Seiko H601 Watch User Manual


 
If the watch is left in direct sunlight for a long time, the display may
become black, but this condition will be corrected when the watch
returns to normal temperature.
Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below –10°C
(+14°F) for a long time since the cold may cause:
a. a slight time loss or gain.
b. the change of digits to become slow.
c. the alarm sound to become faint.
d. the display light to dim.
However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch re-
turns to normal temperature.
STATIC ELECTRICITY
The IC (Integrated Circuit) used in your watch will be affected by static
electricity which may disturb the display. Keep your watch away from
close contact with object such as TV screens which emit strong static
electricity.
CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET
To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust,
moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.
PRECAUTION REGARDING CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM
If your watch has a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back,
be sure to peel them off before using your watch. Otherwise,
perspiration getting in under them may rust the case back.
PERIODIC CHECK
It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 to 3 years.
Have your watch checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SER-
VICE CENTER to ensure that the case, crown, buttons, gasket and
crystal seal remain intact.
LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL
The normal life expectancy for a liquid crystal panel is approximately 7
years. After that it may decrease in contrast, becoming difficult to read.
Please contact your AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER
if you wish to have a new panel fitted (guaranteed one year).

Light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop
your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage.
MAGNETISM
The analogue unit of your watch will be adversely affected by strong
magnetism, though the digital unit will not be affected. Keep your
watch away from close contact with magnetic objects.
CHEMICALS
Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents (e.g., alcohol and
gasoline), mercury (i.e., from a broken thermometer), cosmetic spray,
detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc.
may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.
