Caution: situations that could cause damage to your device or other equipment
Note: notes, usage tips, or additional information
Maintaining water and dust resistance
The device may be damaged if water or dust enters the device. Follow these tips carefully to
prevent damage to the device and to maintain the water- and dust-resistant performance of
the device.
•
Do not immerse the device in water deeper than 1 m and keep it submerged for more
than 30 minutes.
•
Do not expose the device to water moving with force, such as water running from a tap,
ocean waves, or waterfalls.
•
If the device or your hands are wet, dry them thoroughly before handling the device.
•
The rubber seal fitted to the SIM card cover is an important component of the device.
Take care when opening and closing the SIM card cover to avoid damaging the rubber
seal. Also, ensure that the rubber seal is free from debris, such as sand or dust to prevent
damage to the device.
•
If the device is exposed to freshwater, dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. If the
device is exposed to any liquid other than freshwater, rinse the device with freshwater
immediately and dry it thoroughly with a clean, soft cloth. Failure to rinse the device
in freshwater and dry it as instructed may cause the device to suffer from operability
or cosmetic issues.
•
If the device is dropped or receives an impact, the water-and dust-resistant features of
the device may be damaged.

•
If the device has been immersed in water or the microphone or the speaker is wet,
sound may not be heard clearly during a call. Ensure that the microphone or the speaker
is clean and dry by wiping it with a dry cloth.
•
The touchscreen and other features may not work properly if the device is used in water
or in other liquids.
•
Your device has been tested in a controlled environment and certified to be water-
and dust-resistant in specific situations (meets requirements of classification IP67 as
described by the international standard IEC 60529 - Degrees of Protection provided
by Enclosures [IP Code]; test conditions: 15 - 35°C, 86 - 106 kPa, 1 metre, 30 minutes).
Despite this classification, your device is not impervious to water damage in any
situation.
Overheat precautions
To avoid device malfunction, skin discomfort or damage, and battery draining, an initial
warning will appear on the device if it reaches a specific temperature. If the device
temperature continues to rise, a second warning will appear, at which time all calls and device
functions will be disabled until the device cools down to a specific temperature, except for
outgoing emergency calls.
If you are on an emergency call when the second warning appears, the call will remain active
until terminated. If the device temperature rises further, a third warning will appear; at this
time, the entire device will shut down. Any emergency call that is connected at the time will
remain active until you terminate the call. However, no new calls, including emergency calls,
may be made until device cools down to a specific temperature.
If you feel discomfort while using the device, stop using it and remove it from your wrist.

cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Gear.
•

when the charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the Gear.
•
The charging dock provided with the Gear is used for charging the Gears battery.
Take care not to lose the dock.
•
Before charging the battery ensure that the charging terminals of the Gear and the

After fully charging, disconnect the Gear from the charging dock. Then, disconnect the
charging dock from the USB cable and unplug the USB power adapter from the electric
socket.
