5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your charger, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Smartwatch Not Charging:
- Ensure the USB connector is fully inserted into the power source.
- Verify that the power source (e.g., wall adapter, computer USB port) is active and supplying power.
