BATTERY CHANGE

3

Years

Battery life : Approx. 3 years

Battery : SEIKO SR927W

● If the alarm is used more than once a day, the stopwatch more than once a day, and/ or the illuminating light for more than one second a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

●

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.

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

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

●

Necessary procedure after battery change

After the battery is replaced with a new one, or in case an abnormal display (broken digits, etc.) appears in the digital display, follow the procedure below to reset the IC.

Press buttons A, B and C at the same time. All the segments of the

13

14 digital display will light up, a beep will sound twice and then “January

1st, Sunday” will be displayed in the digital display.

* Before using the watch, set the time/calendar and alarm.

WARNING

● Do not remove the battery from the watch.

●

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.

● Never short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.

CAUTION

● 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

● 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.

● 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.

● Water resistance (5 bar)*

5 bar WR

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

● Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar/20 bar)*

If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR”,

10/15/20 bar WR

“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.

15

* 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.

16

TEMPERATURES

5

5

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) or below -5°

C (+23° F) may cause a slight time loss or gain or battery leakage or shorten the battery life.

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

MAGNETISM

N S

The analogue unit of your watch will be adversely a f f e c t e d b y s t r o n g magnetism, though the digital unit will not be affected. Keep the watch away from close contact with magnetic objects.

SHOCKS & VIBRATION

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.

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

T o p r e v e n t p o s s i b l e rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.

CHEMICALS

Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents, mercury, cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.

17

18

PERIODIC CHECK

It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 - 3

Years

2 to 3 years. Have your watch checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR

DEALER or SERVICE CENTER to ensure that the case, crown, buttons, gasket and crystal seal remain intact.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

The IC (Integrated

Circuit) used in your watch will be affected by static electricity which may disturb the display. Keep the watch away from close contact with objects such as TV screens which emit strong static electricity.

PRECAUTION REGARDING

CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM

I f y o u r w a t c h h a s a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back, be sure to peel them off before using your watch.
