Important Information
Battery
The battery installed at the factory is discharged during shipping and storage. When the first signs of insufficient power (dim display) appear, the battery must be replaced by a CASIO authorized service center or a CASIO distributor.
Water Resistance
For all categories of watches, it is prohibited to: press buttons underwater; adjust hands underwater; unscrew the crown underwater. If the watch has been exposed to salt water, rinse it thoroughly and wipe it dry. Do not wear a watch with a leather strap while swimming. Avoid prolonged contact of a leather strap with water.
For watches with plastic straps: You may find a white powdery substance on the strap. This substance is harmless to your skin or clothing and can be easily removed by simply wiping with a cloth. Sweat or moisture coming into contact with a plastic strap, or storage in humid conditions, can damage, tear, or crack the strap. To ensure a long service life for the plastic strap, wipe it clean of dirt and water with a soft cloth whenever possible.
For watches with fluorescent cases and straps: Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause the fluorescent coloring to gradually fade. Prolonged contact with moisture can cause the fluorescent coloring to gradually disappear. If any moisture gets on the watch surface, wipe it off as soon as possible. Prolonged contact with any other wet surface can cause the fluorescent coloring to fade. Check that moisture is removed from the fluorescent surface and avoid contact with other surfaces. Strong friction of a surface with applied fluorescent paint against another surface may cause the fluorescent paint to transfer to that surface.
CASIO Computer Co., LTD. is not responsible for any damage that may occur during the use of this watch and does not accept any claims from third parties.

Notes:
- Watches are not water-resistant. Avoid any moisture.
- WR (Water Resistant) means the model is waterproof according to ISO 2281. Brief contact with water will not cause problems.
- With 5 BAR (50 meters) water resistance, the watch can withstand water pressure at the indicated depth and can be used during showering and brief swimming.
- Water resistance of 10 BAR (100 meters) means the watch can be used during normal swimming and snorkeling.
- Water resistance of 20 BAR (200 meters) means the watch can be used for scuba diving (except for depths requiring a helium-oxygen mixture).
Caring for Your Watch
Never attempt to open the case or remove the back cover. The rubber gasket that protects the watch from water and dust should be replaced every 2-3 years. If moisture enters the watch, have it checked immediately by your nearest dealer or CASIO distributor.
