Setup

Battery Installation

The watch comes with a CR2032 lithium battery pre-installed. If the watch is not functioning, the battery may need to be replaced. It is recommended that battery replacement be performed by a qualified professional to ensure proper sealing and function.

Initial Time Synchronization

Upon initial activation or after a battery change, the watch will attempt to synchronize with the nearest radio time signal. Place the watch near a window or in an open area to facilitate signal reception. This process may take several minutes. Once synchronized, the watch will display and announce the correct local time, day, and date.

The watch automatically sets itself to different time zones and adjusts for summer and winter time.

In regions without radio time signals, the watch can be manually set. Consult the detailed instructions provided in the full manual for the specific button sequences required for manual time and date adjustment.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a CR2032 lithium battery. When the battery is low, the watch's functions may become erratic or cease. It is strongly recommended to have the battery replaced by a professional watch technician to prevent damage to the watch's internal components and to ensure its water resistance is maintained.

Care and Cleaning

To clean the watch, wipe the casing and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. While the watch is water-resistant, it is not suitable for swimming or showering. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.

The watch features a stylish and comfortable genuine black leather strap.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not synchronizing: Ensure the watch is placed in an area with good signal reception, away from electronic interference. Try initiating manual synchronization if available.
• Talking function not working: Check battery level. If the battery is low, the talking function may be affected.
• Incorrect time displayed: Verify that the watch has successfully synchronized. If in a region without radio signal, ensure manual time setting was performed correctly.
