Charge your tracker
A fully-charged Charge 3 has a battery life of 7 days. Battery life and charge cycles
vary with use and other factors; actual results will vary.
To charge Charge 3:
1. Plug the charging cable into the USB port on your computer, a UL-certified
USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Clip the other end of the charging cable to the port on the back of Charge 3.
The pins on the charging clip must lock securely with the gold contacts on the
back of the tracker. Charge 3 vibrates, and a battery icon appears on the
screen.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While the tracker charges, you can press the
buttons to check the battery level. A fully-charged tracker shows a solid battery
icon with a smile.

Wear Charge 3
WearCharge 3 around your wrist. If you need to attach a different size band, or if
you purchased another band, see the instructions in "Change the band" on page13.
Placement for all-day wear vs. exercise
When you're not exercising, wear Charge 3 a finger's width above your wrist bone.
In general, it's always important to give your wrist a break on a regular basis by
removing your tracker for around an hour after extended wear. We recommend
removing your tracker while you shower. Although you can shower while wearing
your tracker, not doing so reduces the potential for exposure to soaps, shampoos,
and conditioners, which can cause long-term damage to your tracker and may
cause skin irritation.
