					<description><![CDATA[Here is the instruction to set the perpetual calendar without changing the battery on VHP three hands.

Press the crown for four times quickly, pause for 2 sec.
Then press the crown for three times and pause for 2 sec.
Finally press the crown for two times.

The hour, minute and second hands will move to 12. 
Now the watch has entered service mode and will remain in service mode for three minutes.

Rotate the crown in clockwise direction. The second hand will remain at 12 the hour and minute hand together will position at 5:30.

Now rotate the crown in clockwise. The second, minute and hour hands will take different positions on each rotation. Keep rotating in clockwise until the minute and hour together will position at 1:30 and the second hand moves to 12. Press the crown once (quick press). 
Now the second, minute, hour hand and the date window will position to should show the date set in the watch. For example April 11 2026 will be positioned like this, second hand at 4 (April), hour and minute hand together will be at 2:30 saying 2 and 6 which represents 2026. Date window should be at 11. 

If the date shown is correct, long press the crown to resume the watch without changing the date. 

Now for any reason of the date shown is not correct, follow to next steps.
Pressing the crown once (quick press), the second hand will get activated by doing a quick rotation. Position the second hand by rotating the crown to set the correct month. The crown rotation will move the second hand in increments of 5 seconds pointing from 1-12 to set the corresponding month. 
Pressing crown again (quick press) will rock the date window. Set the correct date by rotating the crown. 
Pressing crown again (quick press) will rock the minute hand. Rotate the minute hand to point the hour and minute hand to correct year. 

Long press once the date is set correctly to resume the watch.]]></description>

I think you mean to put the watch in “service mode.”  If so, someone else posted here in the comments these steps, which I haven’t tried yet:

Press the crown for four times quickly, pause for 2 sec.
Then press the crown for three times and pause for 2 sec.
Finally press the crown for two times.
The hands will begin to rotate a lot. wait until they stop. The VHP is in service mode now for three minutes. If no action follows, after three minutes the VHP will return to Time mode.]]></description>

Yes, thank you for your answer joe :)

2027 = 2:35
2028 = 2:40
2029 = 2:45
2030 = 3:00
2031 = 3:05
2032 = 3:10

I understood, but I think it&#039;ll be okay if I just memorize it like this. Oh, this is the last question. Is there a way to reset the battery without attaching and detaching it?]]></description>

If I understand what you are asking, yes.

Thinking of it as “jumping five minutes” might be confusing.  All you’re doing is pointing the second hand at the ones digit of the year, and pointing the hour at the tens digit of the year.

Saying what you just said in another way—I don’t think it’s possible to orient the minute hand at :50 (10) or :55 (11) while setting because those years would be impossible.]]></description>

So, is it right to jump for five minutes? Exceptionally, the 15-minute jump from 2029 to 2030 is only possible at the last point of the round! Is this right?]]></description>

Good catch!  That was a type-o in the table.  

It should be:

2027 = 2:35
2028 = 2:40
2029 = 2:45
2030 = 3:00
2031 = 3:05
2032 = 3:10]]></description>

Nope--I haven&#039;t tried it yet.  Though my VHP three hand needs a battery now as well.  I may be trying it sooner rather than later.]]></description>
