Congratulations
We would like to congratulate you on having purchased this KHS Inceptor Digital, which is a
high-quality sports- and outdoor-watch. This Inceptor Digital watch offers you high-calibre
precision with highest-quality materials and components as well as a ruggedness against
shocks, variations in temperatures, water and dust.
The KHS Inceptor Digital performs the following functions:
• digital time indication home time (with weekday and date)
• chronograph / stopp watch functions (ST) with split timer (SP) up to 1/100 second
• 12 or 24 hour indication
• alarm and chime (AL), daily and hourly
• background illumination
To ensure that your KHS Inceptor Digital operates with perfect precision for many years to come,
we advise you to pay very careful attention to the information provided in this user manual.
Please read the instructions pertaining speci cally to your KHS Inceptor on the following pages.
Buttons and Display Modes
Buttons:
S1 – „Start/Stop“

The watch has 4 display modes:
home time,
chronograph / stop watch (ST),
alarm / chime (AL) and
the setting display mode.
Push button S3 once to change from one display mode to another. In any setting mode, if there is
no key manipulation for approximately 1-2 minutes, the watch will automatically save the entered
data and exit the setting mode.
Home time display
Your KHS Inceptor Digital shows your set home time in the standard  rst display mode. The time
indication can be changed from a 12 hour to a 24 hour indication. The button S4 activates the
background illumination for 3 seconds in every display mode.
To set the time and calendar
Push button S3 (MODE | ADJUST) until the setting mode is displayed (the seconds digits blink). The
button S1 (START | STOP) resets the seconds indication back to „00“. You can now toggle between
the diff erent indication elements by pressing S2 (SPLIT | RESET) repeatedly to choose the digits you
want to adjust (the active element blinks).
The display elements are selected in the following order:
Hour -> Minute -> Month -> Day -> Weekday - > Second.
You can now adjust the selected display element by pressing S1 until set correctly.

display element and press S1 repeatedly, until the indication shows „H“ (24h indication),
„P“ (12h indication) or „A“ (12h indication). Now set the correct time.
Note:
Pressing the button S1 while „seconds“ are selected in setting mode will reset the seconds digits to
„00“ if the current second indication ranges between „00“ and „29“.
If the second indication ranges between „30“ and „59“, pushing S1 will reset the seconds to „00“ and
add „1“ to the minutes indication.
Note:
Weekdays are not automatically set matching the set date. Please be careful to set the correct
weekday corresponding to the set date separately.
To exit the setting mode, press the button S3 (MODE | ADJUST).

By pressing S2 again, counting will be resumed. S1 stops the counting. To show the total counting

Pressing S2 a second time will reset the total time to zero.

Alarm | Chime | Continuation
The alarm tune continues for 20 seconds and then shuts off by itself. While the alarm is ringing,
press either button S1 or S2 to stop the tune.
While the alarm is ringing, press button S3 to activate the SNOOZE mode ( blinks). By doing so,
the alarm will stop and ring again exactly  ve minutes later. You can reactivate the SNOOZE mode
as often as desired by simply pressing S3 while the alarm is ringing again.
Watertightness
Your KHS Inceptor Digital is watertight up to 10 ATM. For that reason, your watch is suited, of
course, for swimming, bathing, car washing, hand washing or any other contact with water,
but the watch is not suitable for diving.
To make sure that your KHS Inceptor Digital remains watertight, we recommend you to take it to
an authorised KHS dealer to have them check all the seals and the crystal periodically. We
also advise you to have the battery replaced every 2 years.
Do NOT allow your KHS Inceptor Digital to come in contact with chemicals. In order to ensure
that your watch remains fully functional for a long time, you should protect your watch from
extreme temperatures and vibrations.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that the push buttons are not actuvated, when the watch is
immersed in water or still wet. After use in saltwater, you should rinse your watch thoroughly
using freshwater and then allow it to dry completely.
Battery
This KHS Inceptor Digital possesses a high-quality digital movement that is battery powered in
such that winding is not necessary. According to the movement‘s manufacturer,
the battery should last 24 months with a rate variation of just approx. ±0.66 seconds a day.
You only have to set the time and date.
Since the battery is installed by the manufacture to check the functionality of the
movement, its expected useful life may be less than cited due to time in storage. If the
battery is discharged, it should always be replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent
any possible battery leakage. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an
authorised KHS dealer.
IMPORTANT: Even though the manufacture of the movement cites a service life of up to 24
months for the digital movement installed in this KHS Inceptor Digital, we would advise you
to have the battery replaced every 12 to 18 months! Doing so ensures that there is no possible
battery leakage, which could result in requiring the entire movement to be repaired or replaced.
Battery | Continuation
CAUTION: Do not take the battery out of your watch on your own. If it should be necessary to
remove the battery, make sure that it is out of reach of children. Seek medical
attention immediately if the battery is swallowed.
Never short-circuit, open or expose the battery to heat or throw into  re, since it could
otherwise explode, overheat or cause a  re.
CAUTION: The battery cannot be recharged. Attempting to recharge it may result in
battery acid leaking or damage to the battery.
While the alarm is ringing, press button S3 to activate the SNOOZE mode ( blinks). By doing so,
Batteries and all other electronic watch components do not
belong in normal household waste and, thus, must always
disposed of within the framework of existing legislation. If
you want to dispose of your KHS Inceptor Digital, please contact
your KHS authorised dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center.
