2. Setup

2.1 Initial Activation

Your Cirbic JB12 Talking Watch comes with batteries installed and is ready for immediate use. If the watch does not respond to button presses, it may be in a power-saving 'sleep' mode. To activate the watch:

• Press and hold the single button on the right side of the watch for approximately 5 seconds until you hear a voice announcement. This will wake the watch from sleep mode.

2.2 Setting Time and Date

The Cirbic JB12 features a simplified one-button setting mechanism. Follow these steps to set the time and date:

1. Ensure the watch is active (not in sleep mode).
2. Press and hold the single button for approximately 5 seconds until you hear an announcement indicating entry into 'Setting Mode'. The watch will typically announce the current hour.
3. To adjust the hour: While in setting mode, each short press of the button will advance the hour. The watch will announce the hour as it changes.
4. To confirm the hour and move to minutes: Press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds. The watch will announce the current minute.
5. To adjust the minutes: Each short press of the button will advance the minute.
6. To confirm minutes and move to year: Press and hold the button for approximately 3 seconds. The watch will announce the current year.
7. Continue this pattern (short press to adjust, 3-second hold to confirm and move to next setting) for the Year, Month, and Day.
8. After setting the Day, press and hold the button for approximately 5 seconds to exit 'Setting Mode'. The watch will confirm that settings are saved.

If no button is pressed for an extended period during setting mode, the watch may automatically exit setting mode, saving any changes made up to that point.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Battery Replacement

The Cirbic JB12 Talking Watch is powered by standard watch batteries. When the voice becomes faint or the watch stops functioning, it is time to replace the battery.

• Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to prevent damage to the internal components and ensure water resistance (if applicable).
• If attempting replacement yourself, carefully open the watch back using a suitable tool. Note the battery type and orientation before removal. Replace with an identical new battery.

4.2 Cleaning and Care

• Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for prolonged periods, or strong magnetic fields.
• While the watch is designed for daily wear, avoid submerging it in water unless explicitly stated as water-resistant for swimming.
