User Tips

• Battery Life: Be aware that the battery typically lasts 1-3 days, similar to a smartphone, especially with active use of features like Wi-Fi, mobile network, and video calls.
• SIM Card Insertion: Always ensure the watch is powered off before inserting or removing the SIM card to prevent signal issues.
• App Compatibility: The watch is compatible with Android OS 6.0 and above, and iOS 11.1 and above. Ensure your smartphone's OS is updated for optimal performance.
• Water Resistance: The watch has a 'Life Waterproof' rating, meaning it can withstand splashes and sweat but is not suitable for swimming or showering.

Troubleshooting

• Watch Not Turning On: If the watch fails to power on, it may be due to a dead battery. Ensure the charging cable contacts are clean and charge the watch regularly (e.g., weekly) to prevent this.
• Watch Freezes: If the watch becomes unresponsive, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds to force a restart.
• Overheating: It is normal for the watch to experience slight warming or overheating during high-energy activities such as calls, internet browsing, or video playback, especially when using a mobile network. If a high-temperature alarm is triggered, reduce the use of such high-power applications.
• "No Service" on SIM Card: Ensure the SIM card was inserted while the watch was powered off. If inserted while on, power off the watch, reinsert the SIM, and then power it back on.
