The Armitron ProSport MD0346 is a multi-functional digital watch designed for active individuals, offering a comprehensive suite of timekeeping, tracking, and alarm features. Its robust design and water resistance make it suitable for various environments and activities.

Function Description:

The watch primarily operates in a Time Telling Mode, displaying Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Date, and Day of the Week. This is the default mode from which all other features are accessed.

The Chronograph Mode (Stopwatch) allows for precise timing with a resolution of 1/100 of a second, up to 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds. It includes a Split Time function, enabling users to record multiple intermediate times without stopping the main timer. This is particularly useful for tracking laps or segments in sports.

A Countdown Timer is integrated, allowing users to set a specific duration and receive an alarm when the time expires. This feature is versatile for various tasks requiring timed intervals.

The watch includes a Calendar Mode that displays the Month, Date, and Day of the Week, ensuring users are always aware of the current date.

For alarms, the MD0346 offers 24 Hour Alarms, allowing up to five distinct alarms to be set for daily reminders. Additionally, a Hourly Chime provides a single 'Beep' sound at the top of every hour, a useful auditory cue for time awareness.

A unique Birthday Mode allows users to set specific birthdays, which will trigger an alarm on the designated date, providing a personalized reminder. Up to eight birthdays can be set.

The Second Time Zone feature is convenient for travelers or those who need to keep track of time in a different geographical location.

The watch supports both 12-Hour and 24-Hour (Military) Time formats, offering flexibility based on user preference.

An INSTALITE - Electro Luminescent Display ensures visibility in low-light conditions, illuminating the digital display with the press of a button.

Maintenance Features:

Changing the Battery:

The manual advises changing the battery when the watch slows, the readout darkens, or the backlight fails. Users are instructed to note the polarity of the old battery before removal and replace it with the same kind or equivalent. It is recommended that this be done by a qualified watch technician or a local jeweler, as the watch contains precise electronic components. The manufacturer explicitly states that it is not necessary to return the watch to them for battery replacement.

Water Resistance:

The watch is described as "WATER RESISTANT." Users are cautioned not to operate push buttons below the surface of the water. In case of water or condensation appearing inside the watch, it should be checked immediately, as water can corrode internal electronic parts. The specific depth rating is not provided, but the general advice suggests it is suitable for everyday exposure to water rather than prolonged submersion or diving.

Servicing and Repairs:

Armitron emphasizes the use of their nationwide service centers for cleaning, lubrication, battery changing, crystal replacement, or any other repairs. These centers use approved parts and components. Free estimates are available for repairs not covered under warranty. For warranty claims, proof of purchase (receipt) is required.

Returning Watch for Servicing:

Users are instructed not to return the watch to the place of purchase. Instead, they should contact Armitron directly (via phone or website) for a list of approved service centers. When mailing the watch for service, it should be carefully packed in a sturdy box (not a gift box) and mailed to the nearest authorized service station. It is strongly recommended to insure the watch and request a return receipt due to possible loss in transit. Users are advised not to include special watch bands or other personal valuables in the shipment.
