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 sunlight or fluorescent light.
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 (Specifications,
page 38).
NOTE: The watch does not solar charge when connected to
an external battery source or when the battery is full.
