Operating Your Watch
1. Time Display Modes
Your watch typically displays time in a 12-hour or 24-hour format. Use the MODE button to cycle through different display modes such as time, date, alarm, and stopwatch.
2. Stopwatch Function (Chronomètre)

- Press the MODE button until the stopwatch display appears (usually showing "00:00:00").
- Press the START/STOP button to begin timing.
- Press START/STOP again to pause or stop the timing.

3. Backlight Function (Eclairage)
To illuminate the display in low-light conditions, press the LIGHT button. The backlight will typically stay on for a few seconds.
4. Water Resistance
The Calypso K5571/1 watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. It is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water seal.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning Your Watch
The watch features a polyurethane strap and a mineral glass dial window. To clean your watch:
- Wipe the watch case and strap with a soft, damp cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish and materials.
- Ensure the watch is completely dry before wearing it again.
2. Battery Replacement
When the battery needs replacement, it is recommended to take your watch to an authorized Calypso service center or a reputable watch repair shop. This ensures that the correct battery type is used and the water resistance seal is properly re-installed.
3. Water Resistance Care
To maintain the water resistance of your watch:
- Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower followed by cold water).
- Do not press any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
- Have the water resistance seals checked periodically, especially if the watch is frequently exposed to water.
