Maintaining water and dust resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to
prevent damage to the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of
the device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap,
ocean waves, or waterfalls.
•
If the device or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling 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 the device
in freshwater and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability
or cosmetic issues.
•
If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water- and dust-resistant features of
the device may be damaged.
•
The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water
or in other liquids.
•
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and shown to be water- and
dust-resistant in certain circumstances (meets requirements of classification IP67 as
described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided by
Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15 - 35°C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 metre, for 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any
situation.

Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using the Gear for the first time. A computer can be also used to
charge the Gear by connecting them via the USB cable.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Gear.
•
When the battery power is low, the battery icon appears empty.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Gear cannot be turned on immediately
when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the Gear.
•
The charging dock provided with the Gear is used for charging the Gear’s battery.
Take care not to lose the dock.
Confirm the location of the charging terminals on the Gear and the charging dock.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the Gear. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•
While charging, some features are not available.
•
If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen
may not function. If this happens, unplug the charger from the Gear.
•
While charging, the Gear may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
Gear’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging.
•
If the Gear is not charging properly, take the Gear and the charger to a Samsung
Service Centre.
•
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.

Health management features
Use the pedometer and heart rate measuring features to monitor and manage your health
and physical condition.
The pedometer and heart rate measuring features are intended for leisure, wellbeing and fitness purposes only and are not intended for medical use. Before using
these features, read the instructions carefully. Consult a medical professional if you
experience any health problems or need medical assistance.
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 programme, 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
36
Page 37
Using health management features
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 exercise for three months or more.
•
You are overweight or obese.
•
You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
•
You have impaired glucose tolerance, also call pre-diabetes.
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.
Wearing the Gear
When measuring your heart rate, wear the Gear snugly on your arm above your wrist as
shown in the figure below. Do not fasten the Gear too tightly.

Using health management features
•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on
measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your vision.
Please make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your
body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to
be recorded inaccurately.
•
If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest for
30 minutes and then measure again.
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart
rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing
so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy may
vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as blood
circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of blood
vessels. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be
inaccurate.
•
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when the
device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate measurement
is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s heart rate sensor to the
right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or turn the device so the heart rate sensor sits
firmly against the inside of your wrist.
•
If the heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s strap and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects
may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
If your device becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing skin to a
hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.
