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.
14
Getting started
· 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.

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
authorised service centre.
· Avoid using a bent or damaged wireless charger cable. If the wireless
charger cable is damaged, stop using it.

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.
Electrical biosensors
Infrared temperature sensor
Electrical biosensors
Optical heart rate sensor
· 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.
21
Getting started
· 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 recognise 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.

professional body composition measuring instruments, the Watch, which has to
be worn your wrist, measures the upper body’s composition and estimates your
entire body’s composition to provide the results. Therefore the measured body
composition results may be inaccurate in the following cases: when your upper
and lower body’s composition is too unbalanced, when you are extremely obese,
or when you have a very large amount of muscles.

Apps and features · The Watch uses the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
method when measuring body composition, which has more than 98% correlation
compared to the Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) method, which is
regarded as the golden standard.
Be aware of following conditions before measuring your body composition: · If
you are an individual under the age of 20, the results may not be accurate
when you measure your body composition. · You can get more accurate body
composition results if you follow the following measurement conditions:
Measuring at the same time of the day (recommended to measure in the morning)
Measuring on an empty stomach Measuring after going to the bathroom
Measuring when you are not having your menstrual period Measuring before
doing activities that cause your body temperature to rise, such as exercising,
taking showers, or going to the sauna. Measuring after removing metal
