Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
When Wearing Your Watch (continued)
• Do Not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin
to allow adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your
watch with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition,
the band may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it
has lost elasticity or become cracked.
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
• You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
• The pin of the band is protruding.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low
temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications on pages 72 and 73.

Precautionary items and usage limitations
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch
to strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent
the watch from keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity
to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets
used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone,
electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions
and/or performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note
the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including
gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.)
are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the
materials. Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used
in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.
