UNBOXING & REGULAR CARE

UNBOXING
Thank you for purchasing Kross Studio watch winder. As the winder weighs approximately 2kg, it is important to take extreme caution when manipulating it. Handle it with care as negligent manipulation might alter the precision of the winder.
The box and the thermoforming foams have been conceived for safe transportation.
In order not to alter the winder during transport, the winding motor is not assembled to its support in the packaging.
We guide you to assemble your watch winder on page 5 of this manual.

REGULAR CARE
Clean your product by wiping it down carefully with a soft microfiber cloth.
If needed, you may use a solvent-free cleaner to spray on the cloth. Do not spray any liquid directly on the winder.
The watch winder is designed for use in a temperature range from 10˚C to 40˚C (50˚F to 104˚F). Using your winder at low temperatures can significantly decrease the battery life.

2 flashes: 30% charge
A flash every 2 seconds means it is time to change the batteries.
