3.3 Backlight Function

3.4 Water Resistance (10 ATM)
This watch is water-resistant up to 10 ATM (100 meters). This means it is suitable for swimming, showering, and water sports. It is not suitable for scuba diving. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged to prevent water ingress.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Clean the watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the silicone strap, mild soap and water can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the watch or strap.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one LR44 battery. When the display becomes dim or stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and compromise water resistance.

4.3 Water Resistance Care
To maintain the watch's water resistance, ensure the crown (if present, though not applicable for this digital model) and buttons are not operated while the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect the seals.
