IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MERCIFUL, THE

features of an analog watch with those of a digital watch. The

THE TWO MODES OF OPERATION
The watch can operate in two modes:
Normal Mode
and
Dialog
Mode
.
The watch will be in Normal Mode most of the time. When it is in
this mode it simply displays information on its digital display,
information such as the time of day, Hijra or western dates, the
day of the week, and alarm indicators. If you haven’t pressed a
button in the last 8 seconds, the watch will automatically switch to
Normal Mode, whatever it was doing previously.
If you want to do anything else with the watch – such as changing
its settings or finding the Qibla – you have to put the watch in
Dialog Mode.
To switch from one mode to the other you simply press both
buttons simultaneously, and then release them. This diagram
explains how to switch between modes:
Press both buttons
⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯→
←⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯
NORMAL
MODE
Press both buttons
OR
don’t
press a button for 8 seconds
DIALOG
MODE
DIALOG MODE
As already explained, you must press both buttons
simultaneously to put the watch in Dialog
Mode.
The watch will then offer alternatives to you, one by one, on the
digital display. In this example, the watch
is offering to display today’s prayer times.
In effect, it is asking the question, “Do you want to see the prayer
times for today?” Each alternative will remain on the display until
you press a button. You have up to 8 seconds to press a button;
otherwise the watch will revert to Normal Mode.
- You should press the
left button
if you do
not
want the
alternative that is currently showing
on the digital display. Pressing the left
button is like telling the watch, “No! I don’t want this
alternative. Show me the next alternative.” After you have
released the left button, the watch will then present the next
alternative. If you keep pressing the left button for more than
two seconds, the watch will begin to offer alternatives one
after another, at a rate of one alternative per second, until
you release the button.
- Press the
right button
if you
do
want the alternative that is
currently being displayed. Pressing
the right button means, “Yes. I want
this alternative”.
This is all you need to remember in order to operate the watch in
Dialog Mode.
(We will explain how to control the watch in Normal Mode after
we have explained how to get started.)
GETTING STARTED
When you first receive the watch you should perform these
checks/operations :-
1.
Pull out the crown (if it isn’t already out) and set the hour and
minute hands to the correct time of day. Then push the
crown back in. (If the second hand does not then start to
move, or moves slowly, it means that the analog battery is
dead. A professional watch repairer should replace it with a
new 1.5 volt silver oxide battery, # SR521SW. The new
battery should last about two years.)
2. The factory may have deliberately turned off the digital
display in order to conserve the digital battery. If so, you can
turn on the display by pressing either of the buttons. (If the
display remains blank, it means that the digital battery is
dead and should be replaced by a new 3 volt lithium battery,
# CR2016. A professional watch repairer should do this. The
battery will last 18 to 24 months.)
3. This watch can communicate in either Arabic or English. If it
is in Arabic mode when you first receive it, you can switch it
to English by following these steps:
Put the watch in Dialog Mode (by pressing both buttons),
then press the left button repeatedly (or keep holding it
down) until the question “
ENGLISH?
” appears.
When you do this, you should see the
following sequence of displays …
When the question “
ENGLISH?
” appears, press the right
button.
(Of course, you should not do this if the watch is already
displaying in English.)
4. Now tell the watch where you live by putting the watch in
Dialog Mode and then selecting
CITY
.
In other words, press both buttons, then press the left button
three times (to say “No” the first three questions:
PRAYERS?
,
QIBLA?
,
ALARMS?
) …
… then press the right button to say
“Yes” to the fourth question, “
CITY?
”.
Select your region or continent (e.g.
EUROPE
), in the same way as you
selected
CITY
.
Select your country (e.g.
UNITED
KINGDOM
).
Select your town or city (e.g.
LONDON
).
Some countries adopt Daylight Saving Time in the summer.
If you live in one of these countries, the watch will now offer
these alternatives: first
STANDARD TIME
, then
DAYLIGHT
SAVE
. In the winter you should select
STANDARD TIME
…
… but in the summer you should
select
DAYLIGHT SAVE
.
If you don’t live in a country that has
