Cleaning and managing the Galaxy Fit
Follow the points below to ensure your Galaxy Fit functions correctly and maintains its
appearance. Failure to do so may damage the Galaxy Fit and cause the skin irritation.
•
Prevent the device from being exposed to dust, sweat, ink, oil, and chemical products
such as cosmetics, antibacterial spray, hand cleaner, detergent, and insecticides. The
Galaxy Fit’s exterior and interior parts may be damaged or it could result in poor
performance. If your Galaxy Fit is exposed to any of the previously mentioned substances,
use a lint-free, soft cloth to clean it.
•
Do not use soap, cleaning agents, abrasive materials and compressed air when cleaning
your Galaxy Fit and do not clean it with the ultrasonic waves or the external heat sources.
Doing so may damage the Galaxy Fit. Skin irritation may be caused by soap, detergents
hand sanitizers, or cleaning agents left on the Galaxy Fit.
•
Clean your wrist and band after exercising or sweating. Clean the Galaxy Fit with
freshwater, wipe it with a little rubbing alcohol and dry your Galaxy Fit thoroughly.
•
When you remove sun block, lotion, or oil, use a soap-free detergent, then rinse and dry
your Galaxy Fit thoroughly.

Nickel: The Galaxy Fit contains a small amount of nickel, which is below its reference
point limited by the Europe REACH regulation. You will not be exposed to the nickel
inside the Galaxy Fit and the Galaxy Fit has passed the international certificated test.
However, if you are sensitive to nickel, be careful to use the Galaxy Fit.
•
Only the materials observed the standards of the U.S Consumer Product Safety
Commission (CPSC), the regulations of the European countries, and other international
standards are used to make a Galaxy Fit.

•
Do not store your device and some accessories (sold separately) near magnetic
fields. Magnetic stripe cards, including credit cards, phone cards, passbooks, and
boarding passes, may be damaged by magnetic fields.
•
Ensure that the band is kept clean. Contact with contaminants, such as dust and
dye, can cause stains on the band that may not be fully removed.
•
Do not insert sharp objects into the pressure vent. Inner components of the
Galaxy Fit may be damaged along with the water-resistance feature.
•
If you use the device with its glass or acrylic body broken, there may be a risk of
injury. Use the device only after it has been repaired at a Samsung Service Centre.
The pressure vent ensures that Galaxy Fit’s inner parts and sensors work correctly

•
Do not place any metal objects except for the Galaxy Fit on the wireless charger.
Battery
Charging the battery
Charge the battery before using it for the first time or when it has been unused for extended
periods.
Use only Samsung-approved chargers, batteries, and cables. Unapproved chargers or
cables can cause the battery to explode or damage the Galaxy Fit.
•
Use only wireless charger supplied with the device. The Galaxy Fit cannot be
charged properly with a third-party wireless charger.
•
Connecting the charger improperly may cause serious damage to the device. Any
damage caused by misuse is not covered by the warranty.
To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a
power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in
use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket
and be easily accessible while charging.
Getting Started

1 Connect the wireless charger to the charger and plug the charger into an electric socket.
2 Place the Galaxy Fit into the wireless charger aligning the centre of your Galaxy Fit’s back
side with the centre of the wireless charger.
3 After fully charging, disconnect the Galaxy Fit from the wireless charger. First, disconnect
the wireless charger from the charger and then unplug the charger from the electric
socket.

Battery charging tips and precautions
•
If there are obstructions between the Galaxy Fit and the wireless charger, the Galaxy Fit
may not charge properly. Prevent the Galaxy Fit and the wireless charger from coming
into contact with sweat, liquids, or dust.
•
If the battery is completely discharged, the Galaxy Fit cannot be turned on immediately
when the wireless charger is connected. Allow a depleted battery to charge for a few
minutes before turning on the Galaxy Fit.
•
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 Galaxy Fit is being charged with other devices via a multi charger, charging may
take longer.
•
While charging the Galaxy Fit’s battery, only the current time and the battery level can be
checked on the screen. However, some notifications that should be checked immediately,
such as calls, will be received.
•
If the Galaxy Fit receives an unstable power supply while charging, the touchscreen may
not function. If this happens, disconnect the Galaxy Fit from the wireless charger.
•
While charging, the Galaxy Fit may heat up. This is normal and should not affect the
Galaxy Fit’s lifespan or performance. If the battery gets hotter than usual, the charger
may stop charging for your safety. If this happens, continue charging the Galaxy Fit after
allowing it to cool down by removing it from the wireless charger.
•
If the Galaxy Fit is not charging properly, take the Galaxy Fit to a Samsung Service Centre.
•
Avoid using a bent or damaged charging cable.

recording your activity and how long you sleep.
You can view additional information and save and manage the data related to your health via
the Samsung Health app on the mobile device that is connected to your Galaxy Fit.

Samsung Health features are intended only for leisure, well-being, and fitness
purposes. They are not intended for medical use. Before using these features, read

•
The accuracy of the heart rate sensor may be diminished depending on
measurement conditions and surroundings.
•
Use the HR feature only for measuring your heart rate.
•
Do not look directly at the heart rate sensor’s lights. Doing so may impair your
vision. Make sure children do not look directly at the lights.
•
Cold ambient temperatures may affect your measurement; during winter or cold
weather, keep yourself warm when checking your heart rate.
•
Take heart rate measurements when you are seated and relaxed. Do not move your
body while taking heart rate measurements. Doing so may cause your heart rate to
be recorded inaccurately.
•
If you receive a reading that is very different from your expected heart rate, rest
and then measure again.
•
Smoking or consuming alcohol before taking measurements may cause your heart
rate to be different from your normal heart rate.
•
Do not talk, yawn, or breathe deeply while taking heart rate measurements. Doing
so may cause your heart rate to be recorded inaccurately.
•
Because the heart rate sensor uses light to approximate heart rate, its accuracy
may vary due to physical factors that affect light absorption and reflection, such as
blood circulation/blood pressure, skin condition and location and concentration of
blood vessels. In addition, if your heart rate is extremely high or low, measurements
may be inaccurate.
•
Users with thin wrists may receive inaccurate heart rate measurements when
the device is loose, causing the light to be reflected unevenly. If heart rate
measurement is not working properly, adjust the position of the device’s heart rate
sensor to the right, left, up, or down on your wrist, or turn the device so the heart
rate sensor sits firmly against the inside of your wrist.
•
If the heart rate sensor is dirty, wipe the sensor and try again. Obstructions
between the device’s band and your wrist, such as body hair, dirt, or other objects
may prevent the light from reflecting evenly. Please make sure you remove such
obstructions before use.
•
If your device becomes hot to the touch, please remove it until it cools. Exposing
skin to a hot surface of the device for a long time may cause skin burn.
