Tips and Troubleshooting

• Backlight Not Working: Ensure the battery is not depleted. Replace the battery if necessary.
• Buttons Not Responding: Check if the watch is in a locked state. Some models have a button combination to lock and unlock the buttons to prevent accidental changes. Refer to your manual.
• Display Issues: If the display is faint or incomplete, it could indicate a low battery or a more serious issue. Consider replacing the battery or consulting a watch repair professional.
• Water Resistance: While Armitron Pro Sport watches are often water-resistant, it’s essential to understand the specific rating of your model. Avoid pressing buttons underwater unless the watch is specifically designed for that purpose.

By following these instructions and consulting your watch’s manual, you should be able to easily set and use all the features of your Armitron Pro Sport watch. Enjoy!
