I have a Bulova TFX watch. I have mislaid the instructions. Can you tell me how I set the day, date, and time?
Step 1. When the second
hand re a ches 12 o ’ clock (the zero or 60th second mark ) , pull the crown
all the way to the “OUT ”position (you will hear two “ cl i ck s ” ) .All hands
will stop.
Step 2. Turn the crown to
move hands FORWARD (clockwise) until you see the date (for date only) or both
day and date change.This establishes midnight, t h e b e ginning of the day.
Step 3. For A.M .time, continue
to move hands forward until the minute hand is approxim a t e ly 5 minutes
beyond the desired minute marker ;then ,gently turn b a ck to the same marke r.
For P. M .time , follow the same procedure ,but first a dvance the hands past 12 o’clock .
N O T E : The date will
advance automatically at midnight, p rovided that A . M .a n d P. M .h ave been
established (Steps 2 and 3).The watch calendar is pro grammed for a 31-day cycle.The
refore ,on the fi rst day of any month
fo l l owing a month with fewer than 31 day s , the date must be advanced
manually (see Step 5).
Step 4. When the time
standard by which you are setting your wa t ch ( e.g.,telephone beep) re a ches
the 60th second, push the crown all the way to the “ I N ”position . All hands
will start instantly.
Step 5. Pull the crown to
the “ I N T E R M E D I AT E ”position (one “ cl i ck ” ) . Your watch will
continue to tell time. S l ow ly turn crown one way until the correct date a p
p e a rs .Then for day/date models, s l ow ly turn crown the other way until
the correct day appears .
N O T E : The day is printed
in two successive positions on the day indicator: i n English and in Spanish on
U. S .m o d e l s ; in English and in Fre n ch on Canadian mode l s It is
possible to make use of either position. The display will automatically re m a
i n in the language ch o s e n .
The
date should never be ch a n ged manu a l ly between 9:00 P. M . and 3:00 A . M
.a s this might affect the calendar mechanism and the accuracy of the date. (
Theme chanism will not be damaged if the crown is turned accidentally during
this
time
peri o d ,howeve r. )
Hope it helped U!
