User manual VICTORINOX SWISS ARMY GENERAL MULTI-WATCH

[. . . ] To ensure your timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend you follow the advice given in these instructions for use: Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a "pull-out" crown. In order to establish which, gently try to pull the crown out to position 2, if that works, your timepiece is fitted with a "pull-out" crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to apply mild pressure on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. [. . . ] We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked every 18 months or when the timepiece case is opened at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center. Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is underwater and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use. Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case and read the following information carefully: Water-resistant to 3 ATM (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain and splashes and accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when swimming. Meter and bar are different things: underwater, there is combined air and water pressure. A depth of 10 meters equals 1 bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore 2 bars in total. (Remember to screw it back down if you have a screw-down model) Adjusting the date and day: 1. Crown in position 1 (unscrewed) You must wind any simple mechanical timepiece daily and at a regular time in order to ensure smooth running of your timepiece. All you have to do is turn the crown away from you until you feel a slight resistance (to avoid damaging the mechanism, do not overwind). For timepieces fitted with an automatic winding function: the timepiece winds itself automatically as you move your wrist. If your timepiece stops or is not worn sufficiently, perform the same operation as for a manual timepiece (a few turns of the crown will suffice). Intermediate/split time function: The intermediate/split time function enables users to stop the hands to read an intermediate time while continuing timing. When the hands are restarted, the chronograph makes up the elapsed time. Do not operate the pushers or crown when your timepiece is underwater or if it is wet. [. . . ] Setting the alarm hands on the dial subdivisions between the numerals allows accurate setting at 15 minute intervals. Because of the technical design of analog timepieces, the alarm time may vary slightly. Pull out the alarm button (AL) to position 2 to switch on this function. [. . . ]
