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. -- John Stumbles The rain, it rains upon the Just, and on the Unjust fella But more upon the Just because the Unjust's got the Just's umbrella |

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

Hence hoping someone here knows how (or has instructions and can email a scan of them or something). -- John Stumbles Procrastinate now! |

Do you need to sign up to an account or something? Not the 4 button version but with a bit of ingenuity, an angle grinder and a large hammer they may help. I'm inclined towards the large hammer :-/ WTF does she want radio for? An ordinary quartz watch should be accurate enough. -- John Stumbles Many hands make light work.

setting Crane & Viceroy radio-controlled watch
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: http://www.mediafire.com/?yicaltrejmm How does one actually get the file from that site? Do you need to sign up to an account or something? 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. |
