6. Care and Maintenance

6.1 Water Resistance (50M)

Figure 6.1: The watch is designed for 50M precision waterproofing.

Your PINDOWS PDS-603 watch is designed with 50-meter (5ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:

• Cold baths
• Being drenched in rain
• Swimming
• Handwashing

IMPORTANT NOTE:

• DO NOT press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water.
• DO NOT wear the watch when taking a hot shower or using a sauna. Exposure to hot water or steam can cause water mist to enter the watch, potentially damaging internal components.
• Avoid exposing the watch to strong impacts or extreme temperatures.

6.2 Cleaning

To maintain the appearance of your watch, wipe it regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For more stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive materials.

6.3 Battery Replacement

The watch uses 2 CR2 batteries. When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, it is likely time to replace the batteries. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

7. Troubleshooting

• Watch not displaying time/blank screen: Check if the battery needs replacement. Ensure no buttons are stuck.
• Buttons unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though this model does not have a specific lock function). Try pressing the MODE button to cycle through modes. If unresponsive, battery may be low.
• Water mist inside the watch: This indicates a breach in the water resistance, often due to exposure to hot water/steam or pressing buttons underwater. Immediately stop using the watch and seek professional repair to prevent further damage.
• Time is inaccurate: Ensure the time has been set correctly. If the issue persists, the battery may be low or the movement may require servicing.
