5. Operation of the Spotter GPS Watch - Air
The Spotter determines the current location by means of the Global Positioning System
(GPS). This uses the highest GPS class, which ensures that locations are very accurate.
These locations are then sent via GPRS to your online account where you view all data.
5.1. Charging & first time use
Before using the Spotter GPS Watch - Air, fully charge the battery in 2 to 3 hours. To do
this, use the supplied USB cable with which you can charge magnetically.
You place the two dots of the charger on the connectors on the back of the Spotter GPS
Watch - Air. Then place the end of the cable in a USB port or USB charger, after which the
Spotter Watch –Air will start charging. A battery that is being charged appears on the
screen of the Spotter GPS Watch - Air. Once it is full, you can disconnect the Spotter GPS
Watch - Air from the power and switch it on.

5.2. Turn off and on
Press the SOS button on the right side of the Spotter GPS Watch - Air for 5 seconds to turn it on. The Spotter logo now appears and a sound is heard. The
Spotter GPS Watch - Air works by means of GPS and GPRS, so it is important that there is sufficient range. We therefore recommend activating the Spotter
GPS Watch - Air near the window or outside for optimal range so a location can be measured.
Please note: it can take several minutes to hours before the Spotter GPS Watch - Air can provide an initial location. If you do not receive a location, take the
Spotter GPS Watch - Air outside on your wrist and wait until the first location comes through. This is only necessary for the first use.
You cannot switch off the Spotter GPS Watch - Air via the watch itself, but via the app. Go to the map in the app and click on the relevant Spotter. A menu
opens with the option “Turn off”. Click on it and the Spotter will turn off within seconds.
5.3. Operating the touchscreen
You can navigate through the menu using the touchscreen on the Spotter GPS Watch –Air. When the Spotter is on and you briefly click the on button (on
the side) once, the time is displayed analogously. Click on the screen to see the time digitally and then swipe left or right to go through the menu. You will
then arrive at 'Brightness', where the brightness of the screen can be adjusted, Volume and Movement (pedometer). Click on the small circle at the bottom
of the screen to return to the screen where the time is displayed. If you do not touch the touchscreen for 20 seconds, the screen will automatically go to
standby.
