after fully charging the battery.

current.

• If the Gear is being charged with other devices via a multi-charger, charging may takelonger.

• The Gear can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.

• If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, immediately
disconnect the Gear from the wireless charger dock and leave the device aside until another power connection can be found.

• While charging, the Gear may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the Gear’s lifespan or performance. If the battery feels
hot to the touch during this charging process, remove the Gear from the charger and allow it to cool down before restarting the
charging process, or call 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) to receive technical support.

• If the Gear is not charging properly, take the Gear to a Samsung Service Center.

• Avoid using a bent or damaged USB cable.
