Setting the snooze clock. How to Set Up an Electronic Wristwatch – Features and Useful Recommendations

02/21/2017 at 22:22

It is not news that these days, more and more people perceive wrist watch, first of all, as a stylish and fashionable accessory. And it is quite natural that very few of us can immediately appreciate the variety of useful and almost instantly accessible functions that are hidden in such familiar to us electronic watch.
By the term “electronic watch” we mean a watch that has an LCD display with a digital display of data (time, calendar, sound signals, etc.).

Unfortunately, today many of the owners of these wonderful devices do not always use their rich functionality; one of the reasons may be the difficulty encountered in setting up their faithful watch friend.

By far the most complete and detailed source of information on technical specifications, functional features and setting up any watch, is the original “Operating Instructions”. But it is worth recognizing that often, even very well-known and popular watch manufacturers, unfortunately, do not always provide customers with instructions for watches in our native Ukrainian or Russian language. Or their translation from international English is not entirely correct, and some details of the settings, which are very important for the user, are for some reason simply missed. But if everything is in order with the instructions and translation, then without any difficulties everyone will be able to cope with setting up almost any electronic clock, even on their own. We would also like to additionally remind you that before you start using any technically complex product, for the purpose of safe and durable operation of the equipment you purchase in the future, it is recommended that you read its “Operating Instructions” in accordance with the current Law “On Protection of Consumer Rights”(Section II, Article 4, paragraph 3, subparagraph 1).

Well, now we suggest, having spent very little time, familiarize yourself with general recommendations for setting up some models of electronic wristwatches from one of the most popular watch brands in Ukraine - CASIO.

So, let's start with the features of the push-button watch control system, which is typical for most electronic watches.

The watch is controlled by three, four or more buttons, most often located in pairs on the left and right ends of the case, as well as on its front side. Therefore, I would like to start the description of the push-button clock control system with general principles work and its specific features.

After all, despite the modern dominance of all kinds of screen-touch technologies, the time-tested push-button control of watches does not lose its position, but continues to delight users with its ergonomic convenience and accessible simple interface. For example, is there anyone who will argue that in the cold season, when the hands are protected from the weather by gloves, practically no modern screen-touch technology gives us the opportunity to control any gadgets and, in particular, even the most “smart” ones? for hours. In this situation, only buttons or a rotating watch key can help us, dear readers. So let's continue.

The buttons are:

– pressure protruding;

– push recessed;

– push-and-pull protruding (CITIZEN, Multi Chronograph).

Press response:

– enter settings;

– mode switching;

– on/off functions;

– change of values;

– reset values.

Pressing options:

– one-button single, multiple, with hold;

– multi-button single, multiple, sequential, simultaneous with hold.

At least one of the pressing variations, the press and hold, requires closer consideration. This type of pressing is very typical for button manipulations ADJUST(Settings), for most CASIO electronic watch models.

And no matter if you're going to change general settings clock (current time, time zone, calendar, etc.), or configure settings in any of the functions ( sound signals, timer, stopwatch, etc.) – you must press this button and hold it pressed for at least a few seconds, waiting for a confirmation sound signal. Moreover, the duration of the press can be either 2–3 seconds or 5–7 seconds. In addition to the sound signal confirming entry into the setup mode, you will also notice the current seconds blinking on the display. (The exception is models with radio control, where you will have to press and hold again). Click on this and wait!

In our opinion, thus engineers CASIO, In a simple and very reliable way, we decided to prevent accidental and unexpected entries into the Settings mode by various incompetent users (household members, including inquisitive children, friends, etc.).

And by the way, don’t forget that there is another very popular button on CASIO watches – LIGHT, which can often also require similar manipulations. It, or another button, must be pressed and held for a long time to activate the AUTO LIGHT mode. There may be no audible confirmation, so be sure to wait for the corresponding graphic or alphabetic symbol to appear on the display.

Now, let’s consider a version of an electronic watch with four end buttons and one front button, using the example of a popular model (module 3230).

So, if you look at the watch from the display side, there are buttons on the left side:

ADJUST (Adjustment) - at the top, recessed

MODE - at the bottom, protruding

Accordingly, on the right there are buttons:

SPLIT/RESET - at the top, protruding

START/STOP (Start/Reset) - at the bottom, protruding

And at the bottom of the front side there is a button:

LIGHT – protruding

Before entering the general clock settings, you must be sure that you are in the Current Time mode (see figure). That is, the display shows the following data: current time (hours, minutes, seconds), day of the week, day and month, and there may also be some icons informing about the enabled state of some other functions (sound signals, summer time, auto backlight, etc.). In this model, the ADJUST button is recessed, and therefore to enter the setup mode you just need to press it once. As a result, the seconds begin to flash. Congratulations - you are in setup mode. Next, you can calmly set up your clock, following the recommendations outlined step-by-step in the instructions for the 3230 module.

