Setup Instructions

Your Cirbic Talking Watch comes with pre-installed batteries and is initially set to the Eastern Standard Time (EST) timezone. The watch is designed to set itself automatically overnight by synchronizing with an atomic clock signal. To ensure accurate time, you only need to set your correct timezone.

Setting the Timezone:

1. Locate the timezone setting button. (Refer to the diagram in the full instruction leaflet for exact button location).
2. Press and hold the timezone setting button until the watch announces the current timezone.
3. Continue pressing the button briefly to cycle through the available timezones:
   • Pacific Time (PT)
   • Mountain Time (MT)
   • Central Time (CT)
   • Eastern Time (ET)
4. Release the button when your desired timezone is announced. The watch will then adjust its hands to the correct time for that zone. This process may take a few minutes as the hands rotate.

Important Note: This watch is designed to operate within the continental USA time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern). It does not support Hawaii or Alaska time zones, nor does it function outside of North America for atomic time synchronization.

Operating Instructions

The Cirbic Talking Watch is designed for simple operation to provide time and date announcements.

Announcing the Time:

• To hear the current time, press the button located at the 2 o'clock position on the watch case. The watch will announce the time in a clear male voice with an American accent.

Announcing the Date:

• To hear the current date, press the button located at the 4 o'clock position on the watch case. The watch will announce the date.

The expandable strap allows for easy donning and removal of the watch, which is beneficial for users who may have difficulty with traditional clasps.

Maintenance

Battery Replacement:

The watch operates on a standard watch battery. If the voice announcements become faint or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function. Refer to the full instruction leaflet for specific battery type and replacement procedures.

Cleaning:

To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or internal components. The watch is not waterproof; avoid submerging it in water.

Troubleshooting Guide

• Watch not announcing time/date or announcements are faint: This typically indicates a low battery. Replace the battery as per the maintenance section.
• Watch hands are spinning or time is incorrect: The watch may be attempting to synchronize with the atomic clock signal or the timezone may be incorrectly set. Ensure you are within one of the four supported continental USA time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern). If the issue persists, try manually re-synchronizing by following the timezone setting steps.
• Watch does not work outside continental USA: The atomic time synchronization feature relies on signals broadcast within the continental United States. The watch's self-setting function will not operate in Hawaii, Alaska, or international locations. Manual time setting may be required in such areas, though the talking function should still work.
• Voice is hard to discern: Ensure the watch is held close enough to your ear. If the voice remains unclear, it might be a sign of a low battery.
