Notes on time setting:

1 When setting Minute hand of a quartz watch, advance it a few minutes ahead and

then turn it back to the exact time.

2 If your watch has three hands, pull out Crown all the way when Second hand points

at 12 o’clock. After adjusting the time, push Crown back in to normal position in
accordance with a time signal for “00” seconds.

Notes on calendar setting:

English

1 The date will change gradually between 9:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M. Therefore, do not

change the calendar during this time period. Otherwise, it may not change
properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change
the time to any time outside it, set the calendar and then reset the correct time.

2 If your watch has a bilingual day calendar, choose the desired language. When the

day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will appear temporarily.

3 When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so

designed that the calendar changes once in 24 hours.

Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the time is
set for the A.M. or P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for

4

the A.M. period. If it does not change, the time is set for the P.M. period.

● As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance

of the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the
specified period.

● When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent

any malfunction.

● We recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for

battery replacement.

WARNING

● Do not remove the battery from the watch.

● If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of

children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.

● Never short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never expose

it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.

CAUTION

● The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this

may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.

● Loss/gain (monthly rate) is less than 15 seconds (20 seconds for some

English

calibres) at normal temperature range (5°C ~ 35°C)(41°F ~ 95°F).

WATER RESISTANCE

● Water resistance (5 bar)*

● Non-water resistant

If “WATER RESISTANT” is not
inscribed on the case back, your
watch is not water resistant, and

wet as water may damage the movement. If
the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you
have it checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR

DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.

● Water resistance (3 bar)

If “WATER RESISTANT” is inscribed
on the case back, your watch is
designed and manufactured to

withstand up to 3 bar, such as acci­dental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is
not designed for swimming or diving.

10/15/20

bar WR

your watch is designed and manufactured to
withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar/20 bar and is
suitable for taking a bath, shallow diving, but not
for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a
PULSAR Diver’s watch for scuba diving.

If “WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR”
is inscribed on the case back, your
watch is designed and manu­factured to withstand up to 5 bar

If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR”,
“WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR”
or “WATER RESISTANT 20 BAR”
is inscribed on the case back,

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the

crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown 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 resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with

the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:

• Do not operate the crown 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.

NOTE:

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

English

pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.

TEMPERATURES

[for analogue quartz watch

+60°C

only]

Your watch works with

temperature range of 5° C

C or 122° F for some calibres) may cause
battery leakage or shorten the battery life.
Do not leave your watch in very low
temperatures below –10° C or +14° F (­5° C or +23° F for some calibres) for a
long time since the cold may cause a
slight time loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will be
corrected when the watch returns to
normal temperature.

To prevent possible rusting
of the case and bracelet
caused by dust, moisture and
perspiration, wipe them
