3. Setup and Initial Operation

3.1 Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch) out to position 2.
2. Rotate the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
3. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position). The second hand will begin to move.

3.2 Battery Activation

Your watch comes with a pre-installed battery. If the watch is not running upon receipt, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still does not operate, the battery may need replacement (refer to Section 5.3).

4. Operating the Chronograph Function

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time independently of the main time display.

4.1 Chronograph Pushers

• Pusher A (Top Pusher): Starts and stops the chronograph.
• Pusher B (Bottom Pusher): Resets the chronograph to zero.

4.2 Using the Chronograph

1. To start timing, press Pusher A. The chronograph second hand (typically the large central second hand or a dedicated subdial hand) will begin to move.
2. To stop timing, press Pusher A again. The chronograph hands will stop, indicating the elapsed time.
3. To reset the chronograph, press Pusher B. The chronograph hands will return to their zero positions.
4. To measure split times (lap times), press Pusher A to start, then Pusher B to temporarily stop the hands to read a split time, while the chronograph continues to run internally. Press Pusher B again to catch up the hands to the running time. Press Pusher A to stop the final time, then Pusher B to reset.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Fastrack watch.

5.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
• For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to water, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals. Clean with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.

5.2 Water Resistance

While your watch may offer some resistance to splashes, it is generally not designed for swimming or showering. Avoid submerging the watch in water. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain any water resistance.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a 'A' type battery (1 included). When the watch stops or the second hand begins to skip, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to prevent damage to the movement and maintain water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Running: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in. If it still doesn't run, the battery may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time: Re-set the time as described in Section 3.1. If the time consistently loses or gains significantly, the movement may require servicing.
• Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero: This may require a chronograph reset procedure. Consult a professional watch repair service for adjustment.

For persistent issues, contact Fastrack customer support or an authorized service center.
