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 Watch. The Watch cannot be charged
properly with a third-party wireless charger.
• If you charge the Watch while the wireless charger is wet, the device 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. 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 because of 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 touch screen may not be responsive. 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, take the Watch and the wireless charger to
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.

Using power saving mode
Turn on power saving mode to extend the battery’s usage time.
Open the quick panel by dragging downwards from the top edge of the screen and tap
to turn the feature on. Alternatively, on the Apps screen, tap (Settings) → Battery
and device care → Battery and tap the Power saving switch to turn it on.
Power saving mode will be turned on and some features can be restricted.
If the battery power drops below a certain level, the power saving screen will

will be turned off automatically when your Watch’s battery is charged more than
15%. However, if you turn on power saving mode from the Settings menu or quick
panel, power saving mode will not be turned off automatically, even if your Watch’s
battery is charged to more than 15%.
Wearing the Watch
Attaching and removing the band
Attach the band before using your Watch. You can detach the band from the Watch and
replace it with a new one.
Be careful not to hurt your fingernail when attaching 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.

Attach the band to your Watch while pressing the band’s button firmly.
2 Gently pull on both sides of the band to make sure it is tightly connected and not
detached from your Watch.
Remove the band while pressing the band’s button.

Putting on the Watch
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, use the next hole.
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 recognise that you are wearing it on your wrist depending on the
type of material.
• 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 recognise that you are not wearing it
on your wrist.
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 because of 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 because of 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.

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 the Watch’s hot surface 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 the surroundings,
measurement conditions, and user’s physiological state.
• As cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement, keep yourself
warm when checking your heart rate during winter or cold weather.
• 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, the measurement may not be
accurate.
• If measuring children’s heart rates, the measurement may not be accurate.
• Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when
the Watch 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 be 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 because of 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.
