Setup

Your Calypso Sport Watch K5874/2 comes with a pre-installed C battery. No user installation is required for initial use. If the display is blank, press any button to activate it. If the watch does not respond, the battery may need replacement (refer to the Maintenance section).

1. Press the MODE button repeatedly until the time setting mode is displayed (often indicated by flashing digits).
2. Use the ADJUST or SET button to select the digit you wish to change (e.g., hours, minutes, year, month, day).
3. Use the START/STOP or RESET button to increase or decrease the selected value.
4. Once all settings are correct, press the MODE button again to exit the setting mode.

Refer to the small diagram on the watch case back or included quick start guide for exact button functions if available.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the polycarbonate case and plastic strap.

2. Water Resistance (50 Meters)

Your Calypso Sport Watch K5874/2 is water-resistant to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use, including splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as showering. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or prolonged water activities. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

3. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a C battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is properly maintained. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void any warranty and compromise the watch's water resistance.

4. Storage

When not in use for extended periods, store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields, which can affect its accuracy.

Troubleshooting

• Watch display is blank or dim:
  • The battery may be depleted. Refer to the "Battery Replacement" section in Maintenance.
  • Ensure the watch is not in a power-saving mode (if applicable, though not a stated feature for this model).
• Time is incorrect:
  • The time may need to be reset. Refer to the "Setting Time and Date" section in Setup.
  • Exposure to strong magnetic fields can affect accuracy.
• Buttons are unresponsive:
  • Ensure the watch is dry. Do not operate buttons when wet.
  • A low battery can sometimes cause unresponsive buttons.
  • If the issue persists, a soft reset (if available, by pressing all buttons simultaneously for a few seconds) or professional inspection may be required.
• Water appears inside the watch:
  • This indicates a breach in the water resistance seal. Stop using the watch immediately and seek professional service to prevent further damage.
