periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Gear.
1 Connect the charging cable to the USB power adapter.
•
Use the supplied charger dock and charger. The Gear cannot be charged properly
with a third-party charger.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.

function. If this happens, disconnect the Gear from the charger dock.

lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop
charging.
•
If the Gear is not charging properly, take the Gear to a Samsung Service Centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged charging cable.
