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

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 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.
