Battery charging tips and precautions
Use only Samsung-approved charger and cable specifically designed foryour
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 Watch. The Watch cannot be charged
properly with a third-party wireless charger.
•
If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the device may be
damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.

Getting started
16
•
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. 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 because of 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 touch screen may not be responsive. 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, take the Watch and the wireless charger to
a Samsung Service Centre or an authorised service centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger
cable is damaged, stop using it.

Putting on the Watch
Open the buckle and place your Watch around yourwrist. Fit the band to yourwrist,
insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band
is too tight, use the next hole.
Do not bend the band excessively. Doing so may damage the Watch.
•
To measure your physical condition accurately, wear the Watch firmly around
your lower arm above the wrist. Refer to How to wear the Watch for accurate
measurements for more information.
•
When certain materials come into contact with the back of the Watch, your
Watch may recognise that you are wearing it on your wrist depending on the
type of material.
•
If the sensors on the back of your Watch do not come into contact with yourwrist
for more than 10 minutes, your Watch may recognise that you are not wearing it
on yourwrist.
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 because of 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 yourwrist to rest.
•
Skin irritation may occur because of an allergy, environment factors, other factors,
orwhen 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 orworsen, call your doctor.
•
Make sure your skin is dry before wearing yourWatch. 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.

•
If you fasten the Watch too tightly, skin irritation may occur, and if you fasten it
too loosely, friction may occur.
•
Do not look directly at the optical heart rate sensor’s lights. Make sure children
do not look directly at the lights. Doing so may impairyour vision.
•
If the Watch becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing your
skin to the Watch’s hot surface for a long time may cause low-temperature
burns.
•
Remove all water from yourWatch and the band before measuring your body
composition and ECG.
•
If any water, dust, or stains are on the infrared temperature sensor, the
measurements may be inaccurate.
•
Clean the infrared temperature sensorwith a soft cloth or cotton bud.
