5. Maintenance

5.1 Water Resistance

Figure 4: Water resistance capabilities of the PDS-644 watch.

• The PDS-644 watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for daily use, such as splashes, rain, and short periods of immersion in water (e.g., showering or bathing).
• DO NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can damage the seals.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and wipe it dry.

5.2 Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and band regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and sweat.
• For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, which can damage the watch's finish.

5.3 Battery Replacement

• When the digital display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement.
• Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Digital Display is Blank or Dim

• Cause: Low battery.
• Solution: Replace the battery.

6.2 Analog Hands Not Moving

• Cause: Crown is pulled out, or battery is low/dead.
• Solution: Push the crown back in. If still not moving, replace the battery.

6.3 Time is Incorrect

• Cause: Time was not set correctly or was accidentally reset.
• Solution: Follow the 'Time Setting' instructions in Section 3 to reset both analog and digital times.

6.4 Water Inside the Watch

• Cause: Buttons pressed underwater, crown not fully pushed in, or seals are compromised.
• Solution: Immediately take the watch to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to dry it yourself.

7. User Tips

• Regular Sync: Periodically check and synchronize the analog and digital times to ensure accuracy, especially after battery changes.
• Button Awareness: Familiarize yourself with the function of each button to avoid accidental changes to settings.
• Band Comfort: The silicone band is designed for comfort and durability. Adjust it to a snug fit without being too tight for optimal wear during activities.
