Setup

1. Initial Setup and Time Setting

Upon receiving your watch, you may need to set the current time and date. The watch features four buttons for navigation and setting:

• LIGHT: Activates the backlight for visibility in low-light conditions.
• MODE: Cycles through different display modes (Time, Date, Alarm, Stopwatch, Timer).
• ST/STOP: Used for starting/stopping functions in Stopwatch mode or adjusting settings.
• RESET: Used for resetting functions or confirming settings.

To set the time and date:

1. Press the MODE button repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (often indicated by flashing digits).
2. Use the ST/STOP button to adjust the hour, minute, or other flashing segments.
3. Use the RESET button to move to the next segment (e.g., from hour to minute, or from time to date).
4. Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button to exit the setting mode.

2. Adjusting the Clip Band

The Shark Clip band is designed for easy adjustment to ensure a snug and comfortable fit on your wrist. The strap features a durable clip system similar to a seatbelt.

1. To loosen the strap, gently pull the strap through the buckle until the desired length is achieved.
2. To tighten, pull the free end of the strap until the watch fits securely on your wrist.
3. Ensure the clip mechanism is fully engaged to prevent accidental unfastening during wear.

Operating Instructions

1. Basic Time Display

The primary display shows the time (hour, minute, second) and day of the week. The watch supports both 12-hour and 24-hour formats, which can be toggled in the time setting mode.

2. Night Vision (Backlight)

Press the LIGHT button located on the top left side of the watch to illuminate the display. The backlight will remain active for a few seconds, providing clear visibility in dark environments.

3. Water Resistance

The Freestyle Shark Classic Clip watch is water resistant up to 300 feet (100 meters). This makes it suitable for showering, swimming, and snorkeling. It is not recommended for scuba diving. Ensure all buttons are not pressed while the watch is submerged in water to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

To keep your watch in optimal condition, clean it regularly. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the case and strap. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or seals.

2. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a long-lasting battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. Due to the watch's water resistance features, it is highly recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician or an authorized service center. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may compromise the watch's water resistance and void the warranty.

3. Storage

When not in use, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures can shorten battery life and affect the watch's internal components.
