User manual VICTORINOX SWISS ARMY CHRONO CLASSIC XLS MT

[. . . ] The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, considering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or temperature may vary. We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened. Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is under water and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use. Meter and bar measurements are different things: Under water, the water pressure is added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore 2 bars in total. [. . . ] ­ Set the correct time by turning the crown either clockwise or counter-clockwise: There are 2 time display modes: ­ once 24 hours ­ twice 12 hours: AM from midnight to midday PM from midday to midnight. ­ In the 12-hour mode, a small letter P appears between midday and midnight alongside the numerals displaying the hours. A rapid rotation advances or retracts the hands by one complete hour, a slow rotation enables the minutes setting to be corrected. Setting the time), or after a certain period of time in operation, if the timepiece is showing a slight inaccuracy, the time can be set to the exact second. ­ While the numerals displayed for seconds are flashing, push the crown to synchronize the time with a time reference. Between 31 and 60 seconds, the time will be adjusted to the next minute. ⭠Check that the minute display ( ) is showing exactly the right time. A letter appears in the place of the date ( language in which the day is displayed: E = English, F = French, S = Spanish, D = German. ­ Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to obtain the desired language and year: a rapid rotation changes the language, a slow rotation changes the year. The language and year disappear and the day of the week and the date reappear. If date, month and year are set, the day of the week will be defined automatically (perpetual calendar). The seconds disappear and the numeral for the month appears alongside the date ( ). ­ Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise: a rapid rotation changes the month, a slow rotation changes the date. Note: Even if the month is not displayed while the timepiece is being used in normal mode, it is still necessary for it to be set otherwise the perpetual calendar will not function correctly (up to 2099). ­ Display the desired time by turning the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise (a rapid rotation changes the hours, a slow rotation changes the minutes). The countdown function starts automatically and the timepiece alarm rings when the preset time period has elapsed. Note: The countdown function can be cancelled at any time (push in the crown for more then 2 seconds), or a running countdown can be restarted by pushing the crown in once. ­ Since the timepiece can operate in either 12 hour (AM-PM) mode, or in 24 hour mode, you must bear this in mind when reading the time shown for a second time zone. [. . . ] ­ In order to change the mode (ADD/SPLIT) you have to stop and reset the running chronograph to zero. ­ If either of the modes ADD or SPLIT is selected, the display shows the following information: Timed period < 1 minute: ­ SP or Ad mode ­ seconds ­ hundredths. Timed period > 1 min and < 1 hour: ­ Minutes ­ seconds ­ hundredths alternately with modes SP + or Ad. Timed period > 1 hour and < 48 hours: ­ Hours ­ minutes ­ seconds alternately with modes SP + hundredths or Ad + hundredths. [. . . ]
