Watch Operation Guide 5672
Do not use your watch for scuba diving or
●
other types of diving that requires air tanks.
Watches that do not have WATER RESIST
●
or WATER RESISTANT marked on the
back cover are not protected against the
effects of sweat. Avoid using such a watch
under conditions where it will be exposed to
large amounts of sweat or moisture, or to
direct splashing with water.
Even if a watch is water resistant, note the
●
usage precautions described below. Such
types of use reduce water resistance
performance and can cause fogging of the

glass.

The inside surface of the watch glass may
●
fog when the watch is exposed to a sudden
drop in temperature. No problem is
indicated if the fogging clears up relatively
quickly. Sudden and extreme temperature
changes (such as coming into an air
conditioned room in the summer and
standing close to an air conditioner outlet,
or leaving a heated room in the winter and
allowing your watch to come into contact
with snow) can cause it to take longer for
glass fogging to clear up. If glass fogging
does not clear up or if you notice moisture
inside of the glass, immediately stop using
your watch and take it to your original
retailer or to an authorized CASIO service
center.
Your water-resistant watch has been tested
●
in accordance with International
Organization for Standardization
regulations.
Band
●
Tightening the band too tightly can cause
●
you to sweat and make it difficult for air to
pass under the band, which can lead to skin
irritation. Do not fasten the band too tightly.
There should be enough room between the
band and your wrist so you can insert your
finger.
Deterioration, rust, and other conditions can
●
cause the band to break or come off of your
watch, which in turn can cause band pins to
fly out of position or to fall out. This creates
the risk of your watch falling from your wrist
and becoming lost, and also creates the risk
of personal injury. Always take good care of
your band and keep it clean.
Immediately stop using a band if you even
●
notice any of the following: loss of band
flexibility, band cracks, band discoloration,
band looseness, band connecting pin flying
or falling out, or any other abnormality. Take
your watch to your original retailer or to a
CASIO service center for inspection and
repair (for which you will be charged) or to
have the band replaced (for which you will
be charged).
