Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Zippo 45016 Digital Quartz Watch. This manual provides detailed instructions to help you understand and operate your new watch effectively. Please read this manual thoroughly before use and keep it for future reference.
Safety Information
- Do not attempt to open the watch case or replace the battery yourself, as this may void the warranty and damage the watch.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Clean the watch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.
- While the watch is designed for daily wear, avoid direct impact or dropping it.
Setup
Initial Power-On and Time Setting
Your Zippo 45016 watch comes with a pre-installed battery. Upon first use, you may need to set the current time and date.
- Locate the mode button (usually on the bottom left) and the adjustment buttons (usually on the right side).
- Press the mode button repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed. Digits for hours or minutes will typically flash.
- Use the adjustment buttons (e.g., 'Start/Stop' or 'Reset') to increase or decrease the flashing value.
- Press the mode button again to move to the next setting (minutes, year, month, day).
- Once all settings are correct, press the mode button one last time to exit the setting mode.

Operating Instructions
Basic Time Display
In the default mode, the watch displays the current time (hours, minutes, seconds) and often the day of the week and date.
Light Function
To illuminate the display in low-light conditions:
- Press the 'Light' button (typically located on the top left or top right of the watch).
- The backlight will activate for a few seconds.
Lap Timer (Stopwatch) Function
The lap timer allows you to measure elapsed time.
- Press the 'Mode' button until the stopwatch display appears (usually indicated by 'STW' or a stopwatch icon).
- Press the 'Start/Stop' button (often on the top right) to begin timing.
- To record a lap time without stopping the main timer, press the 'Lap' or 'Reset' button. The lap time will display briefly.

- Press 'Reset' (often on the bottom right) while the timer is paused to clear the stopwatch to zero.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution, then wipe clean with a damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the watch's finish.
