Luminous Hands:
The analog hands feature a luminous coating, allowing them to glow in the dark after exposure to light, providing visibility without needing the LED backlight.
Maintenance
Water Resistance (5ATM / 50M):

Your LIGE LG8971 watch is water-resistant to 5ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for:
- Handwashing
- Rain exposure
- Car washing
- Showering (cold water only)
- Swimming
Important Restrictions:
- DO NOT operate any buttons or the crown while the watch is submerged in water.
- DO NOT expose the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas, hot tubs), as this can compromise the water seals.
- The watch is NOT suitable for strenuous exercise in water, shallow diving, or deep diving.

Cleaning Your Watch:
- Wipe the watch case and silicone band with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and drying thoroughly.
- Clean the Hardlex dial window with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the glass.
- Ensure the watch is completely dry before storing or wearing.
Battery Replacement:
The watch is powered by a battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Troubleshooting
- Digital Display is Blank or Dim:
This usually indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section. Ensure the watch is not in a power-saving mode if applicable. - Analog Hands Not Moving:
Check if the crown is pushed all the way in. If it is, the battery might be depleted, or there could be a mechanical issue. A professional watch repair service is recommended. - Time is Inaccurate:
Re-set both the analog and digital times according to the Setup Instructions. If the issue persists, the battery may be weak, or the watch may require servicing. - Buttons Not Responding:
Ensure the watch is not wet or submerged. If dry and still unresponsive, try a soft reset by holding all buttons for a few seconds (if applicable, consult a professional if unsure). A low battery can also cause this. - Fog or Moisture Inside the Dial:
This indicates a breach in the water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and take it to a professional for inspection and repair to prevent further damage.
User Tips
- Battery Life: If you notice the digital display becoming faint or the backlight less bright, it's a good indicator that the battery might need replacing soon. Prompt replacement ensures all functions operate optimally.
- Avoid Extreme Conditions: While the watch is robust, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold) or strong magnetic fields can affect its accuracy and lifespan.
- Regular Cleaning: A quick wipe-down after sports or heavy use can prevent sweat and dirt buildup, keeping your watch looking new and preventing skin irritation.
