WATER RESISTANCE
This is a WATER RESISTANT watch. Do not operate the
push buttons below the surface of the water. Should water
or condensation appear in the watch, immediately have
the watch checked. Water can corrode electronic parts
inside the case.
CHANGING THE BATTERY
Change the battery when the watch becomes slow, the
readout darkens or does not appear, or the backlight
fails. Before removing the old battery, be sure to denote
its polarity so that the new battery is installed in exactly
the same way. Replace with one (1) CR1220 or equivalent
only. This watch contains precise electronic components
and should only be opened by a qualified watch
technician. However, it is not necessary to return your
watch to the manufacturer for battery replacement. It is
recommended that you bring your timepiece to a local
jeweler.
Dear Customer:
Help your watch/jewelry retailer protect our environment
by properly recycling the button cell battery in your watch.
Professional jewelers and watch retailers are best
equipped to replace the battery in your watch without
damage to the watch case and movement inside. They
have the specialized tools and experience to do the job
right. Inexperienced people can scar the case and damage
the water resistant seal – voiding your warranty.
  It is important to recycle your watch battery in an
environmentally safe way. Watch batteries contain very
small amounts of mercury, which is required to prevent
corrosion of the battery and damage to your watch. There
is no danger to you or your watch from the mercury
because it is in the sealed battery. But you need to recycle
your watch battery properly. Your professional watch/
jewelry retailer is the best person to do this for you. These
professionals collect used batteries and recycle them
through licensed waste management companies.
Do our environment and your watch a favor. Ask your
watch/jewelry professional to replace your battery when it
expires.
