Page 9: Operating Instructions
Operating Instructions Charging the Battery The watch is shipped with a charged battery. When the battery runs down to about 20% remaining charge, the watch will indicate this by causing the display of the minutes to flicker. This is a warning that you should charge the watch in the next day or so. - Page 10 Tens of minutes setting (left digit flashes) Units of minutes setting (right digit flashes) Seconds reset (counting seconds shown) Tilt angle (displays ‘45’) Normal display mode Go ahead and press the lower Set button seven times to observe the modes listed above. When you have finished the cycling through the setting modes, the display will be blank again.
- Page 11 Press Set to enter the seconds reset mode. If you like, you may reset the seconds to 00 when your reference clock reaches the top of the minute. However, the setting mode automatically turns itself off after 30 seconds have elapsed without any button pushes, so press Adv every few seconds to stay in time-setting mode.

Page 12: Maintenance
Maintenance Changing the battery The battery is expected to last for several years. If it fails to hold a charge, it will require replacement. Contact Cathode Corner as shown on page 8 for a replacement battery. Water resistance The Nixie watch is designed to be water resistant, but it is not sealed against pressure. - Page 13 Replacement tubes are available from Cathode Corner at nominal cost. It is wise to have Cathode Corner replace the tube(s) for you unless you are a skilled technician with access to a stereo microscope. If you still wish to do it yourself, then please take the time to read all the instructions below.
- Page 14 Lift the module out by prying up on the left side of the circuit board with a tiny flat screwdriver to release the double-side tape that holds it down. Don’t worry, there are no circuit traces below that part of the board. The old tubes may be removed by simply pulling its nipple end up to clear the transformer, then pulling it out of the socket.
- Page 15 The two pairs of pins nearest the back of the tube often have trouble entering the socket unless they are bent just a little bit towards the other pins. So do that. A distance of .020” (0.5 mm) is sufficient. Now hold the module in one hand while holding the tube in the other hand, and guide the tube into place.
- Page 16 Install the battery and replace the cover, then set the time. Check that the tubes are displaying all digits (0-5 for the left tube, 0-9 for the right tube) properly. Cathode Corner 2560 E Ross Pl. Tucson AZ 85716 www.cathodecorner.com...
