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.

Getting started
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.
