Setup

Setting the Time and Date:

1. Unscrew the Crown: Gently rotate the crown (located at the 3 o'clock position) counter-clockwise until it loosens and pops out to position 1.
2. Set the Date: Pull the crown out one more click to position 2. Rotate the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
3. Set the Time: Pull the crown out to position 3. Rotate the crown to set the hour and minute hands. To ensure accuracy, synchronize with a reliable time source.
4. Secure the Crown: Once the time and date are set, push the crown back in and screw it clockwise firmly against the case to maintain water resistance.

Note: Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposing the watch to water.

Operating Instructions

Using the Unidirectional Bezel:

The unidirectional rotating bezel is a key feature for divers and for timing various activities. To use it:

1. Align the bezel's zero marker with the minute hand at the start of your activity.
2. The bezel will only rotate counter-clockwise, preventing accidental increases in timed duration.
3. Read the elapsed time by observing the minute hand's position relative to the bezel's markings.

Water Resistance:

The MDV106 watch is rated for 200 meters (20 BAR) of water resistance. This means it is suitable for recreational diving, swimming, and snorkeling. However, it is not intended for saturation diving. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

To maintain the appearance and function of your watch, regularly wipe the case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For resin bands, you can use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement:

The watch is powered by a single battery with an approximate 3-year lifespan. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start moving in two-second intervals. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

Watch Not Functioning:

• Check Crown Position: Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down. If it's pulled out, the watch will not operate.
• Battery Life: If the watch stops or the second hand moves erratically, the battery may need replacement.
• Impact/Damage: If the watch has sustained a significant impact or shows signs of physical damage, consult an authorized service center.

Water Inside the Watch:

• If moisture or condensation appears inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
