8. Waterproof Information

The HAYLOU Solar 5 has an IP68 waterproof rating, meaning it is resistant to dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. This allows you to wear it when washing hands, running in the rain, or strolling on the beach.

Important Note: The watch should not be worn during diving, platform dives, hot showers, saunas, or other activities that involve fast-flowing water. Metal straps are not designed to withstand swims or sweat. To avoid corrosion, please do not wear the watch when swimming in the sea. Water resistance is not permanent and may decrease with daily wear and tear.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your HAYLOU Solar 5 smartwatch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the watch and strap with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, detergents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and seals.
• Water Exposure: While the watch is IP68 waterproof, prolonged exposure to water, especially hot water or high-pressure water, should be avoided. Dry the watch thoroughly after it gets wet.
• Charging: Always use the original charging cable provided with your watch. Ensure the charging contacts on both the watch and the cable are clean and dry before charging to prevent corrosion or damage.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Strap Care: If you have a silicone strap, clean it with mild soap and water. For metal straps, use a soft cloth. Avoid bending or twisting the straps excessively.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your HAYLOU Solar 5 smartwatch:

• Watch does not have GPS: The HAYLOU Solar 5 does not feature built-in GPS. For location tracking during outdoor activities, you may need to use your smartphone's GPS in conjunction with the Haylou Fun app.
• NFC is not for card payments: The NFC functionality on the Solar 5 is designed for access control (e.g., opening compatible smart door locks) and not for contactless payments with cards.
• Cannot make or answer calls from the watch:
  1. Ensure your watch is properly paired with your smartphone via Bluetooth.
  2. Check the Bluetooth settings on your phone to confirm that the watch is connected for both calls and media audio.
  3. Verify that the Haylou Fun app has the necessary permissions for phone calls and notifications on your smartphone.
  4. Restart both your phone and the smartwatch.
• Notifications are not arriving on iPhone:
  1. Confirm Bluetooth connection between your iPhone and the watch.
  2. Check notification settings in the Haylou Fun app to ensure notifications are enabled for desired apps.
  3. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Bluetooth, tap the "i" icon next to your watch, and ensure "Share System Notifications" is enabled.
  4. Also, check iPhone's general Notification settings for the Haylou Fun app and individual apps to ensure alerts are allowed.
• Battery only charges to 94% / Screen turned white: These issues may indicate a potential hardware or software fault. If troubleshooting steps like restarting or factory resetting do not resolve the problem, please refer to the Warranty and Support section for further assistance.

User Tips

• Maximize Battery Life: To achieve the advertised 40-day battery life, enable the long battery life mode in the watch settings. Daily usage with all features active typically yields about 15 days.

• App Integration: Fully utilize the "Haylou Fun" app for detailed health data, workout analysis, watch face customization, and managing smart notifications.
• Display Visibility: The 1000 Nits AMOLED display offers good visibility in sunny conditions. Adjust brightness settings as needed for optimal viewing.
