3. Setup

3.1 Initial Charge

Your Emporio Armani World Explorer watch is powered by light. Before initial use, or if the watch has stopped, expose the dial to a strong light source (natural sunlight is ideal) for several hours. A full charge can provide approximately 5 months of operation. Ensure the watch is regularly exposed to light to maintain its charge.

3.2 Setting the Time and Date

1. Pull out the crown to position 2 (second click) to set the time. The second hand will stop.
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the desired time is set. Ensure the AM/PM is correctly set if your watch has a 24-hour indicator or date changes at midnight.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 (first click) to set the date.
4. Rotate the crown to adjust the date.
5. Push the crown back to position 0 (normal position) to start the watch.

3.3 Bracelet Adjustment

The stainless steel bracelet can be adjusted for a customized fit by adding or removing links. This procedure typically requires specialized tools and is best performed by a professional jeweler or watch repair service to avoid damage.

The chronograph function allows you to measure elapsed time.

1. To Start: Press pusher A (top pusher) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. To Stop: Press pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be indicated by the chronograph hands.
3. To Reset: After stopping, press pusher B (bottom pusher) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.
4. Split Time (if applicable): Some chronographs allow for split time measurement. Consult the specific movement instructions if your model supports this.

4.2 Water Resistance Guidelines

Your watch has a water resistance rating of 10 ATM (100 meters / 330 feet). This means it is suitable for:

• Everyday use and splashes.
• Bathing and showering.
• Swimming and snorkeling.

Important: This watch is not designed for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth.
• For the stainless steel bracelet, use a soft brush and mild soapy water to clean between the links, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

5.2 Solar Cell Care and Storage

To ensure optimal performance of the solar movement:

• Avoid prolonged storage in dark places. If stored in darkness, the watch may stop.
• When not wearing the watch, store it in a location where it can receive light, such as near a window, but avoid direct, intense sunlight for extended periods to prevent overheating.
• Store the watch in its original box or a watch case to protect it from dust and scratches.
