when to get help
- stop charging for corrosion damage, unusual heat, swelling or damaged cable pins. do not open the watch, replace its battery or attempt internal repairs.
steps
- clean and dry the connection
disconnect the cable. clean the watch contacts and surrounding area by the manual's care method and dry them thoroughly. do not scrape with sharp tools or use harsh cleaners or solvents.
- connect the correct cable
gently seat the matching proprietary connector in the watch port. manual version 6 specifies connecting the other end to a USB-C computer port or an ac adapter with a minimum 5 W power rating.
- look for the battery-charge level
look for the current battery-charge level. if it does not appear, disconnect and contact Garmin support rather than forcing the connector. disconnect the watch once the display reaches 100%.
