any issues in charging or syncing.

KEEP YOUR WATCH CLEAN

Wash the watch under running water with a mild soap and water solution after each training session.
Wipe it dry with a soft towel.
Keep the charging contacts of your watch and cable clean to ensure smooth charging and
syncing.
Before charging, please make sure there's no moisture, dust or dirt on the charging contacts of your
watch and cable. Gently wipe off any dirt or moisture. Do not charge the watch when it's wet.
Keep the charging contacts of your watch clean to effectively protect your watch from oxidation and
other possible damage caused by dirt and salt water (e.g. sweat or sea water). The best way to keep the
charging contacts clean is to rinse the watch after each training session with lukewarm tap water. The
watch is water resistant and you can rinse it under running water without damaging the electronic com-
ponents. Do not charge the watch when it's wet or sweaty.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF THE OPTICAL HEART RATE SENSOR

Keep the optical sensor area on the back cover scratch-free. Scratches and dirt will reduce the per-
formance of the wrist-based heart rate measurement.

STORING

Keep your training device in a cool and dry place. Do not keep it in a damp environment, in non-breath-
able material (a plastic bag or a sports bag) nor with conductive material (a wet towel). Do not expose the
training device to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as by leaving it in a car or mounted on the
bike mount. It is recommended to store the training device partially or fully charged. The battery slowly
loses its charge when it is stored. If you are going to store the training device for several months, it is
recommended to recharge it after a few months. This will prolong the battery lifetime.
Do not leave the device in extreme cold (below –10 °C/14 °F) and heat (above 50 °C/120 °F)
or under direct sunlight.
