CARE
Keep the watch dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the watch only in normal temperature environments. Handle the watch carefully; do not drop it. Keep the watch away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
Modifying or tampering with the watch’s internal components can cause a malfunction and invalidate its warranty. If your watch is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
Your watch comes with one CR2025 lithium battery installed for power. When the display dims or the watch stops operating properly, replace the battery.
Note: The screws are small and can be easily misplaced. Be sure you note where you place them. Also, the metal clip is difficult to remove and easy to bend when re-installing. If you are unsure whether you can do this, we recommend that you take the watch to your local RadioShack store to have the battery replaced.
