The device and some accessories (sold separately) contain magnets. The American
Heart Association (US) and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency
(UK) both warn that magnets can affect the operation of implanted pacemakers,
cardioverters, defibrillators, insulin pumps or other electro medical devices (collectively,
“Medical Device”) within the range of 15 cm (6 inches). If you are a user of any of
these Medical Devices, DO NOT USE THIS DEVICE AND SOME ACCESSORIES (SOLD
SEPARATELY) UNLESS YOU HAVE CONSULTED WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.
•
Do not store your device and some accessories (sold separately) near magnetic fields.
Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and boarding
passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
•
When using the speakers, such as when playing media files, do not place the Watch
close to your ears.
•
Ensure that the band is kept clean. Contact with contaminants, such as dust and dye,
can cause stains on the band that may not be fully removed.
•
Do not insert sharp objects into the Watch’s external holes. The inner components
may be damaged along with the water-resistance feature.
•
If you use the Watch with its glass body broken, there may be a risk of injury. Use the
Watch only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.
•
If dust or foreign materials enter the microphone or speaker, the Watch’s sound may
become quiet or certain features may not work. If you attempt to remove the dust or
foreign materials with a sharp object, the Watch may be damaged and its appearance
may be affected.
•
Connectivity problems and battery drain may occur in the following situations:
–
If you attach metallic stickers on the antenna area of the Watch
–
If you use a metallic band
–
If you cover the device’s antenna area with your hands or other objects while
using certain features, such as calls or the mobile data connection
•
Do not cover the light sensor area with accessories, such as stickers or a cover. Doing
so may cause the sensor to malfunction.
•
Make sure the Watch’s microphone is not obstructed when you are speaking into it.
•
The pressure vent ensures that Watch’s inner parts and sensors work correctly when
you use the Watch in environment where the atmospheric pressure changes.

•
You cannot charge your Watch with the wireless charging pad/device that functions
as a wireless charging pad after connecting the D-Buckle Sport Band to your Watch
due to its structure.
•
The location of the wireless charging coil may vary by device model. Adjust the
device or Watch to connect with each other properly.
•
Some features that work while wearing the Watch are not available while sharing
power.
•
To charge properly, do not move or use the device that functions as a wireless
charging pad or Watch while charging.
•
The power charged to your Watch may be less than the amount shared to it by the
device that functions as a wireless charging pad.
•
If you charge the Watch while charging the device that functions as a wireless

properly, depending on the charger type.
•
The charging speed or efficiency may vary depending on the condition of the device
that functions as a wireless charging pad or the surrounding environment.
•
If the remaining battery power of the device that functions as a wireless charging
pad drops below a certain level, power sharing will stop.
Battery charging tips and precautions
Use only Samsung-approved charger and cable specifically designed for your Watch.
Incompatible charger and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to your device.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
•
Use only wireless charger supplied with the device. The Watch cannot be charged
properly with a third-party wireless charger.
•
If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the Watch may be
damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.

Getting started
15
•
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and easily accessible while charging.
•
The Watch has a built-in wireless charging coil. You can charge the battery by using
a wireless charging pad. However, you cannot charge your Watch with the wireless
charging pad/device that functions as a wireless charging pad after connecting the
D-Buckle Sport Band to your Watch due to its structure. Also, the wireless charging
pad is sold separately. For more information about available wireless charging pads,
refer to the Samsung website.
•
When using a charger, it is recommended to use an approved charger that
guarantees the charging performance.
•
If there are obstructions between the Watch and the wireless charger, it may not
charge properly. Check if there is any sweat, liquid, or dust on them before charging.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Watch cannot be turned on immediately
when the wireless charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning it on.
•
If you use multiple apps at once, network apps, or apps that need a connection to
another device, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power during a data
transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•
When connecting the wireless charger to another power source, such as a computer
or multi-charging hub, the Watch may not charge properly or it may charge more
slowly due to a lower electric current.
•
The Watch can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the
battery.
•
If the Watch’s power supply is unstable while being used and charged at the same
time, the touchscreen may not function. If this happens, disconnect the Watch from
the wireless charger.
•
While charging, the Watch may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
Watch’s lifespan or performance. Before wearing the Watch, allow it to cool down for
a while before using it. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger may stop
charging.
•
If the Watch is not charging properly, visit a Samsung Service Centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger cable is
damaged, stop using it.

Band tips and precautions
•
For accurate measurement, you have to wear the Watch so that it fits your wrist. After
measuring, loosen the band to allow air to reach your skin. It is recommended to wear
the Watch so that it is not too loose or tight, and that it feels comfortable in normal
circumstances.
•
When you wear the Watch for a long time or do a high-intensity exercise while wearing
it, skin irritation may occur due to certain factors, such as friction, pressure, or moisture. If
you have been wearing your Watch for a long time, remove it from your wrist for a while
to keep your skin healthy and allow your wrist to rest.
•
Skin irritation may occur due to an allergy, environment factors, other factors, or when
your skin is exposed to soap or sweat for long periods. In this case, stop using your Watch
immediately and wait 2 or 3 days for the symptoms to ease. If the symptoms persist or
worsen, call your doctor.
•
Make sure your skin is dry before wearing your Watch. If you wear a wet Watch for a long
time, your skin may be affected.
•
If you use your Watch in the water, remove foreign materials from your skin and Watch
and dry them thoroughly to prevent the skin irritation.
•
Do not use any accessories except the Watch in the water.
