Water Resistance (200 Meters)
The watch is rated for 200-meter water resistance, making it suitable for swimming, showering, and snorkeling. Do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water or wet, as this can compromise the water resistance seals. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, which can also affect the seals.
Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean your watch with a soft, dry cloth. For dirt or grime, use a soft brush and mild soap solution, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water and dry completely. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents, which can damage the watch's materials.
Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by an authorized Casio service center to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
Storage
When not in use for extended periods, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid placing it near strong magnetic fields.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
- Time is incorrect: Re-adjust the time and date settings as described in the 'Setup' section. Ensure the correct home city and DST settings are applied.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable) or that it is not wet. If the issue persists, a reset may be required (refer to the full module manual for specific reset procedures).
- Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open or dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage.
