Samsung Knox

Note: If any liquid is found to have entered your device
components or an internally sealed system, this
condition will void your device warranty.

Samsung Knox is Samsung’s security platform and is
a mark for a Samsung device tested for security with
enterprise use in mind. Additional licensing fee may be
required. For more information about Knox, please refer
to: samsung.com/us/knox

Follow these tips carefully to prevent damage to the
device.
• Any device which uses accessible compartments or
ports that can be opened, should have these sealed
or closed tightly to prevent liquid from entering the
system.

Maintaining Water and Dust
Resistance
This device is rated IP68 using the Ingress Protection
rating system.

• Whenever your device gets wet, dry it thoroughly
with a clean, soft cloth. If your device has gotten wet,
you should dry the inside of the charging port before
inserting a power connector to charge your device.
If the charging port is not fully dry, your device may
operate abnormally. For example, it may charge more
slowly or overheat.

Your device has been tested in a controlled
environment and shown to be water and dust resistant
in certain circumstances (meets requirements of
classification IP68 as described by the international
standard IEC 60529 – Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15-35°C,
86-106 kPa, 5.0 feet, for 30 minutes). Despite this
classification, your device is not impervious to water
damage in any situation. It is important that all
compartments are closed tightly.
Legal

• Do not expose the device to salt water or ionized
water, or to water over 5.0 feet deep for more than 30
minutes. If your device is exposed to fresh water, dry
it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the device is
iv

Restricting Children’s Access to Your
Mobile Device

exposed to any liquid other than fresh water, rinse
the device with fresh water immediately and dry it
thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the
device in fresh water and dry it as instructed may cause
the device to suffer from operability or cosmetic issues.

Your device is not a toy. Do not allow children to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and
others, damage the device, or make calls that increase
your device bill. Keep the device and all its parts and
accessories out of the reach of small children.

• Do not expose the device to water at high pressure.
• If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the
water and dust resistant features of the device may
be damaged.

• To maintain the water-resistant and dust-resistant
features of your device, if an S Pen is available for use,
verify it is securely inserted prior to any exposure to
liquids.

certain colors to indicate the battery level.

•

Color and Charge Status

•
•
•
•

Red > Green > Orange: Standby mode

•

Red: Charging.
Green: Fully charged
Orange: Connected to a low-charger head

•

Note: When a wireless charger dock error occurs, the
LED indicator flashes red. Disconnect the Gear from the
wireless charger dock, and then reconnect. If the error
occurs again, contact a Samsung Service Center for
service support.

Getting Started

•

If the battery is completely discharged, the Gear
cannot be turned on immediately after being
connected to the charger. 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 using
a multi-charger, charging may take longer.

Assemble Your Gear

•
•

Strap Tips and Precautions

The Gear can be used while it is charging, but it may
take longer to fully charge the battery.

•

If the Gear receives an unstable power supply while
charging, the touchscreen may not function. If this
happens, immediately disconnect the Gear from the
wireless charger dock and leave the device aside
until another power connection can be found.

Before You Start Exercising
Although the S Health application is a great companion
to your exercise routine, it is always best to make sure
you consult with your physician before beginning any
exercise regimen. While moderate physical activity,
such as brisk walking, is safe for most people, health
experts suggest that you talk with your doctor before
you start an exercise program, particularly if you have
any of the following conditions:

•

Ankle swelling, especially at night;
A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;
Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that
goes away when you rest.

It is recommended that before engaging in an exercise
routine, you consult with your doctor or medical
practitioner. If you are unsure of your health status,
have several health problems, or are pregnant, you
should speak with your doctor before starting a new
exercise program.

Heart disease; Asthma or lung disease; Diabetes, or
liver or kidney disease; and Arthritis.

To measure your heart rate more accurately with the
Gear, wear the Gear firmly around your lower arm just
above the wrist.

Before beginning your exercise regimen check with
your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart,
lung, or other serious disease, such as:

•

Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or
when lying down or going to bed;

Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms
during physical activity;
Dizziness or loss of consciousness;
