I. GENERAL INFORMATION

Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure
your timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend that you follow the advice given
in these instructions (All instruction manuals are also available on our website:
www.victorinoxswissarmy.com – Customer Service – User Manuals. For
Canada: www.swissarmy.com).

Your chronograph is fitted with either a screw-down or a “pull-out” crown. In order
to establish which, gently try to pull out the crown to position 2, if that works, your
timepiece is fitted with a “pull-out” crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to
apply mild pressure on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. If it does
so, you have a screw-down crown.

After use, push the crown back in or screw it down until it is secure in

order to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece.

Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we
recommend that you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss
Army Service
checked. The battery is not covered by the warranty.
