Properly charge the Galaxy XR

The Galaxy XR does not support charging through the USB-C port. Always use the designated battery pack for charging.

To charge your battery pack and power the headset:

  1. Plug one end of the USB-C charging cable into the battery pack and the other end into the wall charger. Then, connect the wall charger to a power source.
    Note: The indicator light will show the charging status. If the indicator light flashes, disconnect and reconnect the cable. Ensure it's properly connected to both the battery pack and the wall charger.
  2. Next, insert the power cable into the battery pack, and then connect the other end of the cable to the power connector on the headset until it clicks.

You can charge the battery pack while using the headset. Just connect the battery pack to the wall charger with the USB-C cable, and plug it into a wall outlet. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery pack from the charger and unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
