6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SANDA 6198 watch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat. For stubborn grime, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.
• Water Resistance: The watch is 50 meters (5ATM) water-resistant, suitable for daily use, hand washing, rain, and short periods of swimming. However, it is NOT suitable for hot water activities (e.g., hot showers, saunas) or diving. Do not operate buttons underwater.
• Avoid Chemicals: Keep the watch away from solvents, detergents, perfumes, and other chemical substances that may damage the strap or case.
• Temperature Extremes: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme hot or cold temperatures, as this can affect battery life and accuracy.
• Shock Resistance: While shock-resistant, avoid severe impacts or dropping the watch to prevent internal damage.
• Battery Replacement: When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watch repair service to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your SANDA 6198 watch, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Digital Display is Blank or Dim:
  – Check if the battery needs replacement.
• Time is Inaccurate:
  – Re-set the time following the instructions in Section 4.1. If the problem persists, the battery may be low or require professional inspection.
• Buttons are Unresponsive:
  – Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not explicitly stated for this model). Try pressing buttons firmly. If unresponsive, a battery issue or internal fault may be present.
• Water Inside the Watch:
  – If condensation or water droplets appear inside the watch, stop using it immediately and seek professional repair. This indicates a breach in the water resistance.

For issues not covered here, please contact customer support.

8. User Tips

• Strap Adjustment: The resin strap is flexible. Adjust the buckle to ensure a comfortable fit on your wrist, not too tight or too loose.
• Backlight Usage: While convenient, frequent use of the backlight can drain the battery faster. Use it only when necessary.
• Water Resistance Awareness: Remember that 50m water resistance means it can withstand splashes and brief immersion, but it's not designed for prolonged underwater activities or high-pressure water exposure.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check the watch for any signs of wear or damage, especially the strap and case back, to prevent potential issues.

9. Warranty and Support
