Troubleshooting
- Device not turning on:
- Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to a USB power source for at least 30 minutes.
- Verify the USB connection is secure and the charging port is clean.

- Ensure you are long-pressing to confirm each setting during the setup process.
- Inaccurate step count/calories:
- Verify that your personal information (height, weight, age) is correctly entered in the device settings. Inaccurate data can lead to incorrect calculations.
- Ensure the watch is worn securely on your wrist. Loose fit can affect accuracy.
- Short battery life:
- Ensure the device is fully charged (2-3 hours).
- Battery life can vary based on usage patterns and environmental factors.
- Over time, all rechargeable batteries degrade. If battery life significantly decreases, it may indicate battery wear.
- Display not responding to touch:
- Ensure your finger is dry and clean.
- If the device is unresponsive, try charging it to see if it's a low battery issue.
- A soft reset (if available, often by holding the button for an extended period or letting the battery drain and recharge) might resolve temporary software glitches.
