How do I unlock the water lock on Charge 5?

Replies are disabled for this topic. Start a new one or visit our Help Center.

I have had my Charge 5 for about a week.. I tried to turn on the Water Lock feature as recommended at my water Aerobics class but when you open the Water Lock it instructs you to "firmly double tap" to lock. I tried repeatedly tapping as hard as I could; it will not Lock. Now I'm afraid that if I manage to.lock it, I'll be unable to unlock it.

Hello,

 

Yes, it can be hard to do it, but it’s supposed to be a bit difficult so you can’t turn it on and off accidentally.  It has to be a deliberate effort to turn it on or off.

 

But, don’t let it put you off.  With any new and strange physical thing, the best way to get it is to practice again and again until it’s second nature so you can do it under pressure with no problems.

 

I’ve just been trying different ways and found if I tap it with the tip of my finger where I can hear the nail tap too, seems so work best.  Two very firm quick taps seems to do it.

 

The best thing is to practice at home when you’re watching TV or something, until you find a method that works most of the time for you.  I’ve heard some people use their knuckle instead, so there’s more than one way.

 

Once you’re able to do it fairly easily, practice with a wet hand (just after you’ve washed them or in the shower).  

Practice makes perfect.  Then you should be able to do it easily at the pool.  It’s a really useful function so you shouldn’t be afraid to use it.

 

Good luck!

Thanks. I will practice. I finally got it to turn on the Water Lock today after several attempts. It took almost 5 minutes of tapping to get it to turn off. This was after my morning water aerobics class. I was able to turn on the Exercise app to track my workout but then I couldn’t figure out how to close it without turning it off in order to get to the Water Lock, so that didn’t happen.
