INSTRUCTIONS

FOR USE

Your Rado ‘Multifunction’ is not
only an exceptional piece of jewel­lery with an absolutely uncompro­mising avant-garde design; it also
offers seven useful additional func­tions, which can be easily accessed
via the crown.

Function selection

Leave crown in normal position
and turn.

Function adjustment

Pull crown out and turn.

Switching function on or off

Press crown briefly.

Setting to zero

Press crown (at least 3 sec.)

1. Setting the digital time
display: hours, minutes,
seconds

Select Function 1 (digital time dis­play)

a) Hours and minutes:
Pull the crown out. The hours and
minutes display flashes. Set the
hours by turning the crown
quickly, the minutes by turning it
slowly. Push the crown back to
normal position.
Digital and analogue time displays
are set simultaneously.

b) Seconds in the digital display:
Pull the crown out: the hours and
minutes display flashes.
Push the crown in again: the sec­onds display flashes for one mi­nute. In synchronisation with a
radio or telephone time signal,
press the crown briefly during this
minute to set the seconds to zero.
Check that the minute setting is

still correct. If not, set one minute
back or forward.
24-hour display / A.M.-P.M. dis­play: see Function 5 (T2).

1.1 Synchronisation of analogue
and digital displays

If analogue display diverges from
digital display.
NB: The digital time must be set to
the 24-hour display (see Func­tion 5: T2).
Select Function 8 (without digital
display). Pull out crown and turn
until both time displays are the
same. Turn crown quickly to move
the hour hand, slowly for the mi­nute hand. Push the crown back
in.

2. Setting the date

Select Function 2 (seconds and
date display).
Pull out the crown: seconds display
disappears. The number of the
month appears next to the date.
Both numbers flash.

Turning the crown quickly alters
the month, turning slowly alters
the date.
Push the crown back in. The
month display disappears, the sec­onds display is visible again.

Note:

The number of the month is not
continually displayed, but it is
memorised. It must be correctly
set so that the calendar functions
properly.

Leap year: 29th February

The date of 1st March is displayed
after 28th February even in leap
years.
This can be corrected as follows:
Select Function 2 (seconds and
date display). Pull the crown out
and adjust the date one day back,
so that 29th February is displayed.
Push the crown back in again.

3. Adjusting the
day-of-the-week display

Select Function 3 (day and date
display) and pull the crown out.
The day display flashes and instead
of the date appears the selected
language:
Midi-size = e/f/s/d
Maxi-size = e/f/s
f = French, e = English, s = Spanish,
d = German.
Set the day and the desired lan­guage by turning the crown.

Setting the language

NB: The language changes when
the day changes from Sunday to
Monday.

4. TM: Timer (hour and
minute counter)

Select Function 4 (TM).
Pull the crown out and set the
hours by turning the crown quickly,
the minutes by turning it slowly.
Push the crown back in: this starts
the countdown of the set time.

When the set hours/minutes have
run out, the watch gives an acous­tic signal.
To switch off the signal: briefly
press the crown.

Note:

The hours and minutes countdown
can be cancelled at any time by
setting to zero: select ‘Timer’ Func­tion and press the crown for at
least 3 seconds.

Pull out the crown: the hours dis­play flashes. Set the desired time
by turning the crown.

remain unaltered as they are the
same for all time zones.

The watch can display 24-hour
clock time or 212 hours (A.M.­P.M.).
Select Function ‘T2’. To check the
display setting, press the crown

time display is 212 hours. If no
letter appears, the 24-hour display
is set. Pressing the crown for a
second time changes the display
setting.

6. CHR: Stopwatch
Select Function 6 (CHR).

at least 3 seconds.

Note:

With measurement of time seg­ments longer than one hour, the

display alternates between the
hours display and the minutes, sec­onds and hundredths of a second
display.
While the stopwatch is running,
other functions can be selected
and used. To stop and read the
measured time and to set to zero,
reselect Function 6 (CHR).

To set alarm time, pull out the
