear 360 and the charger may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the Samsung Gear 360’s lifespan or performance. If the temperature rises above a certain level, battery charging will be stopped.
•You cannot charge the Samsung Gear 360 while recording a video, using the time lapse feature, or using the viewfinder remotely on the connected mobile device.
•To save the battery power, activate the auto shut-off feature.
•If the Samsung Gear 360 is not charging properly, take the Samsung Gear 360 and the charger to a Samsung Service Centre.
