Reducing the battery consumption
Your Gear provides various options that help you conserve battery power.
• When you are not using the Gear, switch to sleep mode by covering the screen with your 
palm.
• Activate power saving mode.
• Deactivate the Bluetooth feature when not in use.
• Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature when not in use.
• Decrease the screen brightness.
• Deactivate the watch always on feature.
• Customise the notification settings in Samsung Gear on the mobile device.
Battery charging tips and precautions
• If there is sweat or liquid on the charging terminals, corrosion may occur on the terminals. 
Clean the terminals before charging the battery.
• If the battery is completely discharged, the Gear cannot be turned on immediately when 
the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before 
turning on the Gear.
• If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power 
during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
• Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower 
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
• If the Gear is being charged with other devices via a multicharger, charging may take 
longer.
• If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not 
function. If this happens, disconnect the Gear from the charger dock.
• While charging, the Gear may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the Gear’s 
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.

Wearing the Gear
Putting on the Gear
Open the clasp and place the Gear around your wrist. Fit the strap to your wrist and then 
insert the pin into an adjustment hole.
Do not bend the strap excessively. Doing so may damage the Gear.
• To measure your heart rate more accurately with the Gear, wear the Gear firmly 
around your lower arm just above the wrist. Refer to Wearing the Gear correctly for 
details.
• To have the strap replaced, visit a Samsung Service Centre.
Strap tips and precautions
• Be cautious when wearing the Gear. If you have sensitive skin or fasten the Gear too 
tightly, you may feel some discomfort.
• Some people may experience discomfort when wearing the Gear for prolonged periods.
• Skin irritation may occur if the strap is exposed to soap, sweat, allergens, or pollutants for 
long periods.
• Do not wear the Gear too tightly. Make sure to keep the device clean and dry. Though this 
device has met international safety standards, some people may experience skin irritation 
if they are allergic to certain substances.
