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.

Connect the USB cable to the USB power adaptor. Then, connect the other end of the

USB cable to the wireless charger dock.

•

Use the supplied wireless charger dock and charger. The Gear cannot be charged properly with a third-party charger.

After fully charging your Gear, disconnect it from the wireless charger dock. Unplug the

charger from the wireless charger dock, and then unplug the charger from the electric socket.

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 be easily accessible while charging.

•

If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.

•

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.

•

If the Gear is being charged with other devices via a multicharger, charging may take longer.

Basics

•

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, disconnect the Gear from the wireless charger dock.

•

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 to a Samsung Service Centre.

•

Avoid using a bent or damaged USB cable.

Wearing the Gear

Putting on the Gear
