Digi-tech Watch Setting Instructions

Digi-tech Uhr Bedienungs Anleitung

http://berklix.com/~jhs/txt/watch/digi-tech/

By Julian H. Stacey

Introduction / Einleitung

  • This is a bilingual page, English & German .
    Zwei Sprachen Seite: English & Deutsch
  • Font Colours:
    • Default foreground colour of browser (usually Black):
      English.
      The original instructions I typed in from paper were in German, but I guess as this watch doubtless came from Asia for a world market, the primary language was some Asian, then translated into common English, then it translated again from English into German, & not done well, so I've tried to correct, not merely retranslated back to English.
    • Brown / Braun + Italics / Schraeg- Shrift : German / Deutsch.
    • Green: Another Watch (In English) : Kenko Alarm Chrono KK-661 Works somewhat similarly. The paper docs show the same knobs layout as Digi-tech, but the actual watch face & knobs function have swapped the left 2 knobs. I didn't copy in Kenko wording.

Commentary / Kommentar

Setting this watch was a pig (& watch often needs it as knobs protrude, often knocked accidentally), as :
  • The small paper leaflet is small font, hard to read, expecially at night in bad light.
  • I covered paper in plastic to protect it, now it doesn't scan well to expand.
  • I can not find a manual on web (can't even find a Digi-tech watch manufacturer, just some music company).
  • Paper is written in bad German, mis-spelt in original, seems to have been translated (from Asian to German or perhaps Asian to English back to German?) (& German's a hard language to read anyway, with horrible long word concatenations in original with no spaces (eg Zifferblattbeleuchtung, Zeitablaufmessung), etc.
So I've typed it in, broken the long German words & hyphenated them. Words in English are mine. Their labelling (on paper instructions) of knobs as A B C D was less intuitive than on both physical watch faces + Kenko paper labelling as L (Light), M (ode), R (Reset), S (tart); so I did not use A B C D but L (Light), M (ode), R (Reset), S (tart)

Now I (& others who find this) have the luxury of browser scaling up to any size wanted. - Legibly !, & no need of flimsy easily damaged & lost paper.

If you find it helpful why not email a line saying eg "Thanks for/ Danke fuer Digi-tech web page/ Seite", It's be nice to know it helped people. (So far I've heard from several it helped, & one so far it did not.

3 seconds:
To get 3 seconds: Say aloud leisurely: "Mississipi One, Mississipi Two, Mississipi Three" If you just think it, most people go too fast & you get less seconds, so the watch may not be in the state you expect.
