4. Maintenance

4.1 General Care

To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Casio watch:

• Cleaning: Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Water Resistance: While the watch features a resin case, its specific water resistance rating should be checked on the watch back or in the full manual. Avoid operating buttons underwater unless specified.
• Temperature: Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• Impact: Protect the watch from strong impacts.

4.2 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a Lithium metal battery. When the display becomes dim or functions cease, the battery may need replacement. It is highly recommended to have battery replacement performed by an authorized Casio service center or a professional watch repair shop to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Casio HDC-600-1BVES watch, consider the following common solutions:

• Watch Not Keeping Time: Check if the battery needs replacement. A weak battery can cause inaccurate timekeeping or a blank display.

• Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a battery reset or replacement might be necessary.
