• Connect the provided charging cable to the watch's charging port.
• Connect the other end of the cable to a standard USB power adapter (not included) or a computer's USB port.
• A charging indicator will appear on the watch screen. A full charge typically provides up to 48 hours of standby time.

The watch has an IP65 rating, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. This allows for:

• Protection against splashes (e.g., rain, hand washing).
• It is not suitable for swimming, showering, or submersion in water.
• Ensure the SIM card slot cover is securely closed to maintain water resistance.

To clean the watch:

• Ensure the watch is dry before charging or using.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Watch Not Turning On or Charging

• Charging Cable/Adapter: Verify that the charging cable and adapter are working correctly. Try a different USB port or adapter.
