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 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 Super Protection 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 (some at least of the functions on the right 1 also seem as if they're swapped, though I've stuck to their nomenclature). I didn't copy in Kenko wording.

Commentary / Kommentar

Setting this watch was a pig (& watch often needs it as knobs protrude, often pushed 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.
  • Even the sections of original instructions were stupidly ordered, they started with setting alarm time, whereas obviously everyone first wants to set the time, & periodically reset time again when knobs get pushed by accident, etc.
So I typed it in, then deliberately broke up the horribly long German words (with no spaces or hyphens) & 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 (Mode), R (Reset), S (Start); so I did not use A B C D but L (Light), M (ode), R (Reset), S (Start)
(There was no need for A B C D even in German (as words similar: L (Licht), M (Modus), R (Reset(/Ruck-Setzen ?), S (Start); (So maybe A B C D was from Asiatic manufacturer & my manual in German was done by an Asian firm perhaps ?))

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 email me a line saying eg "Thanks for/ Danke fuer Digi-tech web page/ Seite", It's nice to know it helps people. (So far I've heard from several it's helped, & one who gave up on her Digi-Tech.


If the watch seems to respond more or less OK, but is erratic, or if display is faint, if it can't be set properly remove

Battery, install a new battery AG3 = LR41 = 392 (which new should have 1.5 Volts or more) clean contacts, ensure contacts still springy (or gently bend it so it will stlll make good contact).

(2020-03 I noticed with my Digi-Tech the display was blank, moved it to another room to change battery, next morning it was working (maybe movement or different temperature had resuscitated battey ? But I couldn't set the month, & all the flashing was too fast (maybe 10+ a second instead of maybe 3 a second) while setting other things, then by the time I got to the month I coulldn't set that. the old battery was down to 1.25 Volts. A new battery fixed the watch.)

Setting 12 or 24 Hour Mode / 12/24- Stunden- Anzeige- format zur Wahl

Hold RESET_knob pressed continuously, Observe on left side, of row at middle height, main display shows
  • Pulse the MODE_knob periodically
  • If time is after mid night, eg 01:30 then Display alternates between: "AM 12:00 A" and "0:00 A"
  • If time is after mid day, eg 14:25 then Display alternates between: "PM 12:00 P" and "12:00 P"
  • The tiny AM or PM on the far left alternately appears & disappears; (it is difficult to even notice or determine it is there, except by transitioning it on & off with MODE_knob).
  • If the tiny AM or PM symbol shows on the left, watch is in 12 hour mode, not 24 hour mode.
  • The tiny "PM" needs bright sunlight or a magnifying glass). & the "P" of "PM" can fall into shadow of left edge of display if the only light is sun from window into room on your left (my case when I edit this) ),
  • If switching from 12 to 24:00 display, the 24:00 only starts after releasing Reset knob.

Setting Alarm & Chime On/Off / Wecker und Chime Ein-/Aus- stellen

First observe what state watch is in:

Alarm Top Left Bell
Chime Top Right Dot + 3 concentric curves, progressively larger to right

Next, starting in normal display mode, while holding RESET_knob in continuously, push START_knob 1 to 4 times to select through 4 successive variations of:
  • Alarm On , Chime Off
  • Alarm On , Chime On
  • Alarm Off, Chime On
  • Alarm Off, Chime Off
Note 1 push of START_knob does not necessarily put watch on 1st line, 1 push merely moves watch on down 1 state from previous state.

    Push & hold RESET_knob in, then also push START_knob, which toggles on & off the alarm (Symbol comprises 3 concentric arcs of circles, progressively larger the further left of the radial dot on right, symbol is outside & lower left from the gold colour circle painted on the plastic (gold paint obviously not on LCD itself).
    It beeps each time Alarm is turned On
  • Chime (On each hour)
    The hourly chime (brief beep) is presumably indicated by the flashing symbol, upper on the LCD, within the (gold colour) circle painted on the plastic.
    • I do not know how to change this.
    • It was off before, yet became On after I installed a new battery (AG12=386).
    • It is not changed by any combined binary mapping to alarm + chime enables, of count eg 1,2,3,4 of presses on START_knob).
    • It is not changed by holding in START_knob & pushing RESET_knob
    • It is not changed by holding in RESET_knob & pushing MODE_knob

Counting Seconds

Many people count seconds too fast, (so may then fail to Set Normal Time / Ein- Stellen der Normal- zeit ), So 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.
