To maintain battery health:

• Avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
• Do not leave the watch connected to a charger for extended periods after it is fully charged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to very high or very low temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

• Check Battery: Ensure the watch battery is sufficiently charged. Connect it to a USB power source and allow it to charge for at least 15 minutes before attempting to power on again.
• Power Button: Confirm you are pressing and holding the Power button for the required duration.

8.2 Watch Not Connecting to Drone

• Drone Power: Ensure the drone is powered on and its battery is charged.
• Proximity: Make sure the watch and drone are within close proximity (e.g., 1-2 meters) during the initial pairing process.
• Re-pair: Power off both the watch and the drone, then power them on again in the correct sequence (drone first, then watch) to re-attempt pairing.
• Compatibility: Verify that your drone model is listed as compatible with the HT006 GPS Watch (refer to Section 5).

8.3 GPS Signal Issues

• Open Area: Operate the drone and watch in an open outdoor area with a clear, unobstructed view of the sky.
• Interference: Avoid areas with tall buildings, dense foliage, or strong electromagnetic interference, which can degrade GPS signal quality.
• Wait for Lock: Allow sufficient time for both the drone and the watch to acquire a stable GPS lock before initiating GPS-dependent flight modes.
