In this photo I’ve connected the geography specific adapter to the USB block. Looking at the pieces individually, here’s the always thrilling paper quick start manual: Inside, we’ve got the manual to the left, the Fenix in the middle, the two power parts up top (adapter and wall connector), and the USB charging cable to the right. Once that’s done, here’s what all the parts look like spilled out onto a table: From there, you’ll lift up the top to get at all the accessory stuff below and to take off the watch itself.
