Charging the Battery
e rechargeable battery of the WR72 Watch is long lasting and provides up to 3 rounds
of golf (based upon average of 4 hours per round), 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. Charging your battery with one bar remaining (Fig. 1) will guarantee that you
will be able to make through the entire next round.
To check your remaining battery life, press the Menu button and select Battery. To
recharge the battery, align the 2 guide pins (Fig.2) on the included USB clip with the
guide holes on the back of the watch (Fig.3); this will auto-align the charging pins with the
receptacles. en, connect the clip to any USB port (computer, A/C charger, etc.). Look
for the scrolling battery icon to indicate that your WR72 watch is charging (make sure
to connect from either the Home (Time) screen (Fig. 4) or from the Battery screen (Fig 1).
