WARNING
People with very sensitive skin may notice some irritation after wearing the My First Kidi™ Smartwatch for extended periods of time. The skin may become irritated when moisture, sweat, soap, or other irritants get trapped under the wristband and are left in contact with the skin. To prevent this, we suggest children remove the watch before going to bed for the night, 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 STARTED

Master Power Switch
When you use My First Kidi™ Smartwatch 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. Fully charge the watch before first use. When the Master Power Switch is set to the Off position (o), 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 turn the watch off in daily use. Once the Master Power Switch is Off, the watch will stop functioning. After it is turned On again, the time and date will have to be reset.

BATTERY RECHARGING

Note: Adult operation required.

The watch should be fully charged before first use. To charge the My First Kidi™ Smartwatch, connect the watch to a computer using 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.
• Once the connection is successful, you will see a battery charging symbol appear on the watch screen.
• Check the charging progress regularly throughout recharging.
• When the battery is fully charged, the fully charged battery icon will appear. Then the screen will automatically turn off. You may then disconnect your fully charged watch from the computer.

Note:
It will take approximately 3.5 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).

CHARGING GUIDELINES
To charge the My First Kidi™ Smartwatch, use only the included Micro-USB cable to connect to a computer or other equipment with a USB port (Output DC 5V 1A) and bearing the following Class II or III
symbol. Do not charge using a third-party adapter. Before use, inspect the cable to confirm that it is in good condition and that there are no breaks or exposed wires. Ensure there are no particles or liquid (water, juice, etc.) in either of the connectors before plugging at either end of the cable. The device should be completely dry with no debris in the cable connectors when charging. Plug in the cable securely, in the correct orientation. Never leave the device unattended while charging. Do not charge your device on soft surfaces, as they can trap heat around the device. Typical charging time is approximately 3.5 hours if the battery is fully depleted. Disconnect the device when it is fully charged. Do not leave the device charging for more than four hours. Examine the charging cord periodically for conditions that may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons such as damage to the cord, housing, or other parts. In the event of such conditions, the cord should not be used until properly repaired or replaced.

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. The remaining battery capacity will appear in the top right corner of the screen. When the battery level is low, recharge the battery before further use. When the battery level is too low, the watch will not turn on until it is recharged. 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. The battery life varies from battery to battery depending on storage, operating conditions, and environment.

BATTERY TIME FOR REFERENCE

Note:
The above battery time assumptions are based on the screen display set to turn off when not in use. Please see the Settings section for more details about this option.

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

BATTERIES CAN NOT BE REPLACED
The batteries within this toy are permanently encased. Before giving this toy to a child make sure there are no signs of damage. Regularly check the toy and dispose of it immediately if there are any signs of damage. Do not dispose of the toy in a fire, as the batteries may leak and explode. Keep batteries safely out of children’s reach before disposing of them via a safe disposal system. The battery in this product must not be disposed of with household waste. This battery is recyclable. Please follow your local recycling regulations.

WARNING MESSAGES

SPLASH-PROOF FOR EVERYDAY PLAY
