Maintenance
Changing the battery
The battery is expected to last from three months to a year, depending
on the frequency of use. Experience has shown it to last about four to
six months in regular long-term use. If the watch is never activated,
the battery should last over a year.
Should the display grow fuzzy or blink off in use, the battery is likely
to be dead. Please install a new battery according to the instructions
in the Operation section before assuming that the watch has a
problem requiring repair.
Water resistance
The nixie watch is designed to be water resistant, but it is not sealed
against pressure. It should withstand rainfall, splashes and other
everyday liquid events. However, the seal is not sufficient to protect
the watch against submersion in water. If it should be submerged,
remove it from water right away, unscrew the cover and check for
water ingress. If the insides have gotten wet, first remove the battery,
then shake out any loose water and dry the watch by placing it in a
warm, dry area with the cover off.
If the inside of the watch has been soaked in water, it is best to
remove the module using a 0.050” (1.25mm) hex driver, then
thoroughly dry the module and the inside of the case by blowing it
dry with compressed air.
Replacing the nixie tubes
The nixie tubes are somewhat delicate and may crack or develop
shorts between two adjacent cathodes after a drop or a hard bump.
The only known cure is to replace the bad tube. Replacement tubes
are available from Cathode Corner at nominal cost.