Almost the only remark to this instruction is the not entirely correct title for the section “ Backlight” and, accordingly, determining the purpose of this function. After all, as indicated at the very beginning of the instructions: “ To illuminate the scoreboard in any mode, press the “D” button." And this is where we are actually talking about Backlighting, with the usual 2-second interval of display illumination.

Therefore, we believe that this section should be called “ Additional lighting" and instead of the inscription "Backlight function indicator", you should use the inscription "Additional backlight function indicator" (see figure). When this function is turned on and a characteristic icon appears on the display, all sound signals emitted by the clock (one-time or multiple) will be synchronously accompanied by flashing electroluminescent backlight. Thanks to this function, for example, in noisy conditions where sound signals may not be heard, it is the flashing of the backlight that informs the user that they have been activated. By the way, sometimes this function in CASIO watches, it performs a special vibrating assembly of the watch mechanism, which, apparently, is even more convenient for some users.

We hope, dear readers, that in this short article you learned useful information and we managed to reveal basic principles settings of electronic wristwatches from a practical point of view using an example popular models CASIO. We hope that now, having such a functional and compact wrist device, you will be able to use the maximum of its capabilities in your everyday life, without being limited by the minimum capabilities of the model.

And remember that in case of any difficulties you encounter with setting up your electronic watch, we strongly recommend that you contact the sales consultants of the Secunda store where you purchased your watch, or any other store in our distribution network. Also, you can contact Service center Secunda, where experienced technicians will professionally help you set up almost any model of electronic wristwatch. And the Secunda online store will always take care of the convenience of purchasing and quality service for each client.

The overwhelming majority of modern watch models are produced abroad. To get a quality product, people order devices from the most famous companies. Electronic wristwatches have enormous functionality, but rarely all this functionality is localized, which leads to setup difficulties. Language barrier leads to a dead end, since not every user has the knowledge English language. How to set up an electronic clock yourself? It's not as complicated as you might think. Now you will see this.

Settings

Most often, models are equipped with MOD and SET keys. To set the time on such a watch, you need to do the following:

Hold down the MOD key for a while. The edit field should start blinking. If several interface fields start blinking at once, press the same key once to switch to the desired field.
Use the SET button to set required parameters. To change values, you need to press this button repeatedly.
Use the MOD key again and switch to other fields. Again use another button to change parameter values.
If the desired values have been set, then finish the entire procedure with the last click on MOD.

Everything seems simple, but how to set up an electronic watch with 4 buttons? This procedure looks even simpler.

Important! When you have figured out the settings, it's time to think about your harmonious image with a new accessory. Find out all about:

Four buttons on a gadget

If your gadget is equipped with four buttons, then the entire setup process will look even simpler:

You need to also click on the MOD button. When you make the numbers on the device screen blink, press SET once, and then scroll through one of the other two buttons.
The first key is responsible for increasing the value, and the second is responsible for decreasing it.
If you have set the parameters, press the MOD key again.

There are accessories that have even more keys. What should the user do in this case?

Setting up devices with even more controls

But in this case, there is no objective instruction. It is best to follow the recommendations described in the accompanying documentation. Often additional keys are responsible for calling an electronic thermometer, calendar, timer or stopwatch.

Important! Such keys simply visualize parameters, but do not configure them in any way.

If you still don’t want to use the standard documentation, you can try making a few presses on the MOD key, scrolling through all the functions. When you find the option you want, place your finger on the SET key and set the data. Typically, almost all electronic devices are configured in this way.

Important! Bookmark useful articles for the future, the information from which will definitely be useful to you in the future:

Set the alarm clock

Absolutely all models electronic devices equipped with an alarm function. In order to start it, you need to press “MOD” again until you find the inscription “alarm” on the display.

Important! The alarm time is set in the same way as setting the time and date, which was described above. The “SET” control element in this field is responsible for turning this function on and off.

In fact, different devices are configured differently, so the most the right way parameterization means entering the model name into any popular search engine. On the Internet you can easily find any localized instructions for setting the time.

You can also use the services of the store where the device was purchased. Just bring the device to a consultant and ask for help.
