7. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the charging port with brushes and a soft cloth to remove sweat and dirt, which can affect charging performance.

8. Troubleshooting

• Distance Measurement Displays "—": If the distance measurement shows dashes instead of figures, connect the watch to power and recharge it. Low battery levels can activate a power reserve mode, reducing GPS range and affecting location accuracy.
• GPS Not Locating: Ensure you are in an open area with no obstructions covering the GPS receiver. If the issue persists, ensure the device is adequately charged.
• Charging Issues: Clean the charging connectors on both the watch and the cable to ensure good contact. Use only 5V USB power sources.
