WEARING THE SMARTWATCH

People with very sensitive skin may notice some irritation after wearing
the Kidizoom

®

Smartwatch DX2 for extended periods of time. The skin

may become irritated when moisture, sweat, soap, or other irritants get

trapped under the watch band 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 t 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 Kidizoom® Smartwatch DX2 for the

rst 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. Then, fully charge the watch before rst
use. A full charge will take about 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 off, the watch will stop functioning and after it is
turned on again, the time and date has to be reset.

BATTERY RECHARGING

Note: Adult operation required.

To charge Kidizoom

®

Smartwatch 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.

6

• 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 while 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 is charged.

Battery Time for Reference

Condition Battery Time

Low Usage 2 weeks

Typical Usage 2-3 days

Heavy Usage 1 day

Note: The above battery time assumptions 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.

Hunting Mode

When you rst enter hunting mode, the world seen

• Image Display (Aspect Ratio)

All photos and videos are saved at 4:3 ratio, but you can select from

two different aspect ratios for displaying the image in the preview and
playback screens:

Cropped: Image appears to fully ll the screen with the left and right
sides cut off.

Fit Screen: Image scaled to t the screen, with the whole image
displayed.

• Video Resolution

There are two resolution options:

160 X 120: The video size is smaller and you can record and save

more videos.

320 X 240: The video quality is better and takes up more memory, so
fewer videos can be saved.

• Auto Screen Off

Allows you to set an Auto Screen Off timer. Tap the left and the right
arrows to set the time, then tap the green Check icon to conrm.

Selecting Disable Auto Screen Off will not turn off the screen, but the

screen will dim if there is no input for 30 seconds in Clock Display Mode

to save power. At this time, operation of the watch will be limited to
showing the time. No other functions will be operational, including 3D
clock face effects, until the watch wakes up.

Tip: If the Auto Screen Off time is set to one of the longer options, battery
consumption will increase and the time the battery lasts will decrease.

• Indoor Light Frequency

Use this setting to set the AC power frequency when traveling. If this
is not set correctly, you may see ickering on the preview screen and
photos and videos captured in indoor environments.

• Parental Control

Access these settings to either disable games or set a daily time limit.
By default there is no time limit set, you can choose a limit of 15, 30, 60
or 90 minutes per day. Once a time limit is reached, games will not be
accessible until the following day. When games are disabled, icons will
appear in the Main Menu in a slightly different conguration.

Tip: This feature is designed for parents of children who cannot yet

read, as access to the setting is granted by following simple, on-screen
instructions.

22

Note: The time limit will reset if the date or time settings are changed.

• Factory Reset

Factory Reset will erase content stored in the memory and reset all
system settings to factory defaults.

sources.
