HOW TO SET TIME AND USE THE CROWN:
Your watch is fitted with a screw-down crown which must be unscrewed by turning anti-clockwise before setting time.
After use, push the crown into normal position then press and screw the crown back down: failure to screw the crown down will compromise water-resistance.
1 – Turn clockwise for manual winding
2 – Date setting (if present)
3 – Seconds hand will stop, turn clockwise for time setting
Synchronise the seconds by pushing the crown back to position 2 to coincide with a given time signal.
HOW TO USE THE AIR TO GROUND EMERGENCY CODE SIGNALS CASEBACK:
Air to ground emergency code signals.
In case of distress, describe the ground to air emergency signal codes on the ground so that the search aircraft or rescue party can easily recognise them. Each letter should be at least 10 m? in size with its top and bottom facing the directions of south and north, respectively. When describing the code on a field of snow, dig a ditch or pile up snow in the form of the letter so that it can be discerned by the shade. If the victim is weakened and does not have enough physical strength to describe the codes on the ground, use clothes or equipments to form the letters. Grass, branches of trees or stones can also serve this purpose.
In rescue operations, the rescue aircraft uses a loudspeaker or a communication tube to send messages to the victim, but it is difficult for the victim to respond to the rescuer. The ground to air emergency signal codes will facilitate communication between them and help rescue operations progress smoothly.
