•
If the device is exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to other liquids, such as salt water, swimming pool water, soapy water,
oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand cleaner, or chemical products such as cosmetics, rinse it
with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If you do not follow these
instructions, the device’s performance and appearance may be affected.
•
Do not disassemble your device. The water- and dust-resistant features of the device can
be damaged.
•

Precautions for overheating
If you feel discomfort due to overheating while using the device, stop using it immediately
and remove it from your wrist.
To avoid problems, such as device malfunction, skin discomfort or damage, and battery
draining, a warning will appear on the device if it reaches a specific temperature. When the
initial warning appears, device functions will be disabled until the device cools down to a
specific temperature. However, the emergency call feature will be available on the LTE model.
If the device temperature continues to increase, a second warning will appear. At this time,
the device will shut down. Do not use the device until it cools down to a specific temperature.
However, when using the LTE model, the emergency call feature that has been previously
connected will remain active until you are finished, even though the second warning will
appear.

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 battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your

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 easily accessible while charging.
•
The Galaxy Watch3 has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery
by using a wireless charging pad. The wireless charging pad is sold separately. For
more information about available wireless charging pads, refer to the Samsung

Battery charging tips and precautions
•
If there are obstructions between the Galaxy Watch3 and the wireless charger, the Galaxy
Watch3 may not charge properly. Prevent the Galaxy Watch3 and the wireless charger
from coming into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.
•

charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
If the Galaxy Watch3 is being charged with other devices via a multi charger, charging
may take longer.
•
The Galaxy Watch3 can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge
the battery.

may not function. If this happens, disconnect the Galaxy Watch3 from the wireless
charger.
•
While charging, the Galaxy Watch3 may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
Galaxy Watch3’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging for your safety. If this happens, continue charging the Galaxy Watch3
after allowing it to cool down by removing it from the wireless charger.
•
If you charge the Galaxy Watch3 while the wireless charger is wet, the Galaxy Watch3 may
be damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Galaxy Watch3.
•
If the Galaxy Watch3 is not charging properly, take the Galaxy Watch3 to a Samsung
Service Centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger cable is
damaged, stop using it.

Wearing the Galaxy Watch3 correctly
•
When you activate the auto heart rate tracking feature, or when you start to use the
exercise features, the Galaxy Watch3 will automatically track your heart rate. When
measuring your heart rate, wear the Galaxy Watch3 snugly on your arm above your wrist
as shown in the figure below.

Optical heart rate sensor
•
If you fasten the Galaxy Watch3 too tightly, the skin irritation may occur and if you fasten
it too loosely, friction may occur.
•
Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair
your vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
If your Galaxy Watch3 becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools.
Exposing skin to a hot surface of the Galaxy Watch3 for a long time may cause skin
burn.

Getting Started
•
The accuracy of the optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on
measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
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.
•
The signal may be affected by your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin,
and the cleanliness of the sensor area. 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 optical
heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the device on
your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
•
If the optical heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as dirt or other objects may
prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Galaxy Watch3, use the Ridge
sport band. The Ridge sport band is sold separately.
