• After approximately 1 hour, your Fit Coach watch will be fully charged.
• After a few moments, the Fit Coach will vibrate briefly, a battery symbol will be shown briefly on the display, and a red LED will turn ON. If nothing happens, turn the tracker around, as it might be upside down in the USB socket.

Remarks:

• The working time after fully charging the main unit is a maximum of 7 days.
• The battery status can also be checked in the App.

3. Pairing the Device with Your Smartphone

To connect your Fit Coach:

• Ensure Bluetooth is switched ON on your smartphone/tablet.
• The Fit Coach should only be connected via the App, NOT directly via Bluetooth settings.
• Check your smartphone/tablet's Bluetooth menu. If the Fit Coach is listed among paired devices, you must first disconnect/forget this connection before connecting it with the App.
• To connect the device, you need a compatible mobile phone or tablet. Install the Guardo Fit Coach Track App.

After opening the App, you may need to swipe through two initial startup screens (showing people sporting or sleeping). You will then need to grant the App permission when prompted.

The App will then start searching for the Fit Coach. Activate the Fit Coach screen (it remains active for the longest time in heart rate mode). If the App indicates multiple Fit Coaches, yours is usually listed at the top with the lowest number next to it.

Press the App screen to select your Fit Coach and wait for the green check mark symbol to appear. Then press "BIND". The App will synchronize to 100%, after which the Fit Coach is connected.

Connectivity and Data Synchronization

• The Bluetooth connected range between the watch and smartphone/tablet is 5 to 10 meters maximum.
• Within this range, you can synchronize your data between the smartwatch and phone.
• Outside this range, you cannot synchronize your data.

Once you re-enter the range, the Fit Coach watch will AUTOMATICALLY re-connect to the selected smartphone/tablet device. Manual synchronization is possible by dragging down the Home screen in the App.

Once connected, the App will automatically display the correct date and time and save/analyze data related to your heart rhythm, activities, and sleep status.

Important: If you "UNBIND" the App from your Fit Coach device, all data will be lost. If the "anti-lost" setting is ON, your Fit Coach will vibrate when the smartphone is out of Bluetooth range and the connection is lost (up to 10m). It automatically re-connects when you re-enter the Bluetooth range.

Remarks:

• If you wish to terminate the connection between the App and the Fit Coach (UNBIND), ensure that the Bluetooth function is switched OFF, otherwise all stored data will be lost!
• To synchronize data from the Fit Coach to your App, there must always be an active Bluetooth connection between the watch and the App. Make sure the screen of your Fit Coach is active.
