Notes on time setting:
1 When setting Minute hand of a quartz watch, advance it a few minutes ahead and
then turn it back to the exact time.
2 If your watch has three hands, pull out Crown all the way when Second hand points
at 12 o’clock. After adjusting the time, push Crown back in to normal position in
accordance with a time signal for “00” seconds.
Notes on calendar setting:
1The date will change gradually between 9:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M. Therefore, do not
change the calendar during this time period. Otherwise, it may not change
properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change
the time to any time outside it, set the calendar and then reset the correct time.
2 If your watch has a bilingual day calendar, choose the desired language. When the
day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will appear temporarily.
3 When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so
designed that the calendar changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the time is
set for the A.M. or P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for
the A.M. period. If it does not change, the time is set for the P.M. period.
