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.

Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

Ensure that the USB cable is properly connected to the wireless charger dock.

Basics

Place the Gear into the wireless charger dock.

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.

Battery charging tips and precautions

•

If there are obstructions between the Gear and the wireless charger dock, the Gear may not charge properly. Prevent the Gear and the wireless charger from coming into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.

•

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.

•

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

Open the buckle and place the strap around your wrist. Fit the strap to your wrist, insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it.

Do not bend the strap excessively. Doing so may damage the Gear.

To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Gear, wear the Gear firmly around your lower arm just above the wrist. Refer to Wearing the Gear correctly for details.

Basics

Strap tips and precautions

•

Be cautious when wearing the Gear. If you have sensitive skin or fasten the Gear too tightly, you may feel some discomfort.

•

Some people may experience discomfort when wearing the Gear for prolonged periods.

•

Skin irritation may occur if the strap is exposed to soap, sweat, allergens, or pollutants for long periods.

•

Do not wear the device too tightly. Make sure to keep the device clean and dry. Though this device has met international safety standards, some people may experience skin irritation if they are allergic to certain substances.

•

Keep in mind the followings to protect the leather strap.

–

Avoid exposing the leather strap to direct sunlight, water, and hot or humid environments. The leather strap can become discoloured or deformed.

–

The leather is permeable so it can be contaminated by oil and cosmetics. Avoid exposing the leather strap to these products.

S Health

Introduction

S Health helps you manage your wellness and fitness. Set fitness goals and regularly record and check your progress.

When the Gear is synced with a compatible S Health app, you can use additional features. The additional features include checking your heart rate logs individually, and more.

Tap

S Health

on the Apps screen. When running this app for the first time or after performing

a data reset, tap

The 24-hour activity log, Steps, Exercise, Heart rate, Water, and Caffeine trackers are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read the instructions carefully.

START

Wearing the Gear correctly

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.

<Rear>

Heart rate sensor

Applications

•

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. 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.

•

Before using this feature, pregnant women, the elderly, and young children, users suffering from conditions, such as chronic heart disease or high blood pressure, are recommended to seek the advice of a licensed medical professional.

•

If you feel dizzy, experience pain, or have difficulty breathing during exercise, stop using this feature and seek the advice of a licensed medical professional.

Be aware of following conditions before exercising in cold weather conditions:

•

Avoid using the device in cold weather. If possible, use the device indoors.

•

If the measurement is very different from the expected heart rate, rest for 30 minutes and then measure it again.
