I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Congratulations on having chosen a Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece. To ensure your timepiece operates perfectly, we recommend that you follow the advice given in these instructions.
Your timepiece is fitted with either a screw-down or a “pull-out” crown. In order to establish which, gently try to pull the crown out to position 2, if that works, your timepiece is fitted with a “pull-out” crown. If not, use your thumb and forefinger to apply mild pressure on the crown, while rotating towards you to release it. If it does so, you have a screw-down crown.
order to maintain the water resistance of your timepiece.
Quartz timepieces are battery-operated. When the battery is exhausted, we recom­mend that you have it replaced immediately at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center where the water resistance of your timepiece will also be checked. The battery is not covered by the warranty.

METER/BAR CORRELATION
Meter and bar measurements are different things: under water,the water pres-
sure is added to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar of water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore 2 bars in total.
II. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Pushers:
A Chronograph start/stop B Split timing, zero reset

WATER RESISTANCE
Please check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece case and read the following information carefully:
Water-resistant to 3 atm (100 feet/30 meters). Resistant to rain and splash­es and accidental immersion, but must not be worn in the shower or when
swimming.
Water-resistant to 5 atm (165 feet/50 meters). May be worn in the shower or when swimming in shallow water. Do not wear when diving.
Water-resistant to 10 atm (330 feet/100 meters). May be worn when swim­ming or snorkelling.
Water-resistant to 30 atm (990 feet/300 meters). May be worn when swim­ming or free diving and scuba diving.
Water-resistant to 50 atm (1650 feet/500 meters). May be worn when swim­ming or deep-sea diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, con­sidering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or temperature may vary.We therefore recommend that you have the water resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army Service Center every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.
Never operate the crown and/or pushers when the timepiece is under water and ensure that the crown and pushers are properly pushed back or screwed down after each use.
