■TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

PERIODIC CHECK
It is recommended that it be checked at time of battery replacement or once every 2 to 3
years for oil condition, battery electrolyte leakage, entrance of moisture or perspiration, etc.
by the retailer from whom your timekeeper was purchased.
An adjustment or repair may be required, depending on the result of the check.
Take this opportunity to have the gasket replaced.

• Extremely high temperatures
Keep the timekeeper away from direct sunligft or hot places.
If it is used or left in such environment, the digital display may become black. But this condition
*
will disappear without any aftereffect when the temperature returns to normal.
• Extremely low temperatures
Do not use or leave this timekeeper in a cold place. If it is used or left in such a place for a long time :
1) A small amount of time loss/gain may occur.
2) The change of the digits may become slow. (The time keeper remains accurate.)
The normal performance of the timekeeper, however, will return when the temperature
returns to normal.
If it is exposed to a temperature below -10˚C or over + 60˚C for long time, this may cause the

timekeeper to stop, the battery electrolyte to leak, or the battery life to shorten.
