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

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.
Set Time Manually
To set the time manually, select Manually from the Set Time Menu (Fig. 2). Use the
SELECT Button (4) to cycle between elds. Use the UP Button (3) and DOWN
Button (5) to cycle elds Up and Down. After the year, time and date have been
