Use of the Quarter Hour Watch outdoors
The Quarter Hour Watch is well suited for use outdoors. However, one should keep it in a
bag or pocket when it is not being used.
It is
not
recommended to let the Quarter Hour Watch be left outdoors over-night or in the
rain.
If the Quarter Hour Watch has been soaked with water or exposed to dampness in any way,
the batteries should be removed and everything dried out properly before the batteries are
put back and the Quarter Hour Watch is used again.
At extremely high temperature (+40°C), e.g., if the Quarter Hour Watch has been lying in
direct sunlight in several hours, the display contrast can be impaired to where the empty
circles look filled, i.e., like dots, if you look at the Quarter Hour Watch a little bit from the side.
At extremely low temperature (-20°C), e.g., if the Quarter Hour Watch has been lying very
cold for several hours, the display contrast also may be impaired and somewhat difficult to
read.
Cleaning of the Quarter Hour Watch
The Quarter Hour Watch may be cleaned with a firmly twisted damp swab and a mild
dishwasher detergent. The Quarter Hour Watch must not be flushed with water.
Exchange of batteries
The batteries (alkaline) are expected to last at least 7 months. When the batteries are
running out, a small battery symbol is shown at the bottom of the display, and the Quarter
Hour Watch beeps several times when a Picture card is put in place.
It is recommended that the batteries always are exchanged when adjustment is made for
Standard and Daylight Savings time, in order to avoid the batteries running out in an
inappropriate situation.
The batteries are three R03 (AAA) 1,5V standard batteries. Good quality alkaline batteries
are recommended.
