Instruction manual

Precautionary items and usage limitations

• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to

strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the

watch from keeping time accurately.

Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic

necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors,

clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.

• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions

and/or performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.

• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note

the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.

<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>

• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including

gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.)

are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the

materials. Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used

in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.
