CAUTION

Do not expose the old battery to
fire or recharge it. Keep it at a
place beyond the reach of chil­dren. If a child swallows it, consult
a doctor immediately.

* If your watch is 200 M/20 BAR, 100 M/10

BAR or 50 M/5 BAR water resistant, it is so

it in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly
dry.

Caution:

Leather straps are not water resistant except
so indicated, even if the watch head is water
resistant.

• ALLERGIC REACTION

Because the case and band touch the skin
directly, it is important to clean them regularly.
If not, shirt sleeves may be stained and
those with delicate skin may develop a
rash. Please wear the watch with some
play to avoid any possible allergic reaction.
If you develop a rash on your wrist, stop
wearing and consult a physician.

make the display bright and clear.

* Features vary in different models.

■ BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature lithium battery PANASONIC
CR2016,which powers your watch should last
approximately 3 years. However, because it
is inserted at the factory, the actual life of
the battery once in your possession may be
less than the specified period. Be sure to
replace the battery to prevent any possible
malfunction as soon as it runs down. To
replace the battery, we recommend taking
the watch to a local watch repair shop.

Note: If the alarm is used for more than 10

seconds a day and/or the alarm is tested
for more than 10 seconds a day, the
battery life may be less than the specified
period.
