Please read this manual before using the Gear S

to ensure safe and proper use.

• Descriptions are based on the Gear S default

settings.

• Some content may differ, depending on the

region, service provider, or device’s software.

• Content that requires high CPU and RAM

usage will affect the overall performance of

the device. Apps related to the content may

not work properly depending on the device’s

specications and the environment that it is

used in.

• Samsung is not liable for performance issues

caused by apps supplied by providers other

than Samsung.

• Samsung is not liable for performance issues

or incompatibilities caused by edited registry

settings or modied operating system software.

Attempting to customize the operating system

may cause the Gear S or apps to work

improperly.

• Software, sound sources, wallpapers, images,

and other media provided with this Gear S

are licensed for limited use. Extracting and

using these materials for commercial or other

purposes is an infringement of copyright laws.

Users are entirely responsible for illegal use of

media.

• You may incur additional charges for data

services, such as messaging, uploading and

downloading, auto-syncing, or using location

services depending on your data plan. For

large data transfers, it is recommended to use

the Wi-Fi feature.

• Default apps that come with the Gear S are

subject to updates and may no longer be

supported without prior notice. If you have

questions about an app provided with the

Gear S, contact a Samsung Service Center.

For user-installed apps, contact service

providers.

• Modifying the Gear S operating system or

installing softwares from unofcial sources

may result in Gear S malfunctions and data

corruption or loss. These actions are violations

of your Samsung license agreement and will

void your warranty.

• The actual available capacity of the internal

memory is less than the specied capacity

because the operating system and default

applications occupy part of the memory. The

available capacity may change when you

upgrade the device.
