Battery charging tips and precautions
•If there are obstructions between the Gear and the wireless charger dock, the Gear may not charge properly.
•Prevent the Gear and the wireless charger from coming into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.
•If the battery is completely discharged, the Gear cannot be turned on immediately after being connected to the charger.
Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before turning on the Gear.
•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 multi-charger, charging may takelonger.
•The Gear can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
•If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, immediately
disconnect the Gear from the wireless charger dock and leave the device aside until another power connection can be found.
•While charging, the Gear may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the Gear’s lifespan or performance. If the battery feels
hot to the touch during this charging process, remove the Gear from the charger and allow it to cool down before restarting the
charging process, or call 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864) to receive technical support.
•If the Gear is not charging properly, take the Gear to a Samsung Service Center.
•Avoid using a bent or damaged USB cable.
