Battery charging tips and precautions
•
If there is sweat or liquid on the charging terminals, corrosion may occur on the terminals.
Clean the terminals before charging the battery.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Gear cannot be turned on immediately when
the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few minutes before
turning on the Gear.
•
If you use multiple apps at once, the battery will drain quickly. To avoid losing power
during a data transfer, always use these apps after fully charging the battery.
•
Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower
charging speed due to a lower electric current.
•
If the Gear is being charged with other devices via a multicharger, charging may take
longer.
•
If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may not
function. If this happens, disconnect the Gear from the charger dock.
•
While charging, the Gear 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 is not charging properly, take the Gear to a Samsung Service Centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged charging cable.
