Getting started
Introduction
Your SmartWatch 3 accessory, which is powered by Android Wear, organises your
information, suggests what you need, and shows it to you before you even ask. Use it
to receive and reply to messages, view appointment notifications, and glance at
weather updates – all from the convenience of your wrist. There’s no need to reach
for a phone or tablet as long as a Bluetooth®connection has been established with
your SmartWatch 3.
Using voice commands, you can ask questions like “When is my next meeting?” or
“How do I get to the train station?” and get answers immediately. You can also use
the SmartWatch 3 to keep track of your daily step count. To extend functionality, you
can download new apps from Google Play™ as well as updates to existing apps. You
get automatic notifications when such updates are available.
The SmartWatch 3 works with any Android™ smartphone or tablet running Android™
version 4.3 or higher. To see if your Android™ device is compatible for use with
Android wear, go to http://g.co/WearCheck from your phone or tablet.
For optimal performance and functionality, use the SmartWatch 3 together with the wristband
provided.

Android Wear application
Android Wear on your phone or tablet
When the Android Wear application is installed on your phone or tablet, you can
customise the settings for your SmartWatch 3.
To open the Android Wear application
•From the main application screen on your Android™ phone or tablet, find and
tap Android Wear.
Selecting applications for voice actions
You can select the applications that you want to use together with voice commands,
that is, you can associate specific applications with specific voice-triggered actions.
For example, you can select which map application to use for navigation if you have
two map applications installed on your phone or tablet and they both work with
Android Wear. If only one application is available for a particular type of voice action,
that application gets associated by default with the action.
To associate an application with a voice action
1Open the Android Wear application on your Android™ phone or tablet.
2Tap to select an action from the list of Voice actions. If an application is already
associated with the voice action, it appears when you tap on the action.
3If more than one application option appears, select your preferred application.
If no application name appears when you tap on a voice action, this voice action is not
available. You may need to install a compatible application separately, for example, from the
list of suggested applications.
Installing suggested applications
You can browse and install applications that Android Wear suggests for you, for
example, Google Keep or some third-party applications that add functionality and
allow you to do more with your SmartWatch 3.
To install a suggested application
1Open the Android Wear application on your Android™ phone or tablet, then
scroll down and tap Browse suggested apps. The Google Play™ application
opens and a selection of suggested applications that work with Android Wear

screen instructions to install it.

reconnect it at a later time. Once the SmartWatch 3 and your phone or tablet have

subsequent reconnection only requires a tap of your finger.
The Bluetooth®function must be turned on for the functionality described here to work.
