Product Care Cautions, Notes and Warnings

CAUTION: Your in strument is desi gned to be water res istant to a static p ressure of 164 fee t /

50 meter s / 5 Atmospheres / 5 B ar. This uni t is suited for sur face swimming a nd clear-water shower ing or bathing. This unit should not be us ed for snorkelin g or scuba diving.

NOTE: Units of meters an d feet that indica te a pressure rati ng do NOT equal the rec ommended depth f or scuba diving.

NOTE: One atm osphere (ATM) or Bar of p ressure, is equi valent to the pres sure exerted on a stati c object lying in a depth of 10 metres (1 ATM or Bar equa ls 10 meters).

CAUTION: This press ure is increased with motion acco rdingly. Fast or rapi d movement under water will inc rease the press ure on the unit dram atically. If you dive i nto a pool to a depth of 2 .5 meters, the pres sure on the unit will not be 0.25 atmosp heres.

DO NOT wear the watch in a soapy dish water or bubble bath. The alkali contained in soaps can damage the rubber seals.

ENGLISH

DO NOT use the watch in a hot tub or extremely hot shower or bath.

High temperatures and steam can damage the rubber seals.

DO NOT expose the watch to sudden changes of temperature by going from a hot tub to cold water. This can make the rubber seals contract and allow water to penetrate.

Product Care Cautions, Notes and Warnings

ALWAYS rinse the watch with clear tap water after exposure to salt water.

Salt is highly corrosive and can damage both the rubber seals and the watch case.

LIGHT COLOR plastics will change color over time as a result of dirt and surface friction. You should clean light plastics with a damp cloth often to preserve the color as long as possible.

NEVER push the buttons underwater, when the watch is wet or when you are cleaning or rinsing the unit. You are actually pushing water inside the watch.

DO NOT use cleaning solvents to clean your watch. Solvents WILL damage the integrity of the plastic.

WARNING: This product is NOT designed to be used as a PRIMARY altitude instrument for flying,

skydiving, hang gliding or other sports where sudden major changes in altitude may occur or when there is a need for industrial precision.

BE SURE to calibrate your digital compass often - especially before hiking or orienteering adventures. Daily use around household appliances and magnetic fields WILL affect the compass. We do not want to lose you on the trail. When orienteering, always bring an analog compass to ensure multiple direction readings and accuracy.

CAUTION: Exposure to strong magnetic fields WILL cause the compass unit to malfunction and may even permanently damage the compass sensor. Keep the unit away from magnetic sources.

NEVER attempt to disassemble or service the unit. This will void any warranty. Detailed warranty information is available online at www.highgear.com or www.techtrail.com
