5. Maintenance
- Water Resistance: The watch is water-resistant up to 50 meters (5 ATM). This means it is suitable for handwashing, swimming, and exposure to rain. Do not press buttons underwater. Avoid hot water, saunas, or deep diving, as this can compromise the water seal.
- Cleaning: Clean the watch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Battery: The watch uses 1 C battery (included). Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified technician to ensure water resistance is maintained.
- Storage: Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

6. Troubleshooting
- Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Consider professional battery replacement.
- Time is incorrect: Re-set the time following the instructions in Section 3.1. Ensure the 12/24 hour format is correctly set.
- Buttons are unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not wet. If the issue persists, a soft reset (removing and reinserting the battery) by a professional might be necessary.
- Alarm does not sound: Verify that the alarm is set and activated (check for the alarm icon on the display). Ensure the volume is not muted if applicable (this model does not have volume control, but it's a general troubleshooting tip).
