Setup

1. Adjusting the Strap

The LIGE LG9949A-HS-UK watch features a comfortable Milanese stainless steel mesh strap. To ensure a perfect fit, the strap length can be adjusted using the provided watch link tool.

1. Locate the clasp on the strap.
2. Use the adjustment tool (a small lever or pointed tool) to lift the locking mechanism on the clasp. This will release the clasp from its current position on the mesh.
3. Slide the clasp along the mesh strap to the desired length. Ensure the watch fits snugly but comfortably on your wrist.
4. Once the desired length is achieved, press the locking mechanism back down firmly to secure the clasp in place. Ensure it clicks securely to prevent accidental opening.

2. Setting Time and Date

Your LIGE watch is equipped with a precise Japanese quartz movement and features a date display. Follow these steps to set the correct time and date:

1. Setting the Date: Gently pull the crown (the small knob on the right side of the watch case) out to the first click position. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise until the correct date is displayed in the date window.
2. Setting the Time: Pull the crown out further to the second click position. Turn the crown to move the hour and minute hands until the correct time is displayed. To ensure accuracy, it is recommended to set the time a few minutes ahead and then push the crown back in when a time signal (e.g., from a radio or phone) reaches that exact time.
3. Finalizing Settings: Once both the time and date are set, push the crown back in completely to its original position. This will engage the watch movement and start the watch running.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the aesthetic appeal and longevity of your LIGE watch, regular cleaning is recommended:

• Wipe the watch case and crystal regularly with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove dust and fingerprints.
• For the stainless steel mesh strap, a slightly damp cloth can be used to clean off dirt. Ensure to dry the strap immediately and thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots or corrosion.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or internal components.

2. Water Resistance Guidelines

The LIGE LG9949A-HS-UK watch is designed with a water resistance rating of 3ATM (30 meters / 98 feet). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for daily use and can withstand:

• Accidental splashes (e.g., from hand washing).
• Rain.
• Brief immersion in water (e.g., accidental drops into shallow water).

Important Precautions:

• Do NOT press any buttons or pull the crown while the watch is submerged in water or wet. This can compromise the water seal and lead to water ingress.
• The watch is NOT suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, snorkeling, or any activities involving prolonged water immersion or high-pressure water exposure.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, as this can affect the water resistance seals.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your LIGE LG9949A-HS-UK watch, please refer to the following common solutions before seeking professional assistance:

• Watch not running:
  • Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to its original position.
  • If the watch still does not run, the battery (1 LR44) may need replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician.
• Date not changing:
  • Ensure the time is set correctly, especially passing midnight, as the date advances automatically at this point.
  • If the date is stuck, try resetting it by pulling the crown to the first click position and adjusting the date manually.
• Strap adjustment difficulty:
  • Ensure the locking mechanism on the clasp is fully lifted before attempting to slide it along the mesh strap.
  • Apply gentle, even pressure when securing the locking mechanism back down to ensure it clicks firmly into place.
• Condensation under the crystal:
  • Small amounts of condensation may appear temporarily due to sudden temperature changes. If it persists or large droplets form, this indicates a breach in water resistance. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional repair.
