Maintenance
Cleaning:
Wipe the stopwatch with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the display or casing.
Battery Replacement:
When the display becomes dim or unresponsive, it's time to replace the batteries. Use 2 LR44 batteries. Open the battery compartment on the back of the stopwatch using a small screwdriver. Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries. Close the compartment securely to maintain water resistance.
Water, Dust & Shock Resistance:
The Adanac 3000 is designed to be water, dust, and shock resistant. While it can withstand splashes and brief immersion, it is not intended for prolonged underwater use. Ensure the battery compartment is properly sealed after replacement to maintain water resistance. Avoid dropping the stopwatch from significant heights to prevent damage.
The stopwatch is built to withstand various conditions, making it suitable for active use.
