Precautions for charging

• It is recommended that you use a HUAWEI charging cradle and adapter purchased from an official Huawei sales outlet, or a charging cradle and adapter that comply with relevant safety regulations and standards, when charging your device. Chargers and power banks that do not meet relevant safety standards may cause issues such as slow charging or overheating. Please exercise caution when using such devices. If the charging cradle is connected to the USB port of other devices (such as a PC, docking station, or multi-port charger), your watch may be unable to be charged or charge slowly. The charging cradle is magnetic, and tends to attract metal objects. Please check and clean the charging cradle before use. Avoid exposing the charging cradle to high temperatures for extended periods of time, as doing so may damage the charging cradle.
• Keep the metal charging contacts and all charging ports dry and clean, to prevent short circuits or other dangers. Make sure that the device is placed correctly on the charging cradle, with the charging status displayed on screen. When the charging icon displays 100%, your device has been fully charged and has automatically stopped charging. Remove it from the charging cradle and disconnect the power adapter. Otherwise, the battery level may decrease a while later before recharging to capacity.
• The watch uses a lithium-ion battery. There is no need to charge and discharge battery multiple times to activate it when you use the watch for the first time.
• If the device is idle for a long time, remember to charge the battery once every month, to extend the battery lifespan.

Charging your watch

1. Connect the charging cradle and charging cable, and then connect the power adapter to a power source.
2. Rest your device on top of the charging cradle, and align the metal contacts on your device to those of the charging cradle, until you see the charging icon on the device screen.

   HUAWEI WATCH 3 Series: Your device will enter charging mode and you will not be able to navigate on the screen. If you would like to use the device, press the Up button to enter the home screen.
