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.

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 or an authorized service center.
Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless charger cable is damaged, stop using it.

Wearing the Watch

Connecting the band

Connect the band before using your Watch. You can detach the band from the Watch and replace it with a new one. Remove the band in the reverse order of how you connected it.

Be careful not to hurt your fingernail when sliding the spring bar while connecting or replacing bands.

The supplied band may vary depending on the region or model.
The supplied band’s size may vary depending on the model. Use the proper band which fits your model’s size.

Insert one end of the band’s spring bar into the Watch’s lug.
Slide the spring bar inwards and connect the band.

Putting on the Watch

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 recognize that you are wearing it on your wrist.
If the sensors on the back of your Watch do not come into contact with your wrist for more than 10 minutes, your Watch may recognize that you are not wearing it on your wrist.

► When connecting the D-Buckle Sport Band (only for models that include this band):

Open the buckle.

Do not use excessive force when opening the buckle. Be careful when handling it because the buckle may be deformed and it may affect wearing the band.
Open the lever, insert the band into the buckle’s hole, adjust the band, and then close the lever.
To open the lever after inserting the band, pull the band downwards.
Place your Watch around your wrist and secure the buckle.

► When connecting other bands:
Open the buckle and place your Watch around your wrist. Fit the band to your wrist, insert the pin into an adjustment hole, and then secure the buckle to close it. If the band is too tight on your wrist, use the hole one further out.

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.

How to wear the Watch for accurate measurements

For accurate measurements, wear the Watch firmly around your lower arm above the wrist while leaving a finger’s worth of space as shown in the figure below.

If you fasten the Watch too tightly, the 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 impair your vision.
If the Watch becomes hot to the touch, remove it until it cools. Exposing your skin to a hot surface of the Watch for a long time may cause low temperature burns.
Remove all water from your Watch 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 sensor with a soft cloth or cotton bud.

Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate. The accuracy of the optical heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on measurement conditions and surroundings.
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
Do not move, talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
If your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements may be inaccurate.
If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not accurate.
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. In this case, wear the Watch on your inner arm.
If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the Watch’s optical heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the Watch on your inner arm so that the sensor is in contact with your skin.
If the optical heart rate sensor and the electrical biosensors are dirty, wipe the sensors and try again. If foreign materials prevent the light from reflecting evenly, the measurement may not accurate.
The optical heart rate sensor may be affected by tattoos, marks, and hair on the wrist you wear your Watch on. These may cause your Watch not to recognize that you are wearing it, and the Watch’s features may not work properly. Therefore, wear your Watch on a wrist that does not interfere with the Watch’s features.
The measurement features may not work properly due to certain factors, such as the light from the optical heart rate sensor being blocked, depending on your skin brightness, blood flow under your skin, and the cleanliness of the sensor area.
For accurate measurements, use the Ridge sport band. The Ridge sport band may be sold separately depending on the model.

Notes on package contents and accessories

Refer to the quick start guide for package contents.

The items supplied with the Watch and any available accessories may vary depending on the region or service provider.
The supplied items are designed only for this Watch and may not be compatible with other devices.
Appearances and specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
You can purchase additional accessories from your local Samsung retailer. Make sure they are compatible with the Watch before purchase.
Except for the Watch, some supplied items and accessories may not have the same water and dust-resistance certification.
Use only Samsung-approved accessories. Using unapproved accessories may cause the performance problems and malfunctions that are not covered by the warranty.
Availability of all accessories is subject to change depending entirely on manufacturing companies. For more information about available accessories, refer to the Samsung website.

