Please read this manual before using the Gear S
to ensure safe and proper use.
• Descriptions are based on the Gear S default
settings.
• Some content may differ, depending on the
region, service provider, or device’s software.
• Content that requires high CPU and RAM
usage will affect the overall performance of
the device. Apps related to the content may
not work properly depending on the device’s
specications and the environment that it is
used in.
• Samsung is not liable for performance issues
caused by apps supplied by providers other
than Samsung.
• Samsung is not liable for performance issues
or incompatibilities caused by edited registry
settings or modied operating system software.
Attempting to customize the operating system
may cause the Gear S or apps to work
improperly.
• Software, sound sources, wallpapers, images,
and other media provided with this Gear S
are licensed for limited use. Extracting and
using these materials for commercial or other
purposes is an infringement of copyright laws.
Users are entirely responsible for illegal use of
media.

• You may incur additional charges for data
services, such as messaging, uploading and
downloading, auto-syncing, or using location
services depending on your data plan. For
large data transfers, it is recommended to use
the Wi-Fi feature.
• Default apps that come with the Gear S are
subject to updates and may no longer be
supported without prior notice. If you have
questions about an app provided with the
Gear S, contact a Samsung Service Center.
For user-installed apps, contact service
providers.
• Modifying the Gear S operating system or
installing softwares from unofcial sources
may result in Gear S malfunctions and data
corruption or loss. These actions are violations
of your Samsung license agreement and will
void your warranty.
• The actual available capacity of the internal
memory is less than the specied capacity
because the operating system and default
applications occupy part of the memory. The
available capacity may change when you
upgrade the device.
