• After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch thoroughly with fresh water and dry it completely.

5.2 Water Resistance

Your Casio G-Shock GM-S2100BR-5ADR is water-resistant to 200 meters (20 BAR). This means it is suitable for showering, swimming, and diving (excluding saturation diving). To maintain water resistance:

• Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers followed by cold water).
• Have the gaskets checked periodically (every 2-3 years) by an authorized service center.

5.3 Battery Replacement

The watch is powered by a battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it indicates a low battery. Battery replacement should be performed by an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

6. Troubleshooting

• Digital Display is Blank: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery at an authorized service center.
• Analog Hands Do Not Match Digital Time: Perform the hand alignment procedure described in Section 3.3.
• Buttons Are Unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a mode that locks buttons (e.g., some models have a button lock feature). If the issue persists, a reset may be required (consult a service center).
