Casio BGA-132 Watch Module 5232 User Manual

General Precautions

Do not expose the watch to extreme temperatures. Avoid rough handling and dropping. Do not overtighten the band; there should be space between your wrist and the band. Clean the watch and band with a dry soft cloth, or a soft cloth dampened with a mild neutral detergent solution. Never use volatile solvents like gasoline, thinners, spray cleaners, etc. When not wearing your watch, store it in a dry place. Avoid contact with gasoline, cleaning solvents, aerosol sprays, adhesives, paint, etc. Chemical reactions with these materials can damage gaskets, case, and finish. Some models have silk-screened designs on their bands. Be careful when cleaning these bands to avoid damaging the designs.

Battery

The battery installed at the factory is discharged during shipping and storage. If you notice signs of insufficient power (dim display), contact an authorized CASIO service center or dealer for battery replacement.

Water Resistance

Watches are classified by water resistance rating (from I to V) according to their protection level. Use the table below to determine the correct usage for your watch.

Notes:

• Rating I: Not water resistant. Avoid all moisture.
• Rating II (WATER RESISTANT) means the model is water resistant according to ISO 2281. Brief contact with water will not cause problems.
• Rating III (5 Bar / 50 meters) means the watch can withstand water pressure of the indicated value and can be used while showering and for brief swimming.
• Rating IV (10 Bar / 100 meters) means the watch can be used for regular swimming and snorkeling.
• Rating V (20 Bar / 200 meters) means the watch can be used for scuba diving (excluding depths requiring a helium-helium mixture).

Care and Maintenance

Never attempt to open the case or remove the back cover. The gasket protecting against water and dust should be replaced every 2-3 years. If moisture enters the watch, have it checked immediately by your dealer or a CASIO distributor.

Plastic Bands

A white powdery substance may appear on plastic bands. This substance is harmless and can be easily removed by wiping with a cloth. Sweat or moisture, or storage in high humidity conditions, can damage, crack, or break plastic bands. Wipe them clean with a soft cloth whenever possible.

Fluorescent Cases and Bands

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can cause fluorescent colors to fade. Prolonged contact with moisture can also cause fluorescent colors to fade. Wipe off any moisture as soon as possible. Contact with other wet surfaces may cause discoloration. Ensure fluorescent surfaces are dry and avoid contact with other surfaces.
