Maintenance
Cleaning Your Watch

- Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish.
Water Resistance
Your FILA 38-325-001 watch features 10 ATM (100 meters) water resistance. This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. However, it is not recommended for diving. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged in water to prevent water ingress.

Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low. Replace the CR2 battery.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not specified for this model). If the issue persists, a battery replacement or reset may be required.
- Time is incorrect: Re-set the time following the "Setting Time and Date" instructions. If the time consistently loses accuracy, the battery may be weak.
- Water inside the watch: Despite water resistance, extreme temperature changes or impacts can compromise seals. Do not attempt to open the watch. Seek professional service immediately.
