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.

•

Use the supplied wireless charging 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.

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.

Plug the small end of the charger into the multipurpose jack of the wireless charging

dock and plug the large end of the charger into an electric socket.

Getting Started

Place the Gear into the wireless charging dock.

Checking the charging status

When you connect the Gear and the wireless charging dock, the wireless charging dock’s LED indicator flashes certain colours to indicate the battery level.

•

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.

Getting Started

•

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

•
