1. Crown (Middle Right): Used to adjust the time and date.
2. Pusher A (Top Right): Used to start and stop the chronograph stopwatch.
3. Pusher B (Bottom Right): Used to reset the chronograph stopwatch.
4. Date Window (3 o'clock position): Displays the current date.
5. Chronograph Minute Sub-dial (9 o'clock position): Measures elapsed minutes during chronograph operation.
6. 24-Hour / Moon Phase Sub-dial (6 o'clock position): Displays the 24-hour time and indicates day/night (moon phase).

3. Setup Instructions

3.1. Setting the Time

1. Pull the crown (middle right) out to the second position (farthest out).
2. Rotate the crown to move the hour and minute hands clockwise until the correct time is displayed. Pay attention to the 24-hour sub-dial to distinguish between AM and PM for accurate moon phase indication.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into the first position (normal operating position).

3.2. Setting the Date

1. Pull the crown (middle right) out to the first position (one click out).
2. Rotate the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the date in the date window.
3. Avoid setting the date between 9:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may interfere with the automatic date change mechanism. If the date needs to be set during this period, first set the time outside this range, adjust the date, then reset the time.
4. Once the date is set, push the crown back into the first position (normal operating position).

3.3. Setting the Moon Phase / 24-Hour Indicator

The 24-hour sub-dial (6 o'clock position) automatically synchronizes with the main time setting. As you set the main time, the 24-hour hand will move accordingly, indicating AM (sun icon) or PM (moon icon). There is no separate adjustment for this feature.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Using the Chronograph (Stopwatch)

1. Start: Press Pusher A (top right) to start the chronograph. The main second hand will begin to move, and the chronograph minute sub-dial (9 o'clock) will track elapsed minutes.
2. Stop: Press Pusher A again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time will be displayed.
3. Reset: After stopping the chronograph, press Pusher B (bottom right) to reset all chronograph hands to their zero positions.

4.2. Water Resistance (3ATM)

Your LIGE LG8974 watch is rated for 3ATM (30 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use, such as hand washing, rain, or accidental splashes. It is not suitable for showering, bathing, swimming, diving, or any water sports. Do not operate the crown or pushers when the watch is wet or submerged.

4.3. Luminous Effect

The hands and hour markers of your watch feature a luminous coating. After exposure to light, they will glow in the dark, allowing for readability in low-light conditions.

5. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture.
• Water Exposure: If the watch comes into contact with water, wipe it dry immediately. Do not press any buttons or pull the crown while the watch is wet.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures (above 60°C / 140°F or below 0°C / 32°F) or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the movement and battery life.
• Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case, strap, or seals.
• Magnetic Fields: Avoid placing the watch near strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, refrigerators, mobile phones), which can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
• Battery Replacement: When the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically (indicating low battery), have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself.

6. Troubleshooting

• Watch not running: Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is, the battery may need replacement.
• Time or Date incorrect: Refer to Section 3 "Setup Instructions" to reset the time and date. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment.
• Chronograph hands not resetting to zero: This may indicate a need for calibration or service. Try pressing Pusher B firmly. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
• Condensation inside the watch: This indicates a breach in water resistance. Immediately seek professional service to prevent damage to the movement.
