Maintaining water and dust resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to
the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of the device.
●Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more than 30 minutes.
●Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap, ocean waves,
or waterfalls.
●If the device or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling the device.
●If the device is exposed to fresh water, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the device is
exposed to any liquid other than freshwater, rinse the device with fresh water immediately and dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth.
●If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water and dust resistant features of the device may
be damaged.
●If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or the speaker is wet, sound may not be
heard clearly during a call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker is clean and dry by wiping it
with a dry cloth.
●The touch screen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water or in other
liquids.
●Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and shown to be water and dust resistant in

°C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 meter, for 30 minutes). Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to

Section 1: Getting Started 8
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using the Gear for the first time. A computer can be also used to charge the
Gear™ 2 by connecting them via the USB cable.
Important! Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or cables can
cause the battery to explode or damage the Gear™ 2.
Note: When the battery power is low, the battery icon displays as empty.
If the battery is completely discharged, you cannot immediately turn on the Gear™ 2 when the charger is
connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning on the device.
The charging dock provided with the Gear™ 2 is used for charging the device’s battery.

●If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touch screen may not function. If this
happens, unplug the charger from the Gear 2™.
●While charging, the Gear 2™ may be warm. 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.

13

●The battery is a consumable item. Battery life can be reduced when multiple applications or features
are simultaneously running. Battery life may be reduced even when the device is idle.
