4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your watch.

4.1. Water Resistance

This watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 BAR). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving. Do not operate the watch buttons or crown while the watch is wet or submerged in water.

4.2. Cleaning

Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stainless steel bands, a soft brush with mild soapy water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents.

4.3. Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a quartz movement. When the battery runs low, the display may dim or the watch may stop functioning. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Casio service center or a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your watch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Watch is not keeping accurate time (Analog or Digital):

  Ensure the time settings are correct as described in Section 2. If the issue persists, the battery may be low and require replacement.

• Digital display is blank or dim:

  This typically indicates a low battery. Replace the battery at an authorized service center.

• Buttons are unresponsive:

  Check if the watch is wet. Do not operate buttons underwater. If the watch is dry and buttons are still unresponsive, there might be an internal malfunction requiring professional inspection.

• Condensation inside the watch:

  If condensation appears inside the watch glass and does not clear quickly, it may indicate a breach in water resistance. Seek immediate professional service to prevent further damage.
