CHARGING DURING TRAINING

Do not attempt to charge your watch during a training session with a portable charger such as a power bank. If you plug

your watch into a power source during a training session the battery is not charged. When connected to the charging

cable during training sweat and moisture can cause corrosion and damage the charging cable and watch. Also, if you

start a training session while charging the watch, charging is stopped.

The operating time depends on many factors, such as the temperature of the environment in which you use your watch,

the features you use, how often the backlight is turned on and battery aging. Frequent syncing with Flow app will also

decrease the battery life. The operating time is significantly reduced in temperatures well below freezing. Wearing the

watch under your overcoat helps to keep it warmer and to increase the operating time.

The battery status icon is shown when you turn your wrist to look at the watch or return to time

view from the menu. The battery status icon shows how much charge is left on the battery as a

percentage.
