Einrichtung und Inbetriebnahme

Einstellen der Uhrzeit

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (fully extended). The second hand will stop.
2. Durch Drehen der Krone im Uhrzeigersinn oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn können Sie die Stunden- und Minutenzeiger auf die richtige Uhrzeit einstellen.
3. Push the crown back in to position 1 (normal operating position). The second hand will resume movement.

Einstellen des Datums

1. Pull the crown out to position 1 (halfway extended).
2. Drehen Sie die Krone im Uhrzeigersinn oder gegen den Uhrzeigersinn, um das Datum einzustellen. Vermeiden Sie die Datumseinstellung zwischen 21:00 und 3:00 Uhr, da dies den automatischen Datumswechselmechanismus beeinträchtigen kann.
3. Push the crown back in to position 0 (normal operating position).

Operating the E-Compass Function

The E-Compass function allows you to determine your bearing. For accurate readings, ensure you are away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., large metal objects, electronic devices).

1. Kompass aktivieren: Press and hold the upper pusher (usually at 2 o'clock position) for approximately 2 seconds. The second hand will point to North.
2. Kalibrieren (falls erforderlich): If the compass seems inaccurate, hold the watch flat and rotate it slowly in a figure-eight motion several times. Then, reactivate the compass.
3. Peilung lesen: While the compass is active, rotate your body until the second hand points to 'N' (North) on the dial. The hour hand will then indicate your current bearing.
4. Deactivate Compass: The compass will automatically deactivate after a short period (e.g., 20 seconds) or you can press the upper pusher again to turn it off.

Using INDIGLO® Night-Light

To activate the INDIGLO® night-light, simply press the crown inwards. The entire dial will illuminate for a few seconds, providing visibility in low-light conditions.

Wartung und Pflege

• Reinigung: Wipe the watch case and crystal with a soft, lint-free cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals.
• Batteriewechsel: When the watch stops or the INDIGLO® light dims significantly, the battery may need replacement. This should be done by a qualified watch technician to maintain water resistance.
• Wasserbeständigkeit: The watch is water-resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing, and water sports. It is NOT suitable for diving. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before exposing the watch to water.
• Lagerung: Bewahren Sie Ihre Uhr bei Nichtgebrauch an einem kühlen, trockenen Ort fern von direkter Sonneneinstrahlung und extremen Temperaturen auf.
