Maintenance

1. Water Resistance Precautions

• This watch is water resistant to 100 meters. It is suitable for swimming and snorkeling, but not for scuba diving.
• Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise seals.
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and wipe it dry with a soft cloth.

2. Cleaning

• Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture.
• For resin bands, a mild soap solution and a soft brush can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.

3. Battery Replacement

The watch is equipped with a long-life battery designed to last approximately 10 years. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

Troubleshooting

• Digital Display is Blank or Dim:

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

• Analog Hands Do Not Match Digital Time:

  Adjust the analog hands manually using the Hand Setting Mode as described in the Setup section.

• Buttons Are Unresponsive:

  Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable). If the issue persists, a full reset might be necessary (consult a service center), or it could indicate a battery issue.

• Moon Phase/Tide Graph Data is Incorrect:

  Verify that your Latitude, Longitude, and Lunitidal Interval settings are correct for your current location. Incorrect settings will lead to inaccurate readings.

• Water Appears Inside the Watch:

  Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Water intrusion can cause severe damage to internal components.
