3. Setup

Before initial use, ensure the watch is adequately charged and configured.

3.1 Initial Charging

Your watch is powered by light. For optimal performance, expose the watch face to a bright light source (natural sunlight is best) for several hours before first use. If the battery is completely depleted, use the included USB Solar Watch LED charging lamp.

• Connect the USB charging lamp to a power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
• Place the watch face directly onto the LED charging lamp.
• Allow the watch to charge until the battery level indicator shows a sufficient charge.

3.2 Time Zone Setting

The watch allows you to select your local time zone from a list of 31 major cities. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full user manual (not provided here) for specific button operations to set your home city. This setting is crucial for the watch to correctly interpret the received radio time signal.

3.3 Radio Signal Reception

The watch automatically attempts to receive time calibration signals daily. For best reception, place the watch near a window overnight, away from electronic devices that may cause interference. The watch supports signals from USA (WWVB), Germany (DCF), UK (MSF), and Japan (JJY 60Khz only). In areas outside these signal ranges, or if reception is poor, manual time adjustment may be necessary. Note that automatic daylight saving time adjustments may not occur in regions not covered by the supported radio transmitters.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Time Display

The watch displays time using both analog hands and a digital display. The digital display can show various information, including the day of the week, seconds, or other functions depending on the selected mode. Refer to the full user manual for instructions on switching between display modes.

4.2 Day Display Language

The digital display for the day of the week can be set to either English or German. Consult the full user manual for the procedure to change this setting.

4.3 Checking Signal Reception

You can check the success or failure of the last radio signal reception attempt using the watch's indicator. This feature helps determine if the watch is successfully synchronizing with the atomic time signal. The signal strength indicator can also show the current reception quality.

4.4 Battery Level Indication

The watch features a battery level indicator on its digital display. Monitor this indicator to ensure the watch has sufficient charge. When the low battery indicator appears, recharge the watch promptly.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Charging

To maintain optimal battery life, regularly expose the watch face to light. If the watch is stored in darkness for extended periods, the battery may deplete. Use the USB LED charging lamp for quick charging when necessary.

5.2 Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water, as steam and temperature changes can compromise the seals.

5.3 Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners, which can damage the watch's finish or seals.

6. Troubleshooting

• Time Not Synchronizing: Ensure the watch is in an area with good radio signal reception (e.g., near a window, away from interference). Verify that the correct home city/time zone is set. Attempt a manual reception if automatic reception fails.
• Low Battery Indication: Expose the watch to a strong light source or use the USB LED charging lamp until the battery level returns to normal.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Check the time zone setting. If outside a radio signal reception area, or if the signal is consistently weak, manual time adjustment may be required.
• Daylight Saving Time (DST) Issues: In regions not covered by the supported radio transmitters, manual adjustment for DST may be necessary.
