Maintenance and Care
Water Resistance:
The SANDA 2198 watch has a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use, showering, and swimming in shallow water. However, do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal and lead to damage.
Cleaning:
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
- For silicone straps, mild soap and water can be used. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or acrylic mirror.
Battery:
The watch uses an imported original battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not explicitly stated for this model). If the issue persists, a reset might be needed (consult a professional if unsure).
- Time is incorrect: Re-enter the time setting mode and adjust the time and date as described in the 'Setup' section.
- Water inside the watch: Immediately stop using the watch and take it to a professional watch repair service. Do not attempt to open it yourself.
