5. Troubleshooting

• Watch not setting time automatically: Ensure the correct time zone is set. Place the watch near a window, preferably on a higher floor, overnight for optimal atomic signal reception. Avoid placing it near electronic devices that might interfere with the signal.
• Incorrect time displayed: Verify the time zone setting. If the atomic signal is consistently weak, consider using the manual time setting option.
• No voice announcement or weak voice: Check the battery level. A low battery can affect voice clarity and volume. Replace the CR2032 battery if necessary.
• Buttons not responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not specified for this model). Check for physical damage or debris around the buttons. If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be needed.
