To switch on your Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra, you simply need to press and hold the Home/Power button located on the side of the watch until the Samsung logo appears on the screen.
Step-by-Step Guide to Power On Your Galaxy Watch Ultra
Turning on your new or powered-off Galaxy Watch Ultra is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps to get your device up and running:
- Locate the Home/Power Button: On the right side of your Galaxy Watch Ultra, you will find the Home/Power button. This is typically the bottom button if there are two, or the main physical button on the side.
- Press and Hold: Gently but firmly press and hold this Home/Power button.
- Watch for the Samsung Logo: Continue to hold the button until you see the Samsung logo appear on the watch's display. This visual cue indicates that the watch has begun its boot sequence.
- Release the Button: Once the Samsung logo is visible, you can release the button.
- Boot Up Completion: The watch will then proceed through its start-up sequence and will be ready for use, typically showing the watch face or a setup screen if it's the first time turning it on.
What to Do If Your Watch Doesn't Turn On
If your Galaxy Watch Ultra does not power on after following the steps above, consider these troubleshooting tips:
- Check Battery Level: The most common reason a device won't turn on is a depleted battery. Place your Galaxy Watch Ultra on its wireless charging pad for at least 15-30 minutes, then try turning it on again.
- Inspect for Damage: Ensure there's no visible damage to the watch or the button itself.
- Force Restart (if applicable): If the watch was already on but unresponsive, a force restart (often by holding both buttons for an extended period) might be necessary. However, for a completely off watch, simply charging is the first step.
