3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Basic Time Display
The watch primarily displays time in a digital format. The default display shows hours, minutes, and seconds. Some models may also show the day of the week or date.
3.2 Mode Functions
Your watch may include various modes accessible via the 'MODE' button. These typically include:
- Stopwatch: For measuring elapsed time.
- Timer: For countdown functions.

Refer to the on-screen indicators or specific button labels for navigating and operating each mode.

3.4 Water Resistance
This watch is water resistant up to 30 meters (3 ATM). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes or brief immersion in water. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or diving. Avoid pressing buttons while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water ingress.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Clean your watch regularly with a soft, damp cloth. For the resin case and strap, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing with clean water and thorough drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Battery Replacement
The watch uses one lithium metal battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, it may be time for a battery replacement. Due to the specialized Y-shaped screws on the case back, it is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and prevent damage.

4.3 Water Resistance Seal
The water resistance of your watch is not a permanent condition and may eventually be affected by the aging of gaskets or accidental shocks to the crown or case. It is advisable to have the water resistance checked periodically, especially after battery replacement.
5. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Refer to Section 4.2 for battery replacement.
- Time is incorrect: The time may need to be reset. Refer to Section 2.2 for setting time and date.
- Light function is weak: This can be a sign of a low battery.
