I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure your
timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend that you follow these instructions.
Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a “pull-out”crown. In order to
establish which, gently try to pull the crown out 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 Center where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be
checked. The battery is not covered by the warranty.
COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF QUARTZ TIMEPIECE BATTERIES*
This symbol indicates that this product must not be thrown away
with household rubbish. It must be disposed of at an authorized
battery disposal point. By doing so you will be protecting the
environment and human health. Recycling conserves natural
resources.
*Applicable in EU member countries and countries with similar
legislation.

WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case
and read the following information carefully:
Water-resistant to 3 atm (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain, splashes and
accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when
swimming.
Water-resistant to 5 atm (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or
when swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistan t t o 1 0 a tm (3 30 feet/100 meters ). M ay be wo rn when
swimming or snorkelling.
Water-resistan t t o 3 0 a tm (9 90 feet/300 meters ). M ay be wo rn when
swimming, snorkelling or skin diving.
Wate r-resista nt to 50 a tm (1650 fe et/500 meters). May be worn when
swimming, snorkelling or scuba diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely,
considering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate
or t emperature may var y. We therefore recomme nd that you have th e water
resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army
Service Center every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.
Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is under water
and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed
down after each use.

METER/BAR CORRELATION
Meter and bar measurements are different things: Under water, the water
pressure is added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1
bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level,
therefore 2 bars in total.
II. GETTING STARTED
1. USING THE CROWN
A characteristic feature of your Chrono Classic XLS MT (MultiTask) timepiece
equipped with an ETA movement 988.333 is its unique programming crown for all
manipulations which you can turn to obtain different functions:
– In neutral position (1):
Selection of the different functions
– In pulled-out position (2):
Correction of the display indication.
The crown also acts as a pusher to activate different
functions such as the arming and disarming of the alarm,
and to operate the three chronograph functions: starting,
stopping and resetting to zero.
