Maintenance

1. Water Resistance

The TICCI T8VB watch is rated 50 meters (5 ATM) water-resistant. This means it can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is suitable for continuous hand washing. However, it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving, especially in hot water, as steam and high temperatures can damage the watch's seals.

2. Cleaning

Clean the watch and strap regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the finish or seals.

3. Battery Replacement

The watch uses one CR2 battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it's time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified technician to ensure water resistance is maintained. If replacing yourself, carefully open the back cover, replace the battery with a new CR2 battery, and ensure the gasket is properly seated before securely closing the cover.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not turning on or display is blank: Check battery. If recently replaced, ensure it's inserted correctly. If old, replace with a new CR2 battery.
• Alarms not sounding/vibrating: Ensure the alarm is set to ON and the correct alarm type (sound, vibration, or both) is selected. Check if the watch is in lockout mode.
• Buttons unresponsive: The watch may be in lockout mode. Press and hold Button B and Button C simultaneously for 2 seconds to unlock. If still unresponsive, try removing and reinserting the battery to perform a soft reset.
• Timekeeping inaccuracy: If the watch gains or loses significant time, a battery replacement may be needed, or it could indicate an internal issue.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately stop using the watch and seek professional service. Do not attempt to dry it with heat, as this can cause further damage.
