Care and Maintenance

The Neo X watch is durable and waterproof. To help ensure reliable operation, the
following care and maintenance guidelines are recommended :

◄

▼

(2 seconds) to power on/o.

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme environmental conditions for a
prolonged period of time.

• Avoid severe impacts on the watch.

• You may clean the watch occasionally with a soft, damp cloth.

• Brush the clip contacts at the bottom of the watch regularly. Dirt build-up

on the surface of the contact points may aect normal charging and data
transfer. (*Note: Use a soft-bristled brush. Hard bristles or wire brushes may
leave scratches on the watch).

• DO NOT expose the watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline and alcohol,
as they will damage the watch.

• Store the watch in a dry place when it is not in use.

Charging the Battery

The rechargeable battery of the Neo X Watch is long lasting and provides up to
15 hours of golf, or two years of use as an everyday (time only) watch. However,
battery life may be reduced due to a variety of factors (external temperature, etc).
All rechargeable batteries lose their eective charge length over time.

To check your remaining battery life, press the Menu button and select Battery. To
recharge the battery, align the 2 guide pins (Fig.1) on the included USB clip with
the guide holes on the back of the watch (Fig.2); this will auto-align the charging
pins with the receptacles. Then, connect the clip to any USB port (computer, A/C
charger, etc.). Look for the scrolling battery icon to indicate that your Neo X watch
is charging (make sure to connect from either the Home (Time) screen or from the
Battery screen.

Set Time by GPS

*To ensure reception, make sure you are outdoors away from tall buildings and
trees, with a clear view of the sky.

This is the easiest way to set the time. From the Time Options Menu, select Time

time and the date will be set via your longitude position. When the selection arrow
is pointing at By GPS (Fig 2.), other GPS features (Play Golf, Odometer, GPS Status)
will update your time via your longitude position as well, which is convenient for
the travelling golfer. *Note: In rare instances, time zone boundaries may conict. In
these cases, it may be necessary to manually adjust the time as detailed in the Set
Time Manually section.

Entretien et maintenance

La montre Neo X est robuste et étanche. Néanmoins, il vous est recommandé
de suivre les indications d’entretien et de maintenance pour garantir un
fonctionnement optimal :

◄

▲

• Évitez d’exposer la montre à des conditions environnementales extrêmes
pendant une période prolongée.

• Évitez des lourds impacts sur la montre.

• Vous pouvez nettoyer la montre de manière occasionnelle avec un chion

doux et humide.

• Brossez régulièrement les broches de charge situées à l’arrière de la montre.
L’accumulation de poussière à la surface de ces dernières peut aecter le
transfert de données vers un ordinateur. (*Remarque : Utilisez une brosse à
poils doux. Les brosses à poils durs ou métalliques peuvent rayer la montre).

• N’EXPOSEZ PAS la montre à des substances chimiques agressives, telles que
l’essence et l’alcool, car elles risqueraient de l’endommager.

• Conservez la montre dans un endroit sec lorsque vous ne l’utilisez pas.

Chargement de la batterie

La montre Neo X est dotée d’une batterie rechargeable longue durée, qui ore
jusqu’à 15 heures d’utilisation en mode golf (GPS actif) ou 2 ans d’utilisation en
mode montre. Cependant, un certain nombre de facteurs comme la température
extérieure peuvent réduire la durée de vie de la batterie. De plus, sachez que toutes
les batteries rechargeables perdent de leur charge eective avec le temps.

Pour vérier l’autonomie de votre batterie, appuyez sur le bouton Menu, puis
sélectionnez « Battery » (batterie). Pour charger la batterie, alignez les deux broches
de guidage (Fig. 1) du connecteur USB (inclus) avec les trous de guidage situés au

dénies en fonction de votre longitude. Lorsque la èche de sélection pointe sur By
GPS (Fig. 2), d’autres fonctions GPS (Play Golf, Odometer, GPS Status) actualiseront
également l’heure en fonction de votre longitude, ce qui est pratique pour un
golfeur en voyage. *Remarque : dans de rares circonstances, un conit peut survenir
entre les fuseaux horaires. Le cas échéant, il peut être nécessaire de régler l’heure
manuellement, comme décrit dans la section Réglage manuel de l’heure.
