Directions for theTalking Braille Watch From Future Aids, The Braille Superstore.

Your new talking Braille watch sports only three controls, and is thus incredibly easy to set and use.

Buttons:
On the side of the watch, at the 2 o'clock position, you will find a raised button. We will call this the Talk button.

Below it, at the 3 o'clock position, is the stem for setting the hands.

At the bottom, at the 4 o'clock position, is another button, which we'll call Set.

Setting the Watch:
Braille:
To set the hands, pull out the stem at the 3 o'clock position. Turn the stem clockwise until the correct time is reached, then press the stem back in.

Talking:
The Set button allows you to select one of eight options to configure. The choices are: Hour, Minute, Year, Month, Day, Alarm Hour, Alarm Minute, and Alarm (on or off). Simply press the Set button until the watch announces the option you would like to set. Next, press the Talk button until the desired setting is reached. Finally, either wait a few seconds for the watch to return to normal mode, or press the Set button again to set another option.

For example, let's say you wanted to set your watch for the first time.

1. Press the Set button once, and Hour is heard.

2. Press the Talk button until the correct hour is reached.

3. Press the Set button again, and Minute is heard.

4. Press the Talk button until the correct minute is spoken.

5. Repeat the above steps for setting the date and alarm.

Normal Operation:
Press Talk once to hear the time.

Press Talk Twice to hear the date.

To read the Talking Braille Watch by touch:
The watch lid opens at the 6 o'clock position, letting you determine the current time by lightly touching the hands.
The Braille markings around the dial help show exactly where the hands are pointing. When done, snap the lid back into place.

That's it! We hope you enjoy your new watch!
