When looking at the face, you have 4 pushers. Top left is for regatta function countdown. Top right is regatta function start-stop-reset. Bottom left is Hours-Minutes and Nite Lite. Bottom right is regatta function "catch up". Assuming that you want to set Hours and Minutes, press and hold the bottom left for 3 seconds...Hours will start blinking, press the pusher successively until the desired hour is reached. Then wait until it stops blinking. To set minutes, press and hold for 3 seconds, the hours will again begin to blink, then release and re-press for an additional 3 seconds and the minutes will blink, Then press successively until desired minutes have been reached. Stop pressing and wait until the blinking has stopped. Once it has stopped blinking your time has been successfully registered. Good Luck. Hope this helps!
