Care and Maintenance

The Excel watch is durable and waterproof. To help ensure reliable operation, the following care and maintenance

guidelines are recommended :

• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme environmental conditions for a prolonged period of time.

• Avoid severe impacts on the watch.

• You may clean the watch occasionally with a soft, damp cloth.

• Brush the clip contacts at the bottom of the watch regularly. Dirt build-up on the surface of the contact points may

aect normal charging and data transfer. *Note: Use a soft-bristled brush (included). Hard bristles or wire brushes

may leave scratches on the watch.

• DO NOT expose the watch to strong chemicals such as gasoline and alcohol, as they will damage the watch.

• Store the watch in a dry place when it is not in use.

Charging the Battery

The rechargeable battery of the Excel Watch is long lasting and provides up to 3 rounds of golf (based upon average of

4 hours per round), or one year 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 when it is 25% will guarantee that you will be able to make it through the entire next round.

To check your remaining battery life, press the MENU button (2) and select BATTERY. To recharge the battery, insert the

watch into the charging cradle, with the charge contacts on the back of the watch (Fig 2) lined up with the charge pins on

the left side of the cradle (Fig 3). Then, connect the charging cradle to an open USB port on your computer, a powered USB

hub, or smartphone AC charger. Look for the screen to display “CHARGING” to indicate that your Excel watch is charging-

make sure to connect from either the Home (Time) screen (as seen on pg. 4) or from the BATTERY screen (Fig 1).

Fitness, GPS Status) will update your time via your longitude position as well, which is convenient for the travelling golfer.

*Note: In rare instances, time zone boundaries may con ict. In these cases, it may be necessary to manually adjust the time as

detailed in the Set Time Manually section.

The Excel will search for a satellite signal, and upon acquisition will yield a list of local course

results, with the nearest course at the top. Select your course to view the Front, Center, Back

GOLF MENU OPTIONS

From the Time screen, pressing the Golf button will display Golf Menu options (PLAY GOLF, TEE TIME, SWING PRO, SETUP).

Tee Time

The Tee Time function allows the user to schedule and store multiple Tee Times on their device. A Tee Time can be set

schedules.

When a Tee Time is scheduled through the app and synced with your watch, at10 minutes prior to start time, the user will

get a Tee Time notication on their connected device. 7 minutes prior to scheduled start time, the watch will automatically

begin searching for satellites. Once a GPS x is established the watch will automatically select the golf course that was

chosen by the user when creating the Tee Time on the App. If Tee Time is created manually on the watch, only the Date and

Time can be specied, and the watch will only display the nearest courses upon GPS x. A ag icon (

) will appear on

the time screen when a Tee Time is set.

Swing Pro

The Swing Pro feature allows the user to monitor the swing speed and swing tempo. When the watch is on the Swing Pro

screen, the user will rst select the club. Then the watch will continue to monitor and automatically display the last swing

measurement. If the watch is connected to the mobile app, the swing data will be uploaded to the connected mobile

device after each swing. The app on the mobile device displays and stores the swing data. The watch will continue to use

the Swing Pro function until the user exits out of the Swing Pro screen (Fig. 11).
