Setup and Initial Configuration

1. Initial Charging (Tough Solar)

Before initial use, expose the watch to bright light for several hours to ensure it is sufficiently charged. The watch features a solar panel that converts light into electrical energy, stored in a rechargeable battery. Regular exposure to light is essential for maintaining optimal charge.

2. Time Calibration Signal Reception (Multiband 6)

Your watch automatically receives time calibration signals. For optimal reception, place the watch near a window at night. The watch will attempt to receive the signal automatically between midnight and 5:00 AM. Manual reception can also be initiated.

• Automatic Reception: The watch attempts to receive the signal up to six times a day.
• Manual Reception: Refer to the "Operating" section for instructions on initiating manual signal reception.

The Multiband 6 feature ensures accurate timekeeping by receiving signals from various global locations. If signal reception is not possible, the watch operates with the accuracy of a standard quartz movement (approximately ±15 seconds per month).

3. Home City Setting

Set your Home City (time zone) to ensure correct time display and radio signal reception. This setting is crucial for the watch to automatically adjust to your local time.

1. In Timekeeping Mode, press and hold the ADJUST button (usually top left) until the city code starts to flash.
2. Use the FORWARD and REVERSE buttons (usually top right and bottom right) to select your desired city code.
3. Press the ADJUST button again to confirm and exit the setting mode.

Operating the Watch

Mode Switching

Press the MODE button (usually bottom left) to cycle through the different modes:

• Timekeeping Mode
• World Time Mode
• Alarm Mode
• Stopwatch Mode
• Timer Mode

Using Specific Functions

World Time Mode

In World Time Mode, use the FORWARD and REVERSE buttons to view the current time in different cities around the world. You can also swap your Home City time with the World Time city time.

Alarm Mode

In Alarm Mode, you can set up to five independent daily alarms. One alarm includes a snooze function. Use the ADJUST button to select an alarm and the FORWARD/REVERSE buttons to set the alarm time. Press the MODE button to toggle alarms on/off.

Stopwatch Mode

The stopwatch measures elapsed time, split times, and two finishes. Press the START/STOP button (usually top right) to start and stop the measurement. Press the RESET button (usually bottom right) to reset the stopwatch.

Timer Mode

The countdown timer can be set from 1 minute up to 60 minutes. Use the ADJUST button to set the countdown time and the START/STOP button to begin the countdown. An alarm will sound when the timer reaches zero.

Full Auto LED Light

The watch features an automatic LED backlight. When the auto light switch is enabled, tilting your wrist towards your face in a dark environment will automatically illuminate the display. This function can be enabled or disabled in Timekeeping Mode by holding the LIGHT button (usually bottom right) for a few seconds.

Maintenance

Charging the Watch (Tough Solar)

To ensure continuous operation, expose the watch to light regularly. The watch charges most efficiently under direct sunlight. Indoor fluorescent lighting also charges the watch, but at a slower rate. Avoid prolonged storage in dark places, as this can deplete the rechargeable battery.

• Charging Guidelines: Place the watch where its face is exposed to light.
• Battery Level Indicator: Monitor the battery level indicator to ensure sufficient charge.
• Power Saving: The watch will enter Power Saving mode when left in the dark for an extended period to conserve charge.

Water Resistance

The watch is rated for 100-meter water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not designed for scuba diving. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.

• Do not operate buttons underwater.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam (e.g., showers, saunas) as this can compromise seals.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and wipe it dry.

Cleaning

Wipe the watch and band with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, use a soft brush with mild soap and water, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents.

Troubleshooting

Time is Incorrect

• Check Signal Reception: Ensure the watch is in a location conducive to radio signal reception (e.g., near a window, away from electronic interference). Try initiating manual reception.
• Home City Setting: Verify that your Home City is correctly set for your current time zone.
• Manual Time Adjustment: If automatic reception consistently fails, you can manually set the time. Refer to the full instruction manual for detailed steps on manual time adjustment.

Watch Stops or Display is Blank

• Insufficient Charge: The watch may not have enough power. Expose it to bright light for several hours to charge the solar battery.
• Power Saving Mode: The watch might be in Power Saving mode. Move it to a well-lit area or press any button to wake it up.

Buttons Do Not Respond

• Water Exposure: Ensure the watch is completely dry if it has been exposed to water.
• Low Battery: A very low battery charge can sometimes affect button responsiveness. Charge the watch fully.
