2.2 Setting the Time
Your digital watch typically has two or three buttons for setting the time. While specific button functions may vary slightly, the general procedure is as follows:
- Identify Buttons: Locate the buttons on the side of the watch case. There is usually a "Mode" button (M) and a "Set" or "Adjust" button (S). Some watches may have a third button for light or other functions.
- Enter Time Setting Mode: Press the Mode button repeatedly until the hour digits begin to flash.
- Adjust Hours: Press the Set (or Adjust) button to advance the hour. Pay attention to AM/PM indicators if present.
- Adjust Minutes: Press the Mode button again to make the minute digits flash. Then, use the Set button to adjust the minutes.
- Exit Setting Mode: Press the Mode button one more time, or wait a few seconds for the watch to automatically exit the setting mode.
If the watch has a date display, similar steps will apply to set the month and day.
3. Operating Your Watch
3.1 Reading the Time
The watch features a clear digital display that shows the time in hours and minutes. The time format (12-hour or 24-hour) is typically pre-set or can be changed during the time setting process.
3.2 Activating the Light-Up Feature
One of the main features of your Sonic watch is its light-up dial. To activate this feature:
- Locate the dedicated light button, usually on the side of the watch case.
- Press this button firmly. The watch dial will illuminate for a few seconds, making the time visible in low-light conditions.
- The light will automatically turn off after a short period to conserve battery life.
