Tips for Solar Charging
The fēnix 6X Pro Solar watch has a transparent solar
charging lens that charges your watch while you use it. To
maximize the battery life of your watch, follow these tips.
When you are wearing the watch, avoid covering
the face with your sleeve.
When you are not wearing the watch, point the face
toward a source of bright light, such as fluorescent light
or sunlight.
The watch will charge faster when exposed to
sunlight, because the solar charging lens is
optimized for the spectrum of sunlight.
For maximum battery performance, charge the
watch in bright sunlight.
NOTE:
The watch protects itself from overheating and
stops charging automatically if the internal temperature
exceeds the solar charging temperature threshold
(
NOTE:
The watch does not solar charge when
connected to an external battery source or when the
battery is full.
