To ensure that your KHS SHOOTER GMT operates with perfect precision for many years to

Please read the instructions pertaining speci
fi
cally to your KHS SHOOTER GMT on the
following pages.
GTLS – Gaseous Tritium Light Sources | Triglights
This KHS SHOOTER GMT is equipped with the best GTLS currently available on the market and
which are made by the Swiss
fi
rm mb-microtec. GTLS are minute, hermetically sealed
glass vials that have a
fl
uorescent coating on the inside. They contain a small amount of
gaseous tritium. The electrons emitted by the tritium gas permanently excite the
fl
uorescent coating.
GTLS which come from the market leader mb-microtec have a longevity of 20 years or more.
Although the initial brightness of the light sources is a
ff
ected by a variety of factors, a certain
decrease in brightness is unavoidable over time, however. The so-called half-life of tritium is
somewhat more than 12 years. After this period elapses, the brightness is noticeably less, but
substantially higher than that of conventionally illuminated watches.
GTLS and all other electronic watch components must always disposed of within the
framework of existing legislation. If you want disposed of your KHS SHOOTER GMT, please
contact your authorised KHS dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center.
Battery
This KHS SHOOTER GMT possesses a high-quality Swiss quartz movement that is battery-
powered such that winding is not necessary. According to the movement's manufacturer, the
battery should last 60 months with a rate variation of just approx. ±0.66 seconds a day.
You only have to set the time and date.
Since the battery is installed by the manufacture to check the functionality of the movement,
its expected useful life may be less than cited due to time in storage. If the battery is dis-
charged, it should always be replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent any possible
battery leakage. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorised
KHS dealer.
IMPORTANT:
Even though the manufacture of the movement cites a service life of up to 36
months for the quartz movement installed in this KHS SHOOTER GMT, we would advise you to
have the battery replaced every 24 months or 2 years at least! Doing so ensures that there is
no possible battery leakage, which could result in repairing or replacing the entire watch
movement.
Watertightness
Your KHS SHOOTER GMT is watertight up to 20 Bar. For that reason, your watch is suited, of
course, for swimming, bathing, car washing, to scrub up or any other normal contact with
water.
To make sure that your KHS SHOOTER GMT remains watertight, we recommend you to take it
to an authorised KHS dealer to have them check all the seals and the crystal periodically. We
also advise you to have the battery replaced every 2 years (e.g. directly with the battery
replacement recommended by us).
Do NOT allow your KHS SHOOTER GMT to come in contact with chemicals. In order to ensure
that your watch remains fully functional for a long time, you should protect your watch from
extreme temperatures and vibrations.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that the crown is pushed in to the case before allowing your watch
to come in contact with water. The crown may not be actuated, when the watch is immersed
in water or still wet. After use in saltwater, you should rinse your watch thoroughly using
freshwater and then allow it to dry completely.
Screwed Crown
To ensure maximum water tightness, this KHS MISSIONTIMER 3 watch is designed with a
screwed crown. The crown must be screwed out in order to set the time or date and then
screwed back in.
Unscrewing the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise, until
you can feel that it is unscrewed. The
crown is now in the neutral position
and can be pulled out to set the time
and/or date.
1) Starting position ,
screwed on tightly, not pulled out.
2) Neutral positon,
unscrewed , not pulled out.
Closing the crown:
Push the crown back to the neutral
position. Now turn the crown clockwise
while applying a little pressure, until it
is screwed tight.
1) Neutral positon,
unscrewed , not pulled out.
2) Starting position ,
screwed on tightly, not pulled out.
IMPORTANT:
After every time you change the time or date, make sure that the crown is
screwed back in to ensure that the watch remains watertight. Under no circumstances should
you ever use force or tools to unscrew the crown or screw it back in place!
