DIGITAL WATCH USER INSTRUCTIONS May 27, 2006 - 05:59 PM On 5/26/2006 I bought from Walmart a $6.43 watch, on the back of which is written "AH 1175, 52, Battery CR2025, China Module, FMD, Base Metal Bezel, Stainless Steel Back, 100ft Water Resistant". It has no control buttons on top (where buttons may be accidentally pushed), the display is larger and more visible, and the color is dark, so I bought it even though I prefer models that have a fabric/velcro wrist-strap.
Four buttons on this watch are labelled: Light, Mode, Reset, and St/Sp. The instructions which I found inside its container refer to the Light button as A, the Mode button as B, the Reset button as C, and the Start/Stop button as D, but otherwise do not pertain to the watch, so I determined the button's functions by trial and error, as follows:
--
TO SELECT THE DISPLAY MODE
Push the Mode Button in order to select one of the following four display modes in the following order: Normal Time, Stop Watch, Alarm Reset, Time Reset.
In the Normal Time Mode, the Day of Week, the Hour, Minute and Second are displayed (none flash). If the Alarm and Hourly Chime icons are not displayed, the Alarm and Hourly Chime are turned off.
--
TO DISPLAY DAY OF WEEK, HOUR, MINUTE, SECOND AND WHETHER THE ALARM AND HOURLY CHIMES ARE ON:
Push the Mode button until no icon is flashing. The Alarm and Hourly Chimes are off if no Alarm or Chime icon is displayed beside the Second display.
--
TO DISPLAY THE DAY, MONTH AND DAY OF WEEK AND WHETHER THE ALARM AND HOURLY CHIMES ARE ON:
In Normal Time Mode, push the Start/Stop button. The Alarm and Hourly Chimes are off if no Alarm or Chime icon is displayed.
--
TO DISPLAY THE ALARM TIME
In Normal Time Mode, push the Reset button. The P or A beside the Alarm Time indicates PM or AM time. The P or A below the Alarm Time indicates a 12 hour clock; an H indicates a 24 hour clock.
--
TO STOP/START THE ALARM AND HOURLY CHIMES
In Normal Time Mode, hold the Start/Stop button down and push the Reset button (the Date and Day of Week will be displayed) to turn the preset Alarm and Hourly Chimes on, or off (to save the battery). To test the alarm, hold the Reset button down. The alarm and chimes are off when the alarm and chimes icons are not displayed.
--
TO STOP THE HOURLY CHIME
In Normal Time Mode, hold down the Reset button (the Alarm Time will be displayed) and push the Mode button until the Day of Week display is no longer highlighted; otherwise the hourly chime drains the battery.
--

To Fast/Forward until the correct number is displayed, hold the Start/Stop button down.
To set the Month of the Year, select the Time Reset Mode and push the Reset button until the Month of the Year number flashes; push the Start/Stop button until the correct Month of the Year is displayed and push the Reset Button.
To set the Day of Month, select the Time Reset Mode and push the Reset button until the Day of Month number flashes; push the Start/Stop button until the correct Day of Month is displayed and push the Reset Button.
To set the Day of Week, select the Time Reset Mode and push the Reset button until the Day of Week display flashes; push the Start/Stop button to until the correct Day of Week is displayed and push the Reset Button.
To set the Hour, select the Time Reset Mode and push the Reset button until the Hour number flashes; push the Start/Stop button until the correct Hour is displayed and push the Reset Button. For a 24 hour clock, push the reset button until an H is displayed. For a 12 hour clock, push the reset button until an A or P is displayed.
To set the Second, select the Time Reset Mode and push the Reset button until the Second number flashes. The Second number resets to Zero everytime the Start/Stop button is pushed. If the Start/Stop button is pushed as soon as the Second hand on your computer and watch are the same, the watch will be accurate to one second (to set your computer time to the second, log on to the Internet, right click on your PC's time display, select ADJUST DATE/TIME, INTERNET TIME, UPDATE NOW). The setting of the Second number will not be affected by setting the Minute number afterwards.
After the Second number is set, set the Minute number by selecting the Time Reset Mode and pushing the Reset button until the Minute number flashes; push the Start/Stop button until the correct Minute is displayed and push the Reset Button.

Hi davohoh.

Sorry for not replying sooner.
Not sure how much help I can be other than relating my own experience of this.

I've "stored" my own Piaggio MP3 250 (1997 model) a few times for "extended periods" and never really had a problem ....
(except once when it didn't want to unlock the tilt mechanism and just beeped at me when I tried - after trying many many times it just did it and never failed again)

.... until the last time in July 2014 when I had your ALARM problem.

It had been parked on June 15th when I went on holiday and left for 25 days - I returned on July 10th.

When I turned the key and the ignition lights all came on so did the alarm, sounding loud and constantly.
Turned it off and back on - still the alarm.
Repeated several times - still the alarm.
Seem to remember trying to unlock the tilt mechanism - can't remember if it did or not but the alarm kept sounding.

Tried starting it and I think it took a while turning over (definitely not an immediate fire-up - but this was probably down to it standing for almost 4 weeks) before bursting into life but it did start.

I thought this was quite surprising given the alarm was still going off and IF it thought it was being stolen, or was an immobiliser issue, that this would be possible.

I then definitely unlocked the tilt mechanism and rode it a very short distance (20 feet) - the alarm was still sounding.

Stopped, turned off the ignition and back on again.
Think the alarm went off again and I started it again.

Not absolutely sure but either the alarm just stopped sounding as the bike was ticking over, or it did after I turned it off/on and started it another once or twice.

Once it was "silent" it never went off again.
Stopped, started, drove, parked, left overnight, left 3 or 4 days, never had the same problem again in the 8 weeks since.

Strangely enough another fault got "fixed" whilst it was parked for these 25 days.

The remote control key unlocking of the seat catch had stopped working and hadn't worked for several weeks at least (possibly months) despite attempts to fix it (reprogramming?) as per a few suggestions I'd found on the Internet.

Sadly despite working for about 7 weeks since July 10th this failed a few days ago and I can no longer open the seat using the key.
The little green LED flashes on the key but there is just no click from the actuating solenoid. I need to look into this further - even change the battery in the key - just a thought !

Hope this helps

I just bought a Sportline 241 last week. The instructions are as follows. Note that there are no instructions for setting the 12/24 hour time option. Mine is in 24 hour mode (which is what I wanted), but I do not recall if it arrived that way or if I stumbled onto this mode when setting the time/date or alarm functions.

I hope this helps.
