NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH

TIME SETTING l When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minute ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute.

l If we set the time by turning the hands counterclockwise, date hand might be moved counterclockwise as well.

DATE SETTING l Do not set the date between 10:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the date and then reset the correct time.

l While setting the date hand, check that it moves properly in one-day increments.

l It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a 30-day month and February.

BATTERY CHANGE

Battery life : Approx. 3 years

Battery : SEIKO SR626SW l As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified period.

l When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction.

l We recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery replacement.

l

If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.

CAUTION

l The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

WATER RESISTANCE

l Non-water resistant

If “WATER RESISTANT” is not inscribed on the case back, your watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR

DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.

l

Water resistance (3 bar)

If “WATER RESISTANT” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for swimming or diving.

l Water resistance (5 bar)*

If “WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manu-factured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for swimming, yachting and taking a shower.

l Water resistance (10 bar/15bar

/20 bar)*

If “WATER RESISTANT 10

BAR”, “WATER RESISTANT 15

BAR” or “WATER RESISTANT

20 BAR” is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar/20 bar and is suitable for taking a bath, shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a

PULSAR Diver’s watch for scuba diving.

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the crown is pushed in completely.

Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.

* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:

• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.

• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

NOTE:

Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.

TEMPERATURES

Your watch works with stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5

° C and 35° C (41° F and

95° F).

Temperatures over 50° C (122° F) may cause battery leakage or shorten the battery life. Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below –5° C (+23° F) for a long time since the cold may cause a slight time loss or gain.

However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

MAGNETISM

Your watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism. Keep it away magnetic objects.
