Revision 1.0 10-Oct-2012 4 of 19 1 Introduction Thank you for purchasing a MetaWatch smartwatch. This document will help you get started and answer common questions. You MetaWatch STRATA or FRAME smartwatch came with the following items in the box. • your watch • a charging clip (can also be used for updating your watch firmware) • a microUSB cable Let’s begin!
Revision 1.0 10-Oct-2012 5 of 19 2 Starting Up 2.1 CHARGING YOUR WATCH Your MetaWatch smartwatch system comes with a recharging clip that you can attach to the watch by squeezing the USB end to open the clip wider. The watch can then be inserted. There is a recessed area of the watch where the pin area of the clip will fit into. The clip should grip the watch snugly and securely, and both the top and bottom inside edges of the clip should be flush with the watch. Connect the clip to the watch, plug in the USB cable (a micro USB cable is supplied in the box for you) and plug the other end into a USB power supply. When the clip has power, the clip’s LED will turn on. The watch is designed to recharge from this micro USB port and also operate while charging. The micro USB socket and USB cable of the clip allows you to plug your watch into a USB hub or any 5V USB power source to recharge. Most car adapters and wall adapters that are made for mobile phones have 5V DC output and should be able to charge your watch. When connected to a USB port on a Personal Computer you will be able to update the software on your watch to the latest versions. Plug the watch in and let it charge to a full battery, which could take around 4 hours the first time. If your watch is charging from an empty battery, the watch should start running immediately after plugging in, it will not however continue to run while off of the clip until the battery has a sufficient charge. When the watch software is running, you should see a charging indicator turn on in the clock area after a several seconds.

Open the MetaWatch application, go to “Menu->Settings->Select Watch”. A list of discoverable devices will be displayed. If you do not see the watch at first, double check your Android phone has Bluetooth set to ON and also that the watch has Bluetooth ON. If so and you still can not see the watch, back out and try again. Once you see the watch in the list of discoverable devices, simply tap on the watch (check the MAC address in the phone list matches the serial number your watch is displaying). Next go “Back” and hit “Menu->Start”. The MetaWatch service will attempt to connect, if the watch had not been paired previously, then a pairing request will be displayed either as a pop-up menu or as an item in the notification bar.
