Maintenance

Water Resistance

Your Armitron Sport watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is suitable for swimming and snorkeling. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving.

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water).
• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry thoroughly.

Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses 1 Lithium-ion battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Troubleshooting

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

• Blank Display: Check if the battery needs replacement. If recently replaced, ensure it is installed correctly.
• Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model does not feature a lock). Try pressing buttons firmly. If submerged, ensure it is dry before operating buttons.
• Incorrect Time/Date: Refer to the "Setting Time and Date" section to reset.
• Water Inside Watch: If moisture appears inside the watch, stop using it immediately and seek professional service. This indicates a breach in water resistance.
