Speaks the time and date in a clear voice with radio controlled accuracy
Thank you for purchasing your
Lifemax Chronograph Style
Talking Atomic Watch. Your
watch is radio controlled,
enabling it to set the time and
date automatically, as well as
adjust for daylight savings. It
announces the time and date in
a clear, English accent and can
be switched between male or
female voice.
Your watch is preset to receive
the UK atomic time signal. The
UK transmitter is located in
Anthorn, Cumbria and
broadcasts up to 620 miles
(approx 1,000km). In addition
to the UK, an atomic signal is
available in Germany, Japan and USA (Pacific, Mountain, Central and Eastern).
In regions where an atomic signal cannot be received, the time can be set manually.
The date function is only available when the watch has received the atomic signal.
IMPORTANT- THIS WATCH IS IN POWER SAVING MODE WHEN RECEIVED
In the power saving mode the hands are stopped at the 1 o’clock position.
To turn the watch on, press and hold the button at 2 o’clock until the hands start
to spin. The hands will stop when they match the internal timekeeping.
To return the watch to power saving mode, press and hold B2 and B4 at the same time until the second hand starts spinning.
Button Functions
The following functions are applicable when the watch is in NORMAL mode
B2: Located at 2 o’clock, the watch will announce
the time when pressed once and the date when
pressed twice. If pressed three times, the watch will
announce the country signal it is set to receive and
whether this has been updated.
B4: Located at 4 o’clock, when pressed the watch will
announce the alarm time and whether the alarm is
on or o. Hold this button to enter the setting mode.
C: Located at 3 o’clock, pulling out the crown will stop
the watch and reset the hands. You should not use

Caring for your watch
Your watch is not water-resistant and should not be immersed in water. Should the
watch accidentally become wet, wipe dry quickly and do not operate until dry.
When not being used for a long period of time, keep the watch in a cool dry place.
When your watch is not being worn please ensure no metal parts of the strap are in
contact with the back of the watch case, as this can aect the update of the atomic
time signal.
Battery Replacement
If the watch hands move one step for every two seconds or have all stopped at
12 and there is no talking function, the battery is low and requires replacing. It is
recommended that this watch be returned to Lifemax for any battery replacement or
watch service that is needed. This service is available for £15, and we will return your
watch back to you free of charge.
Please see instructions below for guidance on battery replacement. This watch uses a CR2032 type
battery.
a. Remove the four screws on the back of the watch with a small cross headed
screwdriver.
b. Remove the watch back (speaker) making sure you do not lose the waterproof seal.
c. Taking care not to damage the two springs that make contact with the speaker,
release the battery clip from the right hand side.
d. Remove the battery and insert a replacement CR2032 noting the polarity
(positive faced up).
e. Push the battery down into the clip, being careful no to bend the casing. Replace the watch back
(speaker) making sure the waterproof seal is correctly in place.
f. Refit and tighten the four screws.
Following battery replacement it will be necessary to restart the watch. Please refer to
‘Resynchronising Watch Hands’ for guidance.
Manual Atomic Time Update
Your watch should update at 3am every morning. Should you wish to manually request
an update please press and hold B2 until the hands spin. Leave the watch face down
in a window to allow the time to update for a minimum of 20 minutes. Press B2 three
times once this is complete to check the status of the update.
Troubleshooting
Why is my watch not receiving a time update?
You are outside of the UK, Germany, USA or Japan and cannot receive a signal
Please follow the instructions for manual time setting
(5. Set Time - Manual Time Setting).
Your watch is set to the incorrect time zone for your location
Please follow the instructions for global signal selection
(5. Global Signal Selection).
You are in a built up area/signal is aected by interference from electronic devices.
To receive a time update, place the watch by a window overnight to get the
strongest signal. If your watch is unable to receive an update it will continue to
function as a standard watch. The time will be corrected the next time it receives
the time signal.
Why are the voice/hands on my watch out of sync but the watch says ‘UK time updated’?
Please refer to ‘Resynchronising Watch Hands’.
