4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all desired settings (hours, minutes, 12/24-hour format, month, date, day) are correctly set.
5. Press the MODE button one last time to exit the setting mode.

Bracelet Adjustment

The gold-tone link bracelet features an adjustable sliding buckle closure. To adjust the length, carefully open the clasp and slide the buckle along the bracelet to achieve a comfortable fit. Ensure the clasp is securely closed after adjustment.

Operating Instructions

Digital Time Display

The LCD display shows the current time, seconds, day, and date. In normal time mode, you can typically cycle through different display options (e.g., 12-hour vs. 24-hour format) by pressing the MODE button briefly.

Military Time (24-Hour Format)

To switch between 12-hour and 24-hour (military) time format, enter the time setting mode as described in the 'Setting Digital Time and Date' section. When the hour digits are flashing, press the RESET button to toggle between 12H and 24H display. Confirm your selection by pressing MODE.

Stopwatch Function

1. Press the MODE button until the stopwatch display appears (usually '00:00:00').
2. Press the RESET button to start the stopwatch.
3. Press the RESET button again to pause the stopwatch.
4. To resume, press RESET. To reset to zero, press the MODE button while the stopwatch is paused.

2. Use the RESET button to adjust the alarm hour and minute.
3. Press the MODE button to move between hour and minute settings.
4. Once the alarm time is set, press MODE to exit.
5. To activate or deactivate the alarm, typically press the RESET button while in the alarm display mode. An alarm icon will usually appear when activated.

Backlight

To illuminate the digital display in low-light conditions, press the LIGHT button (usually located on the upper right side of the watch case). The backlight will remain on for a few seconds.

Maintenance

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the finish.

Battery Replacement

Your watch is powered by a quartz movement and requires a battery. When the watch stops or the digital display becomes dim, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Mineral Crystal Care

While the mineral crystal lens is scratch-resistant, it is not scratch-proof. Avoid contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces to prevent damage.

Water Resistance Guidelines

Your Armitron 20/5453 watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This rating indicates that the watch is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but it is not suitable for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the buttons or crown while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water seal.

Troubleshooting

• Analog Hands Not Moving: Check if the crown is pushed in completely. If it is, the battery for the analog movement may need replacement.
• Digital Display Blank or Dim: The battery for the digital module may need replacement.
• Incorrect Time/Date Display: Refer to the 'Setting Digital Time and Date' section to re-set the watch. Ensure the correct 12/24-hour format is selected.
• Alarm Sounds Unexpectedly: Verify that the alarm function is deactivated if not desired.