Maintaining the device’s water and dust resistance

This device is water and dust resistant, and meets the following international standards.
– 5ATM water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging the device in 50 m of fresh water for 10 minutes, leaving it still, without any movement, to meet the requirements of ISO 22810:2010.
– IPX8 water resistance classification certification: Was tested by submerging the device in 1.5 m of fresh water for 30 minutes, leaving it still, without any movement, to meet the requirements of IEC 60529.
– IP6X dust resistance classification certification: Was tested to meet the requirements of IEC 60529.
You can use this device when you are exercising, washing your hands or on a rainy day.
You can use this device when you are swimming in a pool or the sea where the water level is not deep.
The water resistance of your Galaxy device is not permanent and may diminish over time. We recommend that you have your Galaxy device’s water resistance tested once a year at a Samsung Service Centre or an authorized service center.
You must follow the guidelines below to maintain the water and dust resistance of your device.
– After swimming, and before the pool water or seawater has dried, rinse the device with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its water resistance. The water resistance may be affected by the disinfectants in swimming pool water or the salt in seawater.
– If the device gets wet with liquid other than fresh water, such as coffee, drinks, soapy water, oil, perfume, sunscreen, hand sanitizer, or chemical products like cosmetics, rinse the device with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft, clean cloth to maintain its water resistance.
– Do not stay submerged underwater, go snorkeling, diving or scuba diving, or play water sports like water-skiing or surfing, and do not swim in fast-moving water, such as a river, while wearing your device. Also, do not expose it to high-pressure cleaning machines or similar things. This would result in a dramatic rise in water pressure which could cause the water resistance guaranteed by our company to change.
– If the device is hit or damaged, its water and dust resistance may be compromised.
– Do not disassemble your device without proper guidance.
– If you dry your device with a machine that gives off hot air, like a hair dryer, or if you use your device in a hot environment like a sauna, the water resistance could be damaged from a dramatic change in the air or water temperature.

Precautions for overheating

If you feel discomfort due to overheating while using the device, stop using it immediately and remove it from your wrist.
To avoid problems, such as device malfunction, skin discomfort or damage, and battery draining, a warning will appear on the device if it reaches a specific temperature. When the initial warning appears, device functions will be disabled until the device cools down to a specific temperature. However, the emergency call feature will be available on the LTE model.
If the device temperature continues to increase, a second warning will appear. At this time, the device will shut down. Do not use the device until it cools down to a specific temperature. However, when using the LTE model, the emergency call feature that has been previously connected will remain active until you are finished, even though the second warning will appear.

Cleaning and managing the Watch

Follow the points below to ensure your Watch functions correctly and maintains its appearance. Failure to do so may damage the Watch and cause the skin irritation.

Turn off the Watch and remove the band before cleaning it.
Prevent the device from being exposed to dust, sweat, ink, oil, and chemical products such as cosmetics, antibacterial spray, hand cleaner, detergent, and insecticides.
The Watch’s exterior and interior parts may be damaged or it could result in poor performance. If your Watch is exposed to any of the previously mentioned substances, use a lint-free, soft cloth to clean it.
Do not use soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials and compressed air when cleaning your Watch and do not clean it with the ultrasonic waves or the external heat sources. Doing so may damage the Watch. Skin irritation may be caused by soap, detergents, hand sanitizers, or cleaning agents left on the Watch.
When you remove sun block, lotion, or oil, use a soap-free detergent, then rinse and dry your Watch thoroughly.

The supplied band may vary depending on the region or model. Be sure to properly clean and maintain your band accordingly

Use caution if you are allergic to any materials on the Watch

Samsung has tested the noxious materials found on the Watch through the internal and external certificate authorities, including the test for all materials which contact with skin, skin toxicity test, and the Watch-wearing test.
The Watch includes nickel. Take the necessary precautions if your skin is hypersensitive or you have an allergy to any materials found on the Watch.
– Nickel: The Watch contains a small amount of nickel, which is below its reference point limited by the Europe REACH regulation. You will not be exposed to the nickel inside the Watch and the Watch has passed the international certificated test. However, if you are sensitive to nickel, be careful to use the Watch.
Only the materials observed the standards of the U.S Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), the regulations of the European countries, and other international standards are used to make a Watch.
For more information about how Samsung manages chemicals, refer to the Samsung website (https://www.samsung.com/uk/aboutsamsung/sustainability/environment/, https://www.samsung.com/au/support/newsalert/119791/).
