  4. Mounting the battery pack

    NOTE: The battery pack will fit very tightly in the frame, you need to be careful during this process that you do not damage the battery pack, the wires, or the frame.

    1. Put the batteries in the battery pack, be sure to check the polarity with the drawing inside the battery pack, to ensure that you are putting the batteries in the right way.

    2. Hold the battery pack with the cover facing you and the wires at the top. Wrap the wires along the top and left side tightly. This will allow you to loop excess wire inside the watch frame, the wires should run up the inside of the frame next to the velcro strap.
