WEARING THE SMARTWATCH
People with very sensitive skin may notice some irritation after wearing the Kidizoom Smartwatch DX 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 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
Switch on the MASTER POWER SWITCH when using for the first time. The MASTER POWER SWITCH is located on the back of the watch face. Slide the switch up to turn ON and fully charge the Kidizoom Smartwatch DX before use. When the watch is switched OFF, it will not be possible to charge the watch or play any activities.
Note: It is not necessary to switch the Master Power Switch to off during daily use. We recommend a full charge before playing. A full charge will take about 3 hours.

Note: It will take approximately 3 hours to fully charge the battery. The actual charging time depends on the power supply, the remaining charge and the ambient temperature of the charging environment. The optimum ambient temperature is 32°F - 104°F (0°C - 40°C). If your watch needs longer than 3 hours to fully charge, please try charging from a different USB power source.
