Getting Started

Connecting the Gear to a new mobile device

When you connect the Gear to your new mobile device, on-screen instructions will ask you to reset the Gear. Make sure you back up any important data stored in your Gear before connecting your Gear to a new mobile device. For more information about backing up your Gear, refer to Backing up and restoring data.

1 On your Gear, open the Apps screen, tap (Settings) →Connect to new phone →.

The connection between your Gear and your mobile device will end. After a light reset, it will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode.

2 On your new mobile device, launch Samsung Gear to connect to your Gear.

If the mobile device you want to connect to is already connected to another Gear, your Gear cannot establish a connection. Disconnect your mobile device from the previous Gear to connect to your current Gear.

Remote connection

Your Gear and mobile device are connected via Bluetooth. When a Bluetooth connection is not available, you can remotely connect the Gear to your mobile device by using your Samsung account via Wi-Fi network. This allows you to continue receiving notifications from your mobile device.

This feature is automatically activated when you connect to your mobile device via Bluetooth for the first time.

If this feature is not turned on, launch Samsung Gear on your mobile device, tap SETTINGS

→Gear connection, and then tap the Remote connection switch.
