1.Take module out.
2.Since it is winter and your skin may be dry - go wash you hands(seriously).
3.Put two batteries into module and carefully line up back with two batteries, as if module were in watch.
4. Now, since your body is touching the back while you hold the backon, you have the first part of the neccesary electrical connection made. Take a finger from other hand and touch contact at top(front of module - it should light. If not, try bottom contact - if
it doesn't light, you are doing something wrong. Re-read instructions above.
5.If it lights when you touch top contact, then your problem is merely a bad contact/connection between the module and the small "nipple" of the button that is supposed to touch it. Caress the "nipple gently" - I mean clean it gently.
6. Clean module contact gently - you
might elect to bend it outward the smallest amount. Be sure to use
two tools, one to support the part of the contact you are not bending - bending it without grabbing it right before the module is asking for it to be BROKEN off the module.
But see if cleaning helps before bending.
7. You
can put the
merest trace of silver bearing grease on the "nipple" or you can put a small amount of silver bearing epoxy on it
but only use one part of the epoxy - in other words don't mix the two parts "A" & "B" together!! Just use either part "A" or "B". You don't want to glue your watch together! One part by itself will merely get gummy - it will easily clean off with alcohol even years later.
Godspeed and good hunting!
A suggestion on silver epoxy - if you store the tubes upright the silver will settle away from the tip and you will mainly be blobbing out silver colored epoxy
base for first 2/3 of tube, then it will generally clog. Stored the other way it will expend a large portion of the silver during first 1/2 of tube, then just puke out silver colerd epoxy base....if it hasn't already clogged and totally pissed you off.
Find two small glass jars(like model paint comes in, or artists store mixed tints in) and cut the
entire top off your new epoxy tubes, squirting every bit of it into their respective jars. Whenever you use it, give each of the two parts a quick stir with a clean toothpick or such. You'll alway have a consistent mix of silver to base and your epoxy will go incredibly far, since most repairs only require the smallest drop. You can use your stirrer to dip out the small amount you need.
At $25-30 for a pair of 1/4 ounce tubes, it can get expensive if you use much of it.
And the more consistent results are priceless.
