Electrophoretic Display (Epd) - Seiko C-16 Instructions Manual

1
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or
saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh
environment, which are usually required for watches designed
for scuba diving or saturation diving, have not been conducted
on this watch. For diving, use special watches for diving.
Do not pour running water directly from faucet onto
the watch.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high
enough to degrade the water resistant performance of a
water resistant watch for everyday life.

WARNING
CAUTION
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
※ I f the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water
droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant
performance of the watch is deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER .
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water
resistant performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on
the glass or gasket, or the development of rust on stainless steel.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate
the deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.
■ Response of the electrophoretic display
・ Switching speed of the Electrophoretic Display
・
T he switching speed of the Electrophoretic Display is slower compared to other types of displays such as LEDs.
Especially when the watch is used at a low temperature, the switching speed may become even slower.
・ W ait until the watch fi nishes switching its display before proceeding to the next operation.
・Reverse motion of the black and white particles
・
I n the time display, once every 1 minute and each time when the mode is switched, the black and white
particles are reversed. This is not a malfunction. (This is a programmed action to maintain the display quality.)
■ Display at a high temperature
When recharging the watch, do not place the watch in a place where it will be
subjected to high temperatures. When the watch temperature rises above
50 ℃ , the display will go blank. If this happens, press any button. You will
see the display shown at the right. In such a case, move the watch to a cool
place and wait for a while until the display returns to the normal time display.
■ Display at a low temperature
When the watch temperature drops below -5℃, you will see the display
shown at the right. In such a case, move the watch to a warm place
and wait for a while until the display returns to the normal time display.
