Introduction
This document provides essential information for the operation and care of Orient analog quartz watches. It guides users through safety precautions, understanding water resistance, technical specifications, and basic functions.
Safety Precautions
Users are advised to strictly follow the instructions to prevent damage to health, property, or the property of others. Key warnings include:
- Warning: Symbols indicate potential for fatal outcomes or serious injuries if the product is used improperly.
- Attention: Symbols indicate potential for serious injuries or material damage if the product is used improperly.
Specific precautions cover avoiding strong impacts, magnetic fields, excessive vibration, extreme temperatures, and contact with chemicals.
Water Resistance
The manual details various levels of water resistance for different watch models, from splash resistance for daily use (e.g., washing hands, rain) to suitability for swimming, diving, and even scuba diving with specific equipment. It clarifies which activities are permissible or prohibited for each water resistance rating (e.g., 30M, 50M, 100M, 200M).
Important notes include keeping the crown pushed in or screwed down, avoiding use of the crown underwater, and rinsing with fresh water after exposure to saltwater.
Care and Handling
Guidance is provided on protecting the watch from:
- Impacts: Avoid strong impacts like dropping the watch.
- Magnetic Fields: Prolonged exposure can affect accuracy.
- Vibration: Strong vibrations (e.g., from motorcycles) can impact precision.
- Temperature: Operate within the specified range (5°C – 35°C). Avoid extreme heat like saunas.
- Chemicals: Keep away from solvents, gasoline, perfumes, cosmetics, etc., as they can alter color or deform components.
- Allergic Reactions: Discontinue use and consult a doctor if skin irritation occurs.
The document also mentions luminescent coatings for visibility in darkness and special treatments for straps.
Identifying Your Watch Model
Instructions are provided on how to identify the watch's caliber or model number, either through the 10-digit model number on the warranty card or the case code on the watch's back cover.
Technical Specifications
A table outlines technical specifications for different watch models, including accuracy (drift per month), operating temperature range, battery type, and estimated battery life.
Basic Operations
The manual explains how to set the time by pulling out the crown and rotating it. It also describes the function of the rotating indicator ring (bezel) for measuring elapsed time or setting reminders.
