Charging the Battery
e rechargeable battery of the WR72 Alpha 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 Alpha watch is charging
(make sure to connect from either the Home (Time) screen (Fig. 4) or from the Battery
screen (Fig 1).
