About the Battery
•
Battery operating time is affected by device
usage patterns and the condition of the battery.
•
Battery life can be reduced when multiple apps
or features are running simultaneously.
Note
: During charging, the
Gear S 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 S is not
charging properly, contact a Samsung
Service Center.
Charging the Battery
Before using your Gear S for the first time,
charge the battery. You can charge the Gear S by
connecting it to the charging dock and plugging
the USB charger into an outlet, or by connecting
it to a computer with an optional USB cable (not
included).
If the battery is completely depleted, you won’t
be able to turn the Gear S on immediately. Allow
a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes
before turning on the Gear S.
Using Gear S during charging may cause the
battery to charge more slowly.
Caution
: Use only charging devices
and batteries approved by Samsung.
Samsung accessories are designed for
your device to maximize battery life.
Using other accessories may invalidate
you warranty and may cause damage.
