3.2 GPS Functionality

The Maxcom FW111 Titan Chronos is equipped with dual-band GPS and supports 6 satellite systems for precise location tracking. This feature is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, and running. To activate GPS for an activity, select the desired sport mode from the watch's menu. The watch will automatically search for a satellite signal. Ensure you are in an open area for optimal signal acquisition.

3.3 SWOLF Function (Swimming)

2. Start your swim. The watch will automatically track strokes, distance, and time.
3. Review your SWOLF score and other metrics in the activity summary after your swim, either on the watch or in the companion app.

The device features a 470 mAh pure cobalt battery, providing approximately 12 to 15 days of autonomy with typical daily use. Battery life can vary based on usage patterns, GPS activity, and display settings (e.g., Always-on Display). To optimize battery life:

• Adjust screen brightness.
• Limit frequent GPS usage when not needed.
• Disable unnecessary notifications.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Smartwatch

Regularly clean your smartwatch to ensure optimal performance and hygiene. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe the screen and body. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the device or its protective coatings.

4.2 Water Resistance

The Maxcom FW111 Titan Chronos is designed to withstand water exposure, making it suitable for swimming. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-pressure water activities. After exposure to saltwater or chlorinated water, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly to prevent corrosion.

4.3 Software Updates

Periodically check for software updates through the Maxcom companion application. Updates often include performance improvements, new features, and bug fixes. Ensure your watch is sufficiently charged before initiating any software update.

5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not turning on: Ensure the watch is fully charged. If it still doesn't turn on, try a hard reset by pressing and holding the POWER button for an extended period (e.g., 10-15 seconds).
• GPS not connecting: Move to an open outdoor area away from tall buildings or dense foliage. Ensure GPS is enabled for your activity.
• Inaccurate data: Ensure the watch is worn snugly on your wrist. For heart rate, ensure the sensor is clean and in direct contact with your skin.
• Pairing issues: Ensure Bluetooth is on for both devices. Try unpairing and re-pairing the watch through the Maxcom app. Restart both your phone and the smartwatch.
• Short battery life: Review battery optimization tips in Section 3.4. Reduce screen brightness, limit Always-on Display, and disable unnecessary notifications or background app refresh.
