When doing so, take care not to push the flap forcibly as more force is required to do so
than to lift up the flap.
3. Lightly pull the bracelet on the 6 o' clock side of the watch along the curved line of the
bracelet to pull out the slider. When doing so, take care not to pull the bracelet forcibly.

of the bezel will become difficult.
・Clean the soiled part of the metal band using a soft toothbrush dipped in soapy

water.
PLACES TO KEEP YOUR WATCH
・If the watch is left in a temperature below −10℃ or above +60℃ for a long
time it may function improperly or stop operating.
・Do not leave the watch in a place where it is subjected to strong magnetism or
static electricity.
・Do not leave the watch where there is strong vibration.
74
・Do not leave the watch in a dusty place.
・Do not expose the watch to gases or chemicals.
(Ex.: Organic solvents such as benzine and thinner, gasoline, nail polish,

insecticides inside.

Possible cause
The power supplied by the mainspring has been
consumed.
The watch is worn on your wrist only for a short period of
time, or the amount of arm movement is small.
The watch has been left or worn in extremely high or low
temperatures.
The watch is left close to an object with a strong magnetic
field.
You drop the watch, hit it against a hard surface, or wear it while
playing active sports. The watch is exposed to strong vibrations.
Moisture has entered the watch because the gasket has deteriorated.
The watch has been left under a temperature below 0℃.
When starting the watch, it takes a little time before the
adjustment function starts working (this is not a malfunction) .
AM/PM is not properly set.
■LUMIBRITE
(IF YOUR WATCH HAS LUMIBRITE)
LumiBrite is a luminous paint is completely harmless to that human beings and natural
environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substance.
LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of the
sunlight and lighting apparatus in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes,
LumiBrite can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.
Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of
the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ
slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is
exposed to light and the distance from the light source the watch.
When you make a dive in the dark water, LumiBrite may not emit light unless it absorbs
and stores light sufficiently.
Before diving , therefore, be sure to expose the watch to light under the condition
specified above so that it fully absorbs and stores light energy. Otherwise, use the watch
together with an underwater flashlight.

RASH AND ALLERGY
・Adjust the bracelet and band so that there will be a little clearance between the
bracelet or band and your wrist to avoid accumulation of perspiration.
