3.1 Configuració inicial i configuració de l'hora

  1. Before setting the time, ensure any plastic tab protecting the crown is removed.
  2. Gently pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) out to its outermost position. This will stop the second hand.
  3. Gireu la corona en sentit horari o antihorari per ajustar les agulles de les hores i els minuts a l'hora desitjada.
  4. Un cop configurada l'hora, torneu a prémer la corona a la seva posició original. La maneta dels segons reprendrà el moviment.

3.2 Configuració de la data

  1. Estireu la corona fins al primer clic (si escau, en cas contrari utilitzeu la posició més externa).
  2. Gireu la corona per ajustar la data. Eviteu configurar la data entre les 21:00 i les 3:00, ja que això pot interferir amb el mecanisme automàtic de canvi de data.

5. Manteniment

5.1 Resistència a l'aigua

Your AVI-8 AV-4077 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water exposure. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.2 Neteja

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth and allow to air dry naturally.

5.3 Cura de la corretja

The genuine leather strap may show signs of wear over time. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. If the strap becomes wet, dry it thoroughly before wearing.

6. Solució De Problemes

6.1 Watch Not Running or Intermittent Operation

  • Check if the crown is fully pushed in. If it is pulled out, the watch will not run.
  • The Meca-Quartz movement requires a battery. If the watch stops completely, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watch technician for battery replacement.

6.2 Les agulles del cronògraf no es reinicien a zero

If the chronograph hands do not return precisely to the 12 o'clock (zero) position after resetting, they may need calibration. This can sometimes occur after a battery change or impact.

  1. Pull the crown out to the outermost position (time setting position).
  2. Press the top pusher repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand until it aligns with the 12 o'clock position.
  3. If other chronograph sub-dials are misaligned, use the bottom pusher to adjust them to their zero positions.
  4. Once all chronograph hands are aligned, push the crown back into its normal operating position.
