signals from the UK, Europe, US and Japan according to the time
zone setting on the watch. Your Precision watch even adjusts
automatically for daylight saving time.

Everything is done automatically.

QUICK SET UP GUIDE
Step 1:
Check the Second Hand Position
Make sure the second hand position is correct before use.
During transit the second hand may move or lose time. Press S3 (bottom button) once to check if the
second hand stops at either the 6 or 12 O’clock position (half second deviation is acceptable). If the
second hand does not stop at 6 or 12 O’clock position, please refer to, “Time and Calendar Synchroni-
zation” which can be found in the “Troubleshooting” section of this manual.
Step 2:
Check Time Zone
Once the second hand is moving again press and hold S3 (bottom button) for 3 seconds. The second
hand will move and pause at 12 O’clock for 2 seconds and will then spin to its preset time zone. The
Time Zone is represented by the position of the second hand as per the below table.
UK Time Zone
Second hand points at 12 o’clock
Germany Time Zone
Second hand points at 1 o’clock
Japan Time Zone
Second hand points at 4 o’clock
USA Time Zone
Second hand points at 7 o’clock
(Preset to Pacic)
Wait until the second hand starts to move
again before proceeding (may take up to 60
seconds).

• Make sure the watch is running normally
• Pull button S2 to the C position.
• Press and hold S3 (bottom button) for 3 seconds. The second hand will move and pause at 12
o’clock for 2 seconds and will then spin to its preset time zone.
• Next, keep pressing S1 (upper button) to move the second hand to point at the Time Zone you want.
(If your watch has been set to the right Time Zone when you check it, leave the watch for around one
minute until the second hand starts moving regularly.
• Press S3 (bottom button) once to conrm the new USA time zone setting.
• Return S2 to the A position.
Remarks:
1. This procedure is used to set USA P/M/C/E only when the time zone of the watch is within the 4
American time zones; Eastern, Central, Mountain and Pacic (7, 8, 9 and 11 o’clock). The watch
cannot be set to another time zone using this USA time zone setting. If you want to change the watch
to the time zone of another country then you need to follow the “Change Time Zone” procedure.
2. If your watch is not within a USA time zone, holding S3 will show the current time zone but no time
zone setting will be allowed.
3. Your watch hands will spin to set the time according to your new time zone setting if it is an advance
hour setting, for instance, were you set your watch from Pacic to Mountain, it may take up to 30
minutes for the watch to be set.
4. If the time zone you require is an anti-clockwise setting from Mountain to Pacic, then the watch will
stop until the new time zone is matched. Please leave the watch until it resumes running again, it
may take up to 4 hours.

Step 3:
First Time Use
Please leave your watch near to a window for between 24 to 48 hours to receive radio signal. For the
best possible reception leave your watch at, face down near a window for 24 to 48 hours.
There are other functions available with your Precision Watch. You may go through them as you wish
but as long as you have gone through the “Quick Setup”, your watch is ready to use!

BATTERY MANAGEMENT
When the battery level is low, the second hand runs 2 steps every 2 seconds. When this happens, all
button functions and signal reception will be prohibited. If the battery is not charged up in time, the
hands will stop at 12 o’clock to save battery power. You will need to charge up the watch. It may take
a few days if the battery is too low. The watch will automatically set itself once the battery level returns
to normal.
Battery Level Check
Push S1 twice to show the battery level. Wait until the watch is running normally after reading the
battery level.

SOLAR POWER RECHARGING
Your Precision watch is charged by all ambi-
ent light, whether that is from a natural or arti-
cial power source. Avoid overheating as it will
damage the watch permanently.
When the watch is fully charged, it can run for
around 12 months on a single charge.
Notes on Recharging
• Avoid recharging at high temperatures (over
60°C) such as placing it on a dashboard of a
vehicle or too close to an electric lamp.
• It is recommended that the watch should be
charged up once a month in direct sun light or
under strong uorescent lamp.
• The watch may need several days to charge
up (depending on the environment) from a
complete stop if the battery is low. Wait until
the watch is fully charged to resume operation.
How it Works
• All light is absorbed through the transparent
watch dial.
• A solar cell situated beneath the dial converts
the light into electrical energy to power the
watch. With regular exposure to ambient light
the watch will continue to charge.
• The battery stores enough energy to power the
watch for 5 years (depending on model), even
in the dark.
LIGHT
For articial light, use a ourescent
lamp at a distance of 8cm
