Setup
Initial Power-On and Automatic Time Setting

- Atomic Signal Reception: Upon initial power-on or after a battery change, the watch will attempt to receive the atomic radio signal to set the time automatically.

Maintenance
Battery Replacement
The FIVE SENSES Atomic Talking Watch uses one CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. When the display dims, the voice becomes weak, or the watch stops functioning, it's time to replace the battery.
- Carefully remove the back cover of the watch using a small screwdriver or watch case opener.
- Locate the CR2032 battery. Note its orientation (+/-).
- Gently remove the old battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the correct polarity.
- Replace the back cover securely.

Caution: Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Keep batteries out of reach of children.
