Charge your Samsung Galaxy XR headset

Caution
  • Use only the Samsung-approved charger and the USB Type-C cable provided with the battery pack.
  • Avoid charging if the connector is wet, as it may impact the headset's performance. Ensure it is completely dry before charging.
  • The USB Type-C port on the Galaxy XR is for data backup and transfer only and should not be used for charging.

Charge the battery pack

Note
If the indicator light flashes, disconnect and reconnect the cable to ensure it is properly connected to both the battery pack and the wall charger.

Before using your Samsung Galaxy XR headset, ensure the battery pack is fully charged.

  1. Connect the USB-C Cable: Plug one end of the USB-C cable into the battery pack and the other end into the wall charger.
  2. Plug into a wall outlet: Connect the wall charger to a power source. The indicator light will be red while charging and turn green when fully charged.
  3. Disconnect the charging cable: After charging is complete, disconnect the charging cable from the battery pack and unplug the wall adapter from the wall outlet.

Power your headset while wearing it

Note
  • If the battery status indicator blinks due, disconnect the power cable and try again after a short while. 
  • If the headset does not power on, disconnect and reconnect the cable.
  • When the battery pack is connected, the headset powers on automatically. If turned off while connected, it can be restarted within 2 hours by pressing and holding the Top button. After 2 hours, use the battery level check button, connect a charger, or reconnect the cable. This prevents unnecessary battery drain.
  • If the headset still does not turn on, press and hold the battery level check button on the pack for more than 7 seconds to reset the battery pack before trying again.

  1. Connect the battery pack: Insert the power cable firmly into the USB Type-C port located in the front center of the battery pack.
  2. Connect the headset: Align the other end of the cable with the power connector on the headset, then gently slide it downward until it clicks into place.

When the battery pack is running low, connect it to the wall charger using the USB-C cable. The headset will remain operational while charging. Once the battery pack is fully charged, disconnect it from the charger and unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
