Check the battery

Don't assume the battery you installed is good. Check it or replace with another.

You should not assume the battery you put in the watch is good. Test it and if it is good (like new) it means you have a problem other than the battery.

Hi

Thank you for your question at Fixya,

The solution to your problem is as follows :-

• What you have to do now , is to turn the digital face towards the screen which flashes the digital/date.
• Then you need to pull up the knob out , as you do to set the time, usually.
• Then you need to hold in two auxiliary buttons so that a BAT comes up on the screen , when you see this the flashing stops.

Hope that helps ...:) In case you have any queries, feel free to contact me.

Yup, it means it's time to change the battery. However, if it's blinking despite having a new battery, it could be because the time and date needs to be set.

Here's a copy of the manual for more info :-

Hope this helps.

Is the digital display blinking? If it is, it would mean that the battery is weak and thus, the backlight won't work.

Put off all digital disply - pull out middle winder.

My previous Kirium F1 had this problem as well.. got it fixed by my watchmaker for a nominal fee (<USD40). Apparently, the push connector needed to be repaired. After the repair, it was "clicking" again and worked fine. However, the watchmaker did warn against pushing the buttons too hard. This is apparently a common problem for this model.

pull the middle knob out all the way and then turn it. It should turn the minute hand allowing you to set the time

TO SET TIME AND DATE, PUSH SIDE BUTTONS TOGETHER OR AT SAME TIME TO MAKE THE SCREEN OR FACE OF WATCH APPEAR WITH ITS TIME OR DATE, THEN GO TO OTHER SIDE BUTTONS TO GO UP OR DOWN ON THE TIME OR DATE UNTIL YOU GET TO THE PROPER TIME AND DATE. THEN GO BACK TO FIRST BUTTONS YOU PUSHED AND PUSH THEM ONCE MORE TO GET OUT OF THE SETTING MODE.

Follow these steps to synchronize your watch :-

Step 1. Turn the crown so that it is in the neutral display setting ( no digital time displayed )

Step 2. Pull the crown all the way out, "R" will be displayed.

Step 3. Press the "B" button, the lower button on the side of the watch.

Step 4. The digital time will be displayed, you can then turn the crown and set the hands to the digital time.

Step 5. Push the crown back into its middle position (not fully in and not fully out)

Hope this helps

Have you a copy of the manual?

If you have, then you will see that it can be turned off (last page), is this likely to be the case?

If you need a copy, go to their web site "tagheuer.com", select "watches", then "tag heuer formula 1", then "man", followed by "Tag Heuer F1 chronometer" and finally you will see on the right a menu, select "user manual".

This seems to be a generic manual that cover both the chronometer and alarm version of the watch.

If these are not the correct instructions for your watch, opposite the "user manual" menu is a search box, put your watch model in this and there should be a user manual with it.

If not look at a similar watch for a generic manual.

EOL is short for End of Life. Don't worry. According to TAG, that just means you need to replace in the internal lithium battery.
