Maintenance
Water Resistance (5 ATM):
Your Calypso K5836 watch is water-resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use, splashes, rain, and short periods of recreational swimming. Do not press any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid exposure to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes, as this can compromise the water seals.
Battery Replacement:
When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. Battery replacement should be performed by a qualified watch technician to ensure the water resistance is maintained. Attempting to replace the battery yourself may void the warranty and damage the watch.
Cleaning:
To clean your watch, wipe it gently with a soft, damp cloth. For the rubber strap, mild soap and water can be used, then rinse thoroughly and dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the watch's finish or strap.
