KHS Service Center Fa. Schmiemann Steinmetzstr. 27 45476 Muelheim a.d. Ruhr Germany www.khs.net | [email protected] User´s Manual | Warranty KHS PLATOON Page 1 Congratulations We would like to congratulate you on having purchased this KHS Platoon, which is a very high-quality watch, crafted in Switzerland. This KHS Platoon watch offers you high-calibre precision with highest-quality materials and components as well as ruggedness against shocks, variations in temperatures, water and dust. The KHS Platoon performs the following functions: • Analog Time Indication • Centre Second (red) • Calendar Indication • H3 Illumination System with 15 Trigalights To ensure that your KHS Platoon operates with perfect precision for many years to come, we advise you to pay very careful attention to the advice provided in this user's manual. Please read the instructions pertaining specifically to your KHS Platoon on the following pages. GTLS – Gaseous Tritium Light Sources | Triglights This KHS Platoon is equipped with the best GTLS currently available on the market and which are made by the Swiss firm mb-microtec. GTLS are minute, hermetically sealed glass vials that have a fluorescent coating on the inside. They contain a small amount of gaseous tritium. The electrons emitted by the tritium gas permanently excite the fluorescent coating. GTLS which come from the market leader mb-microtec have a longevity of 20 years or more. Although the initial brightness of the light sources is affected by a variety of factors, a certain decrease in brightness is unavoidable over time, however. The so-called half-life of tritium is somewhat more than 12 years. After this period elapses, the brightness is noticeably less, but substantially higher than that of conventionally illuminated watches. GTLS and all other electronic watch components must always disposed of within the framework of existing legislation. If you want disposed of your KHS Platoon, please contact your authorised KHS dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center. Battery | Continuation CAUTION: Do not take the battery out of your watch on your own. If it should be necessary to remove the battery, however, make sure that it is out of reach of children. Seek medical attention immediately, if the battery is swallowed. Never short-circuit, open or expose the battery to heat or throw into fire, since it would otherwise explode, overheat or cause a fire. PLEASE NOTE: The battery cannot be recharged. Attempting to recharge it may result in battery acid leaking or damage to the battery. Batteries and all other electronic watch components do not belong in normal household waste and, thus, must always disposed of within the framework of existing legislation. If you want disposed of your KHS Platoon, please contact your KHS authorised dealer or your relevant KHS Service Center. Battery This KHS Platoon possesses a high-quality Swiss quartz movement that is battery-powered such that winding is not necessary. According to the movement's manufacturer, the battery should last 60 months with a rate variation of just approx. ±0.66 seconds a day. You only have to set the time and date. Since the battery is installed by the manufacture to check the functionality of the movement, its expected useful life may be less than cited due to time in storage. If the battery is dis- charged, it should always be replaced as soon as possible in order to prevent any possible battery leakage. We recommend that you have the battery replaced by an authorised KHS dealer. IMPORTANT: Even though the manufacture of the movement cites a service life of up to 36 months for the quartz movement installed in this KHS Platoon, we would advise you to have the battery replaced every 24 months or 2 years at least! Doing so ensures that there is no possible battery leakage, which could result in repairing or replacing the entire watch movement. Crown To ensure the stated watertightness, this KHS Platoon is designed with a easy to use crown-seal. The crown only has to be pulled out in order to set the time or date and then to be pushed back in. Pulling the crown: Take the crown between one's thumb and finger. Afterwards pull the crown carefully up to the first lock-in position (Setting the date in quick mode) or the second lock-in position (Setting the Time). Closing the crown: Push the crown back in to the starting position. IMPORTANT: After every time you change the time or date, make sure that the crown is pushed back in to ensure that the watch remains watertight. Under no circumstances should you ever use force or tools to pull the crown or push it back in place. Watertightness Your KHS Platoon is watertight up to 5 bar. For that reason, your watch is suited, of course, for swimming, bathing, car washing, to scrub up or any other normal contact with water. To make sure that your KHS Platoon remains watertight, we recommend you to take it to an authorised KHS dealer to have them check all the seals and the crystal periodically. We also advise you to have the battery replaced every 2 years (e.g. directly with the battery replacement recommended by us). Do NOT allow your KHS Platoon to come in contact with chemicals. In order to ensure that your watch remains fully functional for a long time, you should protect your watch from extreme temperatures and vibrations. IMPORTANT: Make sure that the crown is pushed in to the case before allowing your watch to come in contact with water. The crown may not be actuated, when the watch is immersed in water or still wet. After use in saltwater, you should rinse your watch thoroughly using freshwater and then allow it to dry completely.
