• Your watch enjoys regular exposure to light. Wearing in situations that prevent light exposure such as long shirt or coat sleeves will prevent your watch from receiving light sufficient for charging. In these instances, supplemental charging may be needed. • When you take your watch off, try and place it in a bright location. This will ensure your watch receives light for charging and will continue to operate properly.
PAGE 12
• Your watch features a cell that does not need regular replacement. However, after an extended period of time, power consumption may increase due to deterioration of lubrication in the movement. This may result in shorter than expected run time. Be sure to have your watch regularly inspected by an Authorized Service Center. Note: Regular maintenance is not covered under the terms of the warranty.

WARNING Water resistance Water Resistance • Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly. (The unit “1bar” is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.) • WATER RESIST(ANT) ××bar may also be indicated as W.R.××bar.
PAGE 14
• Non-water resistant watches cannot be used underwater or in environments in contact with water. • Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while washing your face or in the rain, but is not to be immersed in water. • Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while swimming, but is not to worn while skin diving.
PAGE 15
CAUTION Precautions • Always wear your watch with the crown pushed in to the normal position. If your crown is a screw down type, be sure it is properly screwed down (locked) to the case. • Do not operate the crown or any buttons when the watch is wet. This may allow the entrance of moisture and cause damage to sensitive components. • If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time, consult Authorized Service Center for inspection and/or repair.
PAGE 16
Precautions and usage limitations • Please ask immediately for the band adjustment and repair in the following cases. The band is found to be abnormal due to corrosion of metal, etc. The pin comes out of the band. • The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low temperature.
PAGE 17
• The case and band of the watch come in to direct contact with the skin. This may result in unnoticed accumulations of dirt and foreign matter caused by normal wear. Accumulated matter may cause rust, discoloration, and premature wear. Be sure to regularly clean your watch with a soft cloth. If severe accumulations occur, you may need to have your case and/or bracelet professionally cleaned. • In some instances, accumulations of dirt and foreign matter may cause skin reactions.

This luminous treatment stores light from both natural and artificial sources. It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material that may be harmful to the environment or human body. • The light emission of the luminous material gradually decreases as time passes.
