Water Resistance Guidelines

The watch is rated for 30 meters (3 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for daily use such as hand washing, face washing, and exposure to rain. It is not suitable for swimming, diving, or showering with hot water.

Important: Do not press any buttons while the watch is submerged in water, or when the watch is wet. Avoid using the watch in extreme cold or high temperatures, or under high pressure, as this can compromise the water resistance seal.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. For stubborn stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Battery Replacement

The watch uses a standard watch battery. When the display dims or functions become erratic, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and maintain water resistance.

Storage

Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use for extended periods.

Troubleshooting

• Hourly Chime Sounds Continuously: If the watch sounds an alarm every hour, the hourly chime function is active. To deactivate it, press the RESET and MODE buttons simultaneously from the normal time display. Repeat the action to reactivate.
• Display is Blank or Dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery as described in the Maintenance section.
• Buttons Not Responding: Ensure the watch is not wet. If the issue persists, try resetting the watch by removing and reinserting the battery (recommended to be done by a professional).
• Time is Inaccurate: Re-set the time following the "Setting Time and Date" instructions. If inaccuracy persists, the battery may be low or the watch may require servicing.
