Maintenance

Water Resistance:

Your watch is water resistant to 100 meters (WR 100M). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress. Avoid exposing the watch to hot water or steam, as this can compromise the seals.

Battery Life:

The Casio WS-1700H-5AVCF is powered by a CR2025 battery, providing approximately 10 years of operation. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. It is recommended to have battery replacement performed by an authorized Casio service center to ensure water resistance is maintained.

Cleaning:

Wipe the watch case and band with a soft, dry cloth. For resin bands, a mild soap solution and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the watch's finish.

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. Check for accidental button presses that might have altered settings.
• Tide/Moon data is inaccurate: Verify that the longitude and lunitidal interval settings are correct for your location. Ensure the watch is in the correct mode for displaying this information.
• Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not in a mode that locks button functions. If the watch is wet, dry it thoroughly before attempting to operate buttons.
• Water inside the watch: Immediately take the watch to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
