Press (either short for incremental advance or long 
for rapid advance) the T2 button to set the desired 
hour for your time zone.  Please take note of the

microprocessor and at the end of the adjustment 
the display returns to the default mode showing 
the date.

Replacing the Battery 
A low battery is signaled by a blinking “LO” in the digital 
display. 
The battery should be replaced by trained personnel to 
avoid damage and to maintain the water resistance 
according to factory specifications. 
 
After battery replacement the hands of your atomic 
watch must be repositioned to 12 o’clock.  The hands 
can be advanced either incrementally by repeatedly 
pressing the T2 button or rapidly by holding the T2 
button.  Pressing the T2 button briefly advances the 
minutes, holding the button down lets the minute hand 
move continuously until the T2 button is released.  (The 
minute is also shown in the LCD helping you to set the 
correct time.)  Your watch now uses its integrated 
quartz movement.  Please note in this mode your watch 
cannot display the date.  The time you have set is 
retained until your watch is able to receive the signal 
from the WWVB transmitter again.  The date will then 
also be set and displayed in the LCD again. 
 
After your atomic watch automatically receives the 
WWVB signal the watch will be set to Pacific standard 
time.  You must then either press the T1 button to 
confirm the time or set the desired time zone as 
described in 4. Setting the Time Zone

climactic 
conditions. 
Depress the T1
