## Step by step instructions

Below you’ll find the steps for charging your Buddy Pendant with the default charging cable that comes along with it.

### Step 1

Use only My Buddy Gard provided wall charger or USB port on your laptop or home computer.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Please Note:**</mark> Most laptops and computers are designed to go into sleep mode and will cut the power to the USB port when they do so. Make sure that your computer is plugged in and turned on when charging to avoid having flat battery.

Other fast chargers & mobile phone chargers will damage the watch and can potentially break the charging port.
