I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. 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. If it does so, you have a screw-down crown.

! After use, push the crown back in or screw it down until it is secure in order to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece.

Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we recommend you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be checked. The battery is not covered by the warranty.

COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF QUARTZ TIMEPIECE BATTERIES*

This symbol indicates that this product must not be thrown away with household rubbish. It must be disposed of at an authorized battery disposal point. By doing so, you will be protecting the environment and human health. Recycling conserves natural resources.

*Applicable in EU member countries and countries with similar legislation.

English

ROTATING BEZEL

The rotating bezel enables divers to measure both dive time and any other lapse of time. To measure time, simply turn the bezel to position the index (0 or 60) exactly opposite the minute hand. The position of this hand in relation to the bezel will then indicate the time elapsed since setting the bezel.

WATER RESISTANCE

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.
Water-resistant to 5 ATM (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or when swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistant to 10 ATM (330 feet/100 meters). May be worn when swimming or snorkelling.
Water-resistant to 30 ATM (990 feet/300 meters). May be worn when swimming or free diving and scuba diving.
Water-resistant to 50 ATM (1650 feet/500 meters). May be worn when swimming or deep-sea diving.

English

The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely as 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 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.

METER/BAR CORRELATION

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.

II. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

SETTING DATE AND TIME

Setting the time:

1. Pull the crown out to position 3.
2. Turn to the desired time.
3. Push the crown back to position 1. (Remember to screw it back down if you have a screw-down model)

Adjusting the date and day:

1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn it away from you for the desired date.
3. Turn it towards you for the desired day.
4. Push the crown back to position 1.

To avoid any errors, do not perform this operation between 21.00 and 03.00 in the morning when the date mechanism operates. Be careful not to confuse midday and midnight.

English

MANUAL OR AUTOMATIC WINDING

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).

III. OTHER FUNCTIONS

CHRONOGRAPH

Chronograph function:

1. Press start/stop pusher A to start the timing function.
2. Press the same pusher A to stop the timing function.
3. To calculate additional time, press pusher A again.
4. To return the three chronograph hands to zero, use pusher B.

English

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.

1. Press pusher A.
2. Press pusher B (elapsed time reading).
3. Press pusher A again (to make up elapsed time).
4. Press pusher B - stop function.
5. Press pusher B again to reset to zero.

Do not operate the pushers or crown when your timepiece is underwater or if it is wet.

TACHYMETER TIMER

The tachymeter timer allows you to measure the speed of an object moving at constant speed. Start the chronograph and stop it after a certain distance covered (1 km or 1 mile for example). The chronograph hand indicates a figure on the tachymeter scale in kph or mph speed.

English

2ND TIME ZONE

The timepiece has 4 hands in the center (hours, minutes, seconds and 2^nd Time Zone). The 2^nd Time Zone reading is indicated on the outer scale of the dial (24 hours).

1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn it towards you to set the 2^nd Time Zone.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 once the desired time is set.

DUAL TIME

The timepiece has a second crown (C) located at 4 o'clock or at 11 o'clock. The 2^nd Time Zone reading is shown on the second small dial.

1. Pull out the small crown C to position 2.
2. Turn it away from you or towards you to set the 2^nd Time Zone.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 once the desired time is set.

23

English

ALARM

The alarm can only be set to operate within 12 hours of the time being set. 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.

1. Pull the crown out to position 2.
2. Turn it away from you to set the alarm time.
3. Push the crown back to position 1 once the desired alarm time is set.
4. Pull out the alarm button (AL) to position 2 to switch on this function.

The alarm is then activated, and this is confirmed by a beep.
