Setup and Initial Use
Setting Time and Date
- Pull the Crown: Gently pull the crown out to position 2 (for date adjustment) or position 3 (for time adjustment).
- Rotate the Crown: Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to set the desired time or date. Ensure you pass 12 AM/PM correctly for the date to change at midnight.
- Push the Crown Back: Once set, push the crown firmly back into its original position to secure the settings and ensure water resistance.
Altimeter Calibration
The altimeter requires calibration for accurate readings. It is recommended to calibrate it at a location with a known altitude (e.g., from a map, GPS device, or local landmark).
- Activate Calibration Mode: Press and hold the designated altimeter pusher (usually the top right button). The altimeter hand will begin to move.
- Adjust Altitude: While holding the pusher, use the other pusher (if applicable) or rotate the crown to adjust the altimeter hand to the known altitude.
- Save Calibration: Release the altimeter pusher to save the calibrated altitude. The altimeter will now display the current altitude relative to your calibrated setting.
Operating Instructions
Using the Altimeter
To read the current altitude:
- Instant Reading: Briefly press the altimeter pusher. The altimeter hand will move to indicate the current altitude.
- Unit Display: The watch can display altitude in either meters or feet, as indicated on the dial's sub-scales.
INDIGLO Night-Light
To activate the INDIGLO night-light for illumination in low-light conditions, simply press the crown (or the designated pusher, if different). The entire dial will illuminate evenly.
Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch
To keep your watch in good condition, regularly wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap material.
Battery Replacement
When the watch battery runs low, you may notice the watch stopping or exhibiting irregular behavior. Battery replacement should always be performed by a qualified watch technician. This ensures that the watch's water resistance is maintained and prevents potential damage to the internal components.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (WR 100M). This means it is suitable for recreational swimming and snorkeling. However, it is crucial not to operate the pushers or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal and lead to internal damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Watch not running | Dead battery | Replace battery by a professional. |
| Altimeter inaccurate | Needs calibration or environmental changes. | Recalibrate altimeter to a known altitude. |
| Date not changing at midnight | Incorrect AM/PM setting. | Advance the time by 12 hours. |
| INDIGLO light not working | Low battery or malfunction. | Check battery or contact support. |
