USB wall charger, or another low-energy charging device.
2. Hold the other end of the charging cable near the port on the back of the
tracker until it attaches magnetically. Make sure the pins on the charging cable
align with the port on the back of your tracker.
Charging fully takes about 1-2 hours. While Charge 6 charges, double-tap the screen
or press the button to turn it on and check the battery level. Swipe right on the
battery screen to use Charge 6. A fully charged tracker shows a solid battery icon.

Wear Charge 6
WearCharge 6 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 6 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.
For optimized heart-rate tracking while exercising:
lDuring a workout, experiment with wearing your tracker a bit higher on your
wrist for an improved fit. Many exercises, such as bike riding or weight lifting,
cause you to bend your wrist frequently, which could interfere with the heart-
rate signal if the tracker is lower on your wrist.
