WEARING THE SMART WATCH

People with very sensitive skin may notice some irritation after wearing the Kidizoom® Smart Watch DX2 for extended periods of time. Skin may become irritated when moisture, sweat, soap, or other irritants get trapped under the wristband. To prevent this, we suggest that children remove the watch before going to bed for the night, to take the watch off if it’s feeling uncomfortable, and keep their wrist and the band clean and dry. In addition, wearing the watch too tightly may also cause irritation. Make sure the fit is good – tight enough so the watch stays in place, but not so tight that it’s uncomfortable. If you notice any redness, swelling, or other irritation, you may want to consult a doctor before wearing the watch again.

GETTING STARTEDMaster Power Switch

When using the Kidizoom® Smart Watch DX2 for the first time, you will need to slide the Master Power Switch (located on the underside of the watch) to the ON position . You may need a small tool such as a paper clip to move the switch to the ON position. It is recommended to fully charge the watch before first use. A full charge will take approximately 3 hours. When the Master Power Switch is set to the OFF position, the unit will not function and the battery will not charge. Only move the switch to the OFF position when the watch will not be used for an extended period of time.
Note: It is not necessary to switch off the watch in daily use. Once the Master Power Switch is set to the OFF position, the watch will stop functioning. After the watch has been turned on again, the time and date has to be reset.

BATTERY RECHARGING
Note: Adult operation required.
To charge the Kidizoom® Smart Watch DX2, the watch needs to be connected to a computer with the included Micro-USB Cable. To do so correctly, please follow these steps:

  • Make sure that the Master Power Switch is set to the ON position before charging.
  • Pull up the rubber cover of the Micro-USB Port on the side of the watch.
  • Insert the Micro-USB Cable (small end) into the Micro-USB Port on the watch.
  •  Insert the large end of the Micro-USB Cable into a USB port on your computer. A USB port is usually marked with this symbol:
  •  Once the connection is successful, you will see a battery recharging symbol appear on the watch screen.
  •  Check the charging progress regularly throughout recharging.
  •  When the battery is fully charged, a message will display on the screen for a few seconds before the screen automatically turns
    off. You may then disconnect your fully charged watch from the computer.

Note: It will take approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. The actual charging time depends on the charging current, the remaining charge in the battery prior to recharging, and the ambient temperature. The optimum ambient temperature is 32°F – 104°F (0°C to 40°C). If your watch needs a much longer time to fully charge the battery, try a different USB power source.

BATTERY LIFE
The time the battery lasts between charges depends on play. Like other electronic devices, more frequent usage will drain the battery more quickly. Some activities are more demanding on the battery, such as taking photos and videos. The remaining battery capacity will appear in the top right corner of the screen. When the battery level
is low, it is recommended to recharge the battery before further use. When the battery level is too low, the watch will not turn on until it has been recharged.

Battery Life Approximation

Usage Battery Time
Low Usage 2 weeks
Average Usage 2-3 days
Heavy Usage 1 day

Note: The above battery life approximations are based on the screen display set to turn off when not in use.

Battery Maintenance

Charge the battery regularly to keep it operating at optimum performance, even when the watch isn’t regularly in use. For example, charge the watch at least once every six months. Move the Master Power Switch to the ON position before recharging the battery. Move the Master Power Switch to the OFF position if the watch will not be in use for an extended period of time.

BATTERY NOTICE
Misuse of batteries can lead to them bursting, causing a fire or chemical burns. Please read the below precautions:

  •  Do not disassemble.
  •  Do not crush and do not expose the battery to any shock or force such as hammering, dropping or stepping on it.
  •  Do not short circuit.
  •  Do not expose to high temperatures or place near a heat source. Do not leave in direct sunlight for any length of time.
  •  Do not dispose of in fire.
  •  Do not handle damaged or leaking batteries.
  •  Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
  •  Keep the battery dry.
  • Examine the battery charging cord periodically for conditions that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons (such as damage to the output cord, housing, or other parts) and that, in an event of such conditions, the battery charging cord should not be used until properly repaired or replaced.
  • If you find the time between charges is considerably shortened with no change in usage, the battery could be nearing the end of its life. Please dispose of the used battery as described in this guide. The battery life varies from battery to battery depending on storage, operating conditions and environment.

Disposal of batteries and product

  • The crossed-out wheelie bin symbols on products and batteries, or on their respective packaging, indicates they must not be disposed of in domestic waste as they contain substances that can be damaging to the environment and human health.
  • The chemical symbols Hg, Cd or Pb, where marked, indicate that the battery contains more than the specified value of mercury (Hg), cadmium (Cd) or lead (Pb) set out in Battery Directive (2006/66/EC).

  •  Do not put under running water.

  3.  Keep the watch out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat sources.
  4.  Do not drop the watch on a hard surface, expose it to moisture, or immerse it in water.
