Why do I need a watch winder?
All automatic watches use the everyday motions of our hands in order
for it to generate power for itself. These watches do not carry a battery
and therefore uses a power reserve in the watch to keep the movement
going even when the watch isn’t being worn. Depending on the watch,
the reserve generally lasts for a period of 24-40 hours. If a watch is not
being worn for a period of time which is longer than the reserve time, it
will stop keeping time. There are many reasons why a person might not
wear their watch for a period longer than their reserve. For example,
if you have multiple watches, you might rotate watches throughout the
week, or you may go on a vacation and opt to leave your watch behind.
Whatever the reason may be, eventually the reserve will fade and your
watch will ultimately stop keeping time. This can be a greater nuisance
if your watch has a moon phase feature which requires a more tedious
setting to readjust it.
The solution to this problem is to use a Volta watch winder, which
basically mimics the everyday motions made by your hand in order to
keep the watch running and accurate. All Volta winders have the option
of turning clockwise, counter clockwise, or a combination of both. It
also has four different Turns-Per-Day (TPD) settings, which ensures that
it will work for any type of watch.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)
1. Can my watch ever be over-wound?
a. Yes, it is possible to over-wind your watch. Some winders continuously
turn all day long, which eventually will put extra tension on the internal
mechanisms of your watch, and may eventually ruin the movement of
the watch. In order to protect the valuable watches of our customers,
each and every one of our winders feature a programmed timer setting
which ensures that it rotates for certain amount of time, then rests, then
repeats. This added feature allows you to never have to worry about
over-winding your watch because it doesn’t constantly turn like other
brands do. You can rest assure that none of our winders will ever over-
wind your watch!
2. How do I know which Turns-Per-Day setting is right for my watch?
a. Each and every watch has a different TPD requirement in order to keep
it running. Please check our website (www.voltawinders.com) for the most
up to date list on TPD requirements for most watches. Generally, the rule
of thumb is that you want to use the lowest turns per day setting that
will keep your watch wound. So, if you can’t access our website or your
watch isn’t listed, try setting it to go clockwise and counter-clockwise,
and then set it to the lowest TPD setting. If this doesn’t keep your watch
wound, use the next higher TPD setting until you find one that works for
your watch.

Initial Operation:
1. Before powering the unit on
a. Make sure to position the winder on top of a level surface in order
to allow optimum operation. Plug the adapter into the back of the unit,
then plug the other end into the wall outlet.
2. How to mount the watch onto the holder
a. Make sure the winder is powered off before attempting to pull out
the watch holder.
b. In order to detach the watch holder, push the two handles on both
sides of the holder together until the holder detaches from the
mount.
c. On the underside of the holder, there is a spring loaded adjuster.
Push it in all the way and it should lock itself into place.
d. Put the watch around the holder, and center it. Close the watch
around the holder.
e. On each side of the watch holder, there is a circle underneath the
handles. Push both of the circles in on each side (towards each
other) and the spring loaded adjuster should release, therefore
securing your watch into place.
f. Affix the watch holder onto the winder mount.
g. The winder can now be turned on.

3. Inserting the Batteries
Batteries are used in the LCD Display to ensure that your settings remain
programmed in the winder even if there is a loss of power to the actual
winder itself.
**PLEASE DO NOT USE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES**
To insert new batteries (or replace used batteries), remove the cover on the
battery compartment. If you are replacing old batteries, illuminated LED’s
indicate which battery needs to be replaced. Insert new batteries and make
sure to position them according to the + or – sign shown on the battery
compartment.
Full batteries should provide an operating time of approximately one year
depending on the manufacturer and quality. Furthermore, frequent use
of the speed-winding mode, high TPD speeds, or frequent use of the display
can lead to a shorter battery life.
If the winder is not being used for an extended period of time, please make
sure to remove the batteries to avoid any leakage.
