Maintenance

1. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by one Lithium Metal battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

2. Water Resistance

Your Casio A164WA-1VES watch has a water resistance rating of 10 meters. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering, as prolonged water exposure or water pressure changes can compromise the seals.

3. Cleaning

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel bracelet, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or acrylic crystal.

Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Time is incorrect: Re-set the time according to the "Time Setting" instructions. Ensure the 12/24-hour format is correctly selected.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model typically does not have a lock). If the issue persists, a battery replacement might be necessary, or contact support.
• Alarm does not sound: Verify that the alarm is set and activated (check for the alarm indicator on the display).
