Digi-tech Watch Setting Instructions

Digi-tech Uhr Bedienungs Anleitung

http://berklix.com/~jhs/txt/watch/digi-tech/

By Julian H. Stacey

Introduction / Einleitung

  • This is a bilingual page, English & German .
    Zwei Sprachen Seite: English & Deutsch
  • Font Colours:
    • Default foreground colour of browser (usually Black):
      English.
      The original instructions I typed in from paper were in German, but I guess as this watch doubtless came from Asia for a world market, the primary language was some Asian, then translated into common English, then it translated again from English into German, & not done well, so I've tried to correct, not merely retranslated back to English.
    • Brown / Braun + Italics / Schraeg- Shrift : German / Deutsch.
    • Green: Another Watch (In English) : Kenko Alarm Chrono KK-661 Super Protection Works somewhat similarly. The paper docs show the same knobs layout as Digi-tech, but the actual watch face & knobs function have swapped the left 2 knobs (some at least of the functions on the right 1 also seem as if theyre swapped, though I've stuck to their nomenclature). I didn't copy in Kenko wording.

Commentary / Kommentar

Setting this watch was a pig (& watch often needs it as knobs protrude, often pushed accidentally), as :
  • The small paper leaflet is small font, hard to read, expecially at night in bad light.
  • I covered paper in plastic to protect it, now it doesn't scan well to expand.
  • I can not find a manual on web (can't even find a Digi-tech watch manufacturer, just some music company).
  • Paper is written in bad German, mis-spelt in original, seems to have been translated (from Asian to German or perhaps Asian to English back to German?) (& German's a hard language to read anyway, with horrible long word concatenations in original with no spaces (eg Zifferblattbeleuchtung, Zeitablaufmessung), etc.
So I've typed it in, deliberately broken up the horrible long German words (with no spaces or hyphens) & hyphenated them. Words in English are mine. Their labelling (on paper instructions) of knobs as A B C D was less intuitive than on both physical watch faces + Kenko paper labelling as L (Light), M (ode), R (Reset), S (tart); so I did not use A B C D but L (Light), M (ode), R (Reset), S (tart)

Now I (& others who find this) have the luxury of browser scaling up to any size wanted. - Legibly !, & no need of flimsy easily damaged & lost paper.

If you find it helpful why not email a line saying eg "Thanks for/ Danke fuer Digi-tech web page/ Seite", It's be nice to know it helped people. (So far I've heard from several it helped, & one so far it did not.

    It beeps each time Alarm is turned On
  • Chime (On each hour)
    The hourly chime (brief beep) is presumably indicated by the flashing symbol, upper on the LCD, within the (gold colour) circle painted on the plastic.
    • I do not know how to change this.
    • It was off before, yet became On after I installed a new battery (AG12=386).
    • It is not changed by any combined binary mapping to alarm + chime enables, of count eg 1,2,3,4 of presses on START_knob).

    • It is not changed by holding in RESET_knob & pushing MODE_knob

3 seconds:
To get 3 seconds: Say aloud leisurely: "Mississipi One, Mississipi Two, Mississipi Three" If you just think it, most people go too fast & you get less seconds, so the watch may not be in the state you expect.
