3. Watch Controls Overview

The watch features three main controls on the side of the case:

• 2 O'Clock Button: Used for time and date announcements, and for checking time synchronization status.
• Crown: This is a dummy crown and should not be used to adjust the watch hands. Adjusting the crown manually will cause the analog hands to become unsynchronized with the spoken time.
• 4 O'Clock Button: Used to announce the alarm time/status and to enter the setting mode for various functions.

4. Setup and Initial Use

4.1. Initial Power-On

Upon receiving your watch, it may already be running. If the watch hands are not moving, it might be in a power-saving state or require activation. Press any button to 'wake up' the watch.

4.2. Automatic Time Synchronization

The watch is designed to automatically synchronize its time with the atomic clock signal. This process typically occurs overnight. Ensure the watch is placed in an area where it can receive a clear radio signal, away from electronic interference.

To check the synchronization status:

1. Press the 2 O'Clock Button three times.
2. The watch will announce "USA time updated" or "USA time not updated."

4.3. Setting Time Zone

The watch supports four US time zones: Pacific, Mountain, Central, and Eastern. To set your time zone:

1. Press and hold the 4 O'Clock Button for 3 seconds until the watch announces "Setting Mode."
2. Press the 4 O'Clock Button repeatedly until you hear the time zone setting announcement.
3. Use the 2 O'Clock Button to cycle through the available time zones (Pacific, Mountain, Central, Eastern).
4. Once your desired time zone is announced, stop pressing buttons. The watch will automatically save the setting and exit setting mode after a few seconds of inactivity.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1. Announcing Time and Date

6. Maintenance

6.1. Battery Replacement

The watch uses one CR2032 battery (included). When the voice becomes faint or the watch stops functioning, it's time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and function.

6.2. Care Instructions

• Water Resistance: This watch is not water resistant. Avoid exposure to water, moisture, or high humidity.
• Cleaning: Wipe the watch with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use chemical cleaners.
• Temperature: Avoid extreme temperatures, both hot and cold, as they can affect battery life and watch performance.
• Magnetic Fields: Keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields, which can interfere with its movement and radio signal reception.

6.3. Expansion Band Care

The expansion band is designed for comfort and ease of wear. To maintain its flexibility and appearance:

• Clean the band periodically with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and oils.
• Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the metal finish.
• Do not overstretch the band excessively, as this can weaken the links over time.
