Maintenance
Cleaning
To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals, solvents, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish or internal components.
Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant to 165 feet (50 meters). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. It is not suitable for diving, snorkeling, or high-impact water sports. Do not operate any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.
Battery Replacement
The watch uses one product-specific battery, which is included. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance seal is maintained.
Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Consider professional battery replacement.
- Time is incorrect: Re-set the time and date following the instructions in the "Setting Time and Date" section. Ensure the correct 12/24-hour format is selected if applicable.
- Alarm not sounding: Verify that the alarm is activated in the alarm setting mode. An alarm icon should be visible on the display when active.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a locked mode (if applicable, though not a common feature for this model). If the issue persists, a battery check or professional inspection may be required.
