4. Setup
4.1 Setting the Time

- Set the time: Rotate the crown in either direction to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time.

5. Operating
5.1 Water Resistance
Your Lorus RU411AX9 watch is water resistant up to 100 meters (10 ATM). This means it is suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and showering. However, it is not suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports.
- Important: Do not operate the crown or push buttons (if any) while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
- After exposure to saltwater, rinse the watch with fresh water and dry it thoroughly with a soft cloth.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning
To maintain the appearance of your watch:
- Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, dry cloth.
- For stubborn dirt, use a slightly damp cloth and then dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh chemicals.
6.2 Battery Replacement
The watch is powered by a quartz movement, which requires a battery. The typical battery life is approximately 2-3 years. When the battery runs low, the second hand may start to move in two-second intervals (End-of-Life indicator). It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.
6.3 Storage
When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields.
