6. Maintenance

6.1 Water Resistance:

The Casio W220H is water resistant to 50 meters. This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water. However, it is not recommended for prolonged underwater use or high-pressure water activities like diving. Do not operate buttons while the watch is wet or submerged.

6.2 Cleaning:

To clean your watch, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a soft cloth dampened with water and a mild neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Avoid using volatile agents like thinner, benzine, or alcohol, as they may damage the resin components.

6.3 Battery Replacement:

The watch uses a CR1616 battery. When the display becomes dim or functions become erratic, it is time to replace the battery. Battery replacement should ideally be performed by a qualified technician to ensure proper sealing and water resistance.

7. Troubleshooting

• Display is blank or dim: The battery may be low or depleted. Replace the battery.
• Time is incorrect: Re-set the time and date as described in the "Setting the Time and Date" section. Ensure the correct AM/PM setting is selected.
• Alarm does not sound: Check if the alarm is enabled in Alarm Mode. Ensure the volume is not muted if applicable (this model does not have volume control, but general advice).
