3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Rotation Modes and Independent Control

The ALTIUS watch winder offers two rotation modes and independent controls for each watch holder.

• Mode 1 (Clockwise): Rotates clockwise for 2 minutes, pauses for 6 minutes, then repeats the cycle.
• Mode 2 (Counter-clockwise): Rotates counter-clockwise for 2 minutes, pauses for 6 minutes, then repeats the cycle.

Each watch holder has its own control knob, allowing you to set different rotation modes simultaneously for multiple watches.

3.2 Smart Light-Sensing Technology

The winder features a light-sensitive sensor that automatically stops rotation in dark conditions to ensure zero noise at night. After 9 consecutive hours without light, it will resume operation to ensure sufficient winding.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Q: Why doesn't the watch winder rotate?
  A: Please check if the power adapter is properly plugged into the watch winder's power port and ensures good contact. Confirm that the watch winder is set to the working position (not "OFF").
• Q: Why doesn't the watch winder stop after working for a few minutes?
  A: This is part of the IC program settings and does not indicate damage. Typically, the winder will automatically restart after 6 minutes. For external factors, please refer to Question 1 above.
• Q: Is there a battery compartment?
  A: No, this product is not equipped with a battery compartment. It is powered via the USB-DC power cable.
• Q: Why is the Active Quiet function working?
  A: The ALTIUS automatic watch winder has a light-sensitive sensor that automatically stops in the dark to avoid noise at night. However, after 9 consecutive hours without light, it will resume regardless of the environment to ensure that the watch is sufficiently wound.
• Q: How to properly place the watch on the pillows?
  A: Remove the pillow from the turntable groove, attach the watch to the pillow, then replace the pillow into the groove. For very short straps (e.g., some women's watches), you can secure the strap firmly to make it fit your watch in the maximum extent, or reposition the pillow as shown in the diagram below.
