• Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
• When taking a shower with the water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
* Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet with soapy
water or shampoo.
* If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may
be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.
34
English
* Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
** We recommend that you wear a PULSAR Diver’s Watch for scuba diving.
Your watch works with stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5° C and 35° C (41° F and 95° F).
+50°C
-5°C
TEMPERATURES
Temperatures over 50° C (122° F) or below –5° C (+23° F) may cause a slight time loss or gain or battery leakage or shorten the battery life. However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

Your watch will not be affected by magnetism.
MAGNETISM
To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.
CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET
35
English
Light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage.
Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents, mercury, cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or
paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.
SHOCKS & VIBRATION
CHEMICALS
It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 to 3 years. Have your watch checked by an
AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or SERVICE CENTER to ensure that the case, buttons, gasket and crystal seal remain intact.
2 - 3
