The FIVE SENSES Atomic English Talking Watch, designed for user-friendliness and readability, catering to visually impaired and elderly individuals.
Setup
1. Battery Installation
The watch comes with one C battery pre-installed. If the watch is not functioning or the voice announcements are weak, the battery may need replacement. Please refer to the 'Maintenance' section for battery replacement instructions.
2. Initial Time Setting and Atomic Signal Reception
This watch is designed to automatically set its time and calendar by receiving an atomic radio signal. This feature is primarily effective in the United Kingdom and the USA (from Ft. Collins, Colorado).
- For users in the UK and USA, the watch will attempt to synchronize with the atomic signal daily, typically at 3:00 AM. Ensure the watch is placed in an area with good signal reception, away from electronic interference.
- If you are outside the atomic signal range (e.g., Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, or other countries), the watch will not automatically set the time or calendar. In such cases, the time must be set manually. The calendar function will not operate without an atomic signal.
The watch automatically updates its time daily at 3:00 AM via atomic radio signal. Voice announcements include time, date, and alarm status.

3. Manual Time Zone Setting (if required)
Even with atomic signal reception, you may need to manually set your time zone. Refer to the detailed instructions provided in the full manual for specific button sequences to adjust the time zone.
Operating Instructions
1. Announcing Time and Date
To hear the current time, day, date, month, and year, press the designated talking button on the watch. The watch will announce the information in a clear, loud male voice.
2. Alarm Function
The watch includes an alarm feature. To set or check the alarm status, refer to the specific instructions in the comprehensive user guide. The watch can announce the alarm time and whether the alarm is active or off.
3. Daylight Saving Time Adjustment
For regions that observe Daylight Saving Time and are within atomic signal range, the watch will automatically adjust for these changes.
The luminous dial of the watch glows in the dark, making it easy to read for visually impaired individuals.
Maintenance
1. Battery Replacement
The watch uses one C battery. When the voice becomes faint or the watch stops functioning, it is time to replace the battery. You can purchase replacement batteries from www.timechant.com or contact customer service for assistance with battery replacement.
2. Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish. The watch is not waterproof; avoid submerging it in water.
3. General Care
Store your watch in a dry place when not in use. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.
Troubleshooting
- Watch not receiving atomic signal: If you are outside the designated atomic signal coverage areas (UK, USA), the watch will not automatically set. You will need to set the time manually. Ensure the watch is placed near a window or in an open area for better signal reception if within range.
- Incorrect time displayed or announced: If the watch is within atomic signal range, allow it to synchronize overnight. If the issue persists, or if you are outside the signal range, manually adjust the time.
- Voice is faint or unclear: This typically indicates a low battery. Replace the C battery as described in the 'Maintenance' section.
- Analog hands do not match voice time: The FIVE SENSES Atomic English Talking Watch is designed so that the analog time and voice time are always synchronized. If a discrepancy occurs, it may indicate a need for battery replacement or a reset. Refer to the full manual for reset procedures.
