Battery charging tips and precautions

• 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 the Watch 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 you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the Watch may be damaged. Thoroughly dry the wireless charger before charging the Watch.
• 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.

Wearing the Watch

Connecting the band

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

• The supplied band may vary depending on the region or model.

2 Slide the spring bar inwards and connect the band.

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, 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.

• 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 around your lower arm above the wrist.
• If heart rate measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s optical heart rate sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or wear the device 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 sensor and try again. If foreign materials prevent the light from reflecting evenly, the measurement may not accurate.
• The signal may be affected by 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.
