Default setting Crane & Viceroy radio-controlled watch

My mum has a Crane & Viceroy radio controlled watch, and no instructions.
It has 4 buttons around the circumference, at the 2, 4, 8 and 10 o'clock
positions. If I were a betting person I'd wager that someone here knows
how to do it! Particularly need to know how to set the hands as the
miniscule LCD is a chocolate teapot for someone with her eyesight.

Try a Google search on "Crane & Viceroy radio controlled watch". It
seems to produce quite a few useful links.

BTDT... unfortunately my mum doesn't even have the instructions. Hence
hoping someone here knows how (or has instructions and can email a scan
of them or something).

if you could scan TFM I'd be very grateful (my email is valid) though I'm
only going to be here at my mum's for a couple of days so hoping for some
clue before that.

Not the 4 button version but with a bit of ingenuity, an angle grinder
and a large hammer they may help.

Thanks, but as you say the 3 button version and it's not at all obvious
what relation that has to the 4-button version.

How does one actually get the file from that site? Do you need to sign up
to an account or something?

I'm inclined towards the large hammer :-/

WTF does she want radio for? An ordinary quartz watch should be accurate
enough.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember John Stumbles
saying something like:

No, not at all. Sometimes it's very slow at going on to the next step,
ie, downloading. Probably depends on server load.
I've been using mediafire for a couple of years and it's been quite good
so far - even the free one.
