or features are running simultaneously.
Note: During charging, the
Gear S 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 S is not
charging properly, contact a Samsung
Service Center.
Charging the Battery
Before using your Gear S for the rst time,
charge the battery. You can charge the Gear S by
connecting it to the charging dock and plugging
the USB charger into an outlet, or by connecting
it to a computer with an optional USB cable (not

If the battery is completely depleted, you won’t
be able to turn the Gear S on immediately. Allow
a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes
before turning on the Gear S.
Using Gear S during charging may cause the
battery to charge more slowly.
Caution: Use only charging devices
and batteries approved by Samsung.
Samsung accessories are designed for
your device to maximize battery life.
