Charge Your Global Trainer™ Bodylink® System Watch

Before you use the Global Trainer™ watch for the first time, the lithium-ion
battery must be charged. A depleted battery takes approximately 2 1/2 to 3 1/2
hours to fully charge.

CAUTION: The Global Trainer™ watch should only be charged within a tempera-
ture range of 32°F - 113°F (0°C - 45°C).

Charge Using the USB Cable

1. Insert the large USB-A plug on the download/charging clip into a USB port
on any powered computer.

2. Attach the download/charging clip to the back of the Global Trainer™ watch.

3. Make sure the four contacts on the clip touch the four metal discs on the
back of the watch. Match the red dot on the watch with the red dot on the
connector for proper orientation.

4. Secure the clip to the watch caseback by placing the fixed end of the clip
into the slot adjacent to the red dot and locking the hinged end of the clip
into the other slot.

Charge Using the AC Adaptor

1. Insert large USB-A plug on the download/charging clip into the USB port on
the AC adaptor, and plug the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet.

2. Attach the download/charging clip to the back of the Global Trainer™ watch,
as instructed above in steps 3 and 4.

The Power Off Function is set to SHOW TIME, so the date and time will display
during charging. A blinking battery icon appears during charging. A solid battery
icon appears when charging is complete. To learn more about the Power Off
Function, refer to the section on CONFIGURE (Mode) and the MODES section of
the USER GUIDE.

NOTE: To prevent corrosion, please dry the download/charging contacts and
the surrounding area on the back of the Global Trainer™ watch.

Turn the Global Trainer™ Watch On and Off

To turn the Global Trainer™ watch on or off, press and hold 8 for 2 seconds until
you hear a three-note tone. The tone ascends in pitch when powering on, and
descends in pitch when powering off.

Because the Power Off Function is set to SHOW TIME, the date and time will
display when the Global Trainer™ watch is turned off. The POWER OFF label will
appear in the upper status bar.

NOTE: When the Power Off Function is set to TURN OFF DISPLAY, better
standby battery life is obtained. To learn more about the Power Off Function,
refer to the CONFIGURE (Mode) and the MODES sections of the USER GUIDE.
