3.1 Setting the Time and Date

To set the time and date on your MK9156 watch, follow these steps:

1. Pull the Crown Out: Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 2. This is typically the first click.
2. Set the Date: Rotate the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the date. If your watch has a quick-set date function, the date will change independently of the hour hand. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic date change mechanism.
3. Pull the Crown Further Out: Pull the crown out to position 3 (the second click). The second hand will stop moving.
4. Set the Time: Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands. Continue rotating until the correct time is displayed. Pay attention to AM/PM if setting the date, as the date changes at midnight.
5. Push the Crown In: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back into position 1 (normal operating position) to start the watch and ensure water resistance.

4. Operating

Your Michael Kors MK9156 watch is designed for straightforward operation. Once the time and date are set, the watch will function continuously. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in to maintain water resistance during wear.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Water Resistance

This watch has a water resistance rating of 20 ATM (200 meters). This makes it suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and recreational diving. However, it is not suitable for high-impact water sports or deep-sea diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.2 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
• For silicone straps, mild soap and water can be used, then rinse thoroughly and dry.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaning materials.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, consider the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Running: If the watch has stopped, ensure the crown is fully pushed in. For quartz watches, a depleted battery is a common cause. Contact an authorized service center for battery replacement.
• Date Not Changing: Check if the time is set correctly, especially the AM/PM cycle. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM. If the issue persists, consult a service professional.
• Condensation Under Crystal: This may indicate a loss of water resistance. Avoid further contact with water and seek immediate professional service to prevent internal damage.
