Maintenance and Care
Battery Information
Your Casio F91WG-9 watch is powered by a CR2016 battery, which has an approximate life of 7 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.
Water Resistance
This watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as prolonged water exposure or high-pressure water jets can compromise the water resistance.
General Care
- Clean the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight for extended periods, or strong magnetic fields.
- Protect the watch from strong impacts or shocks.
- Avoid contact with solvents, detergents, perfumes, or other chemicals, as they can damage the resin materials.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
- Time is incorrect: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the "Setting the Time and Date" section.
- Alarm or Hourly Time Signal not sounding: Ensure the alarm/chime is activated in the Alarm Mode. Check for the corresponding indicator on the display.
- Light not working: This could indicate a low battery. If other functions work, the light may be the first to be affected by low power.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not exposed to extreme cold or heat. If the issue persists, a professional inspection may be required.
