2. Setup
2.1 Initial Inspection
Upon unboxing, inspect the watch for any visible damage. Ensure all protective films are removed from the watch face and case back.
An open U.S. Polo Assn. branded watch box, designed to securely hold the US9508 watch. The interior features a white cushion for protection, and the brand logo is visible on the inside lid.
2.2 Battery Activation
The watch is supplied with two Lithium Ion batteries pre-installed. If the watch is not functioning, check for a small plastic stopper on the crown (the knob on the side of the watch). Remove this stopper to activate the battery. If no stopper is present and the watch is not working, the battery may need replacement (refer to Section 4.2).
2.3 Setting Analog Time
- Pull the crown out to the first or second click position (depending on the watch model, some have only one click).
- Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- Push the crown back into its normal position to start the analog timekeeping.
2.4 Setting Digital Time and Date
The US9508 watch typically features multiple buttons for digital display control. While specific button functions may vary slightly, the general procedure is as follows:
- Mode Button: Press the 'Mode' button (often located on the bottom left) repeatedly to cycle through different digital display modes (e.g., Time, Date, Alarm, Stopwatch). Stop when the digital time display is shown.
- Adjust Button: Press and hold the 'Adjust' button (often top left) until the digital display starts flashing, indicating it is in setting mode.
- Set Values: Use the 'Start/Stop' or 'Reset' buttons (often on the right side) to increase or decrease the flashing value (e.g., hours, minutes, year, month, day).
- Navigate Settings: Press the 'Mode' button again to move to the next setting parameter.
- Exit Setting Mode: Once all settings are adjusted, press the 'Adjust' button again to exit the setting mode.
3. Operating the Watch
3.1 Basic Time Display
- Analog Display: The traditional hour, minute, and second hands continuously display the current time.
- Digital Display: The digital screen typically shows the current time (in 12-hour or 24-hour format) and can be switched to display the date.
3.2 Digital Functions
The US9508 watch includes the following digital functions:
- Time Display: Shows hours, minutes, and seconds digitally.
- Date Display: Shows the current month, day, and day of the week.
- Other Modes: Depending on the specific model, additional modes such as stopwatch, alarm, or backlight may be available. Use the 'Mode' button to cycle through these.
3.3 Using the Backlight
If your watch is equipped with a backlight, press the 'Light' button (often located on the top right) to illuminate the digital display for a few seconds in low-light conditions.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water and mild soap, then wipe and dry thoroughly.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.
4.2 Battery Replacement
When the watch's analog hands stop moving or the digital display becomes dim or blank, the batteries may need replacement. This watch uses 2 Lithium Ion batteries.
- Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to avoid damaging the watch or compromising its internal components.
- If attempting self-replacement, carefully open the case back using a specialized tool, note the battery type and orientation, replace with new batteries of the same type, and securely close the case back.
