Battery Charging Tips and
Precautions
• 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 using
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.
