3.1. Battery Activation

If the display is not active upon unboxing, check for a small plastic tab protruding from the side of the watch or near a button. Gently pull and remove this tab to activate the battery. If no tab is present and the display is blank, the battery may require replacement (see Section 5.2).
3.2. Initial Power On
Once the battery is activated, the digital display should illuminate. If the display is in a power-saving mode, press any button to activate it and view the current time/date.
4. Operating Instructions
The FILA Digital Quartz Watch typically features multiple buttons for navigation and setting. While specific button labels may vary, their general functions are as follows:
- Mode Button: Used to cycle through different display modes such as Time, Date, Alarm, Stopwatch, and World Time.
- Adjust Button: Used to select specific digits or settings within a mode that you wish to change.
- Light Button: Activates the EL backlight for temporary illumination of the display.
- Start/Stop Button: Used to increment values during setting, start/stop the stopwatch, or confirm selections.
4.1. Setting Time and Date
- From the normal time display, press the Mode button repeatedly until you enter the Time Setting Mode (often indicated by a flashing digit).
- Use the Adjust button to move the flashing selection between hours, minutes, seconds, year, month, and day.
- While a digit is flashing, use the Start/Stop button to increment the value. Hold the button to rapidly advance.
- Once all settings are correct, press the Mode button again to exit the setting mode and return to the normal time display.

4.4. Water Resistance Guidelines (5 ATM)
Your FILA Digital Quartz Watch is rated for 5 ATM (50 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:
- Splashes and rain
- Showering
- Shallow swimming
Important:
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
- Not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-pressure water activities (e.g., jet skiing).
- Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the water-resistant seals.
5. Maintenance
5.1. Cleaning
To keep your watch in optimal condition, regularly wipe the case and strap with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's materials and finish.
5.2. Battery Replacement
The watch uses one LR44 battery. When the display dims, flickers, or stops functioning, it indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. It is highly recommended to have battery replacement performed by a qualified watch technician. This ensures that the watch's water resistance seals are properly re-seated and maintained after the battery compartment is opened.
5.3. Storage
When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. Prolonged exposure to these conditions can affect the watch's performance and battery life.
