Water Resistance Guidelines

Your PINDOWS PDS-G603 watch is rated for 50 meters (5 ATM) water resistance. This means it is suitable for:

• Daily use and hand washing.
• Showering (cold water).
• Swimming in shallow water.
• Exposure to rain.

Important Precautions:

• Do NOT operate any buttons while the watch is wet or submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to hot water, steam, or extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot showers, saunas, hot tubs) as this can compromise the water seals.
• Do not use chemical cleaners or soaps on the watch, as they can damage the seals and materials.

Maintenance

Cleaning:

Wipe the watch regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt and moisture. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.

Battery Replacement:

When the display becomes dim or the watch stops functioning, the battery may need replacement. It is recommended to have the battery replaced by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance are maintained.

Storage:

Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields when not in use. This helps preserve the battery life and integrity of the watch components.

Troubleshooting

• Watch not displaying time or functions: Check if the battery needs replacement. If recently replaced, ensure it was installed correctly.
• Incorrect time or date: Follow the "Setting Digital Time and Date" and "Setting Analog Time" instructions in the Setup section to re-adjust.
• Buttons unresponsive: Ensure the watch is not wet. If the issue persists, a soft reset (removing and reinserting the battery) might be necessary, but this should be done by a professional.
• Fog or moisture inside the watch: This indicates a compromised water seal. Stop using the watch immediately and contact customer support for assistance. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
