Welcome to your new Galaxy Ring, an innovative device designed to enhance your daily life by seamlessly integrating health and connectivity. This section will guide you through the initial steps to adjust, connect, and start using your Galaxy Ring effectively.
Adjusting your Galaxy Ring for optimal comfort
To ensure both comfort and accuracy, wear your Galaxy Ring with the orientation indicator facing the palm of your hand. Select a finger where the ring fits snugly without being too tight (this avoids discomfort and ensures the ring does not slip off). An optimal fit is crucial as it allows the sensors to function effectively and gather accurate data.
Connecting your Galaxy Ring to your mobile device using Bluetooth
Before attempting to connect your Galaxy Ring, ensure that it is fully charged. Place the Ring in its charging case; if the battery status indicator does not light up, connect the case to a power source and charge for at least 10 minutes. While the Ring is charging, ensure that the latest version of the Galaxy Wearable app is installed on your mobile device. You can download or update this app via the Samsung Galaxy Store.
Step 1. Open your Galaxy Ring's charging case and press and hold the Multipurpose button for at least 3 seconds.
Step 2. When a notification appears on your mobile device, tap Connect to establish the connection with your Galaxy Ring.
Step 3. Tap Pair to confirm the Bluetooth pairing request with your Galaxy Ring.
Step 4. Review the permissions required by the app and read the user guide. Then, tap Next to complete the setup and start using your Galaxy Ring.
Notes:
- You can also pair your Galaxy Ring by navigating to Settings > Connections > Bluetooth on your mobile device.
- Alternatively, you can pair your Galaxy Ring using the Galaxy Wearable app on your connected mobile device.
The Galaxy Ring offers several charging options, including wired, wireless, and wireless power sharing. To ensure your Ring charges properly, place it inside its case. If the battery status indicator on the inner band does not illuminate, connect the case to a power source and charge for at least 10 minutes. It’s important to align the orientation indicator of the Ring with the marker on the case’s support before positioning it for charging.
Checking the battery charge level
