3. Impostazione

3.1 Configurazione iniziale e impostazione dell'ora

1. Before setting the time, ensure any plastic tab protecting the crown is removed.
2. Gently pull the crown (located on the right side of the watch case) out to its outermost position. This will stop the second hand.
3. Ruotare la corona in senso orario o antiorario per impostare le lancette delle ore e dei minuti sull'ora desiderata.
4. Una volta impostata l'ora, riportare la corona nella posizione originale. La lancetta dei secondi riprenderà a muoversi.

3.2 Impostazione data

1. Estrarre la corona fino al primo scatto (se applicabile, altrimenti utilizzare la posizione più esterna).
2. Ruotare la corona per regolare la data. Evitare di impostare la data tra le 21:00 e le 3:00, poiché ciò potrebbe interferire con il meccanismo di cambio automatico della data.
3. Una volta impostata la data, riportare la corona nella posizione originale.

4. Funzionamento del cronografo

Your AVI-8 AV-4077 watch features a chronograph function for measuring elapsed time. The chronograph typically uses dedicated pushers on the side of the watch case.

4.1 Avvio e arresto del cronografo

1. Press the top pusher (usually located at the 2 o'clock position) to start the chronograph. The chronograph second hand will begin to move.
2. To stop the chronograph, press the top pusher again. The chronograph hands will stop, indicating the elapsed time.

4.2 Reimpostazione del cronografo

1. After stopping the chronograph, press the bottom pusher (usually located at the 4 o'clock position) to reset the chronograph hands to their zero positions.

5. Manutenzione

5.1 Resistenza all'acqua

Your AVI-8 AV-4077 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, showering, or washing hands. It is NOT suitable for diving, snorkeling, or prolonged water exposure. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

5.2 Pulizia

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid excessive moisture and harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp panno e lasciare asciugare naturalmente all'aria.

5.3 Cura del cinturino

The genuine leather strap may show signs of wear over time. To prolong its life, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. If the strap becomes wet, dry it thoroughly before wearing.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

6.1 Watch Not Running or Intermittent Operation

• Controllare che la corona sia completamente inserita. Se è estratta, l'orologio non funzionerà.
• The Meca-Quartz movement requires a battery. If the watch stops completely, the battery may need replacement. Contact a qualified watch technician for battery replacement.

6.2 Chronograph Hands Not Resetting to Zero

If the chronograph hands do not return precisely to the 12 o'clock (zero) position after resetting, they may need calibration. This can sometimes occur after a battery change or impact.

1. Pull the crown out to the outermost position (time setting position).
2. Press the top pusher repeatedly to advance the chronograph second hand until it aligns with the 12 o'clock position.
3. If other chronograph sub-dials are misaligned, use the bottom pusher to adjust them to their zero positions.
4. Una volta allineate tutte le lancette del cronografo, riportare la corona nella sua normale posizione di funzionamento.
