CAUTION
Matters that require attention to the watch before/during/after diving
<Before diving>
• Check to see if the watch is set to the time mode. (When the watch is set to
the chronograph mode, it will not shift to the diving mode.)
• Check the indication of the function hand (on the charging level index).
When the function hand points to
“
NG”, the watch will not shift to the diving
mode because of insufficient battery power. If the function hand points to
“
NG”, charge the battery sufficiently so that the hand indicates
“
LV.2” or
“
LV.1”.
• Check to see if the function hand (serving as the depth indicator) points to
“
0 m (0 ft)” position when the water sensor is activated and the watch enters
the diving mode.
• Check to see if the crown is completely pressed in and screwed down tightly.
• Check to see if the watchband and the watch are tightly fastened to each
other.
• Check to see that there are no cracked, damaged or broken parts on the
watchband and glass.
• Check to see if the rotating bezel rotates normally.
• Check to see if the time and date are set correctly.

PROHIBITION
Circumstances that prohibit use of this watch in diving
Don’t use this watch for diving under the following circumstances.
• When the function hand indicates
“
NG” on the charging level index.
… When the function hand indicates
“
NG” on the charging level, the watch will
not measure the depth. If the function hand points at
“
NG” on the charging
level during diving, immediately stop using the depth meter function of the
watch since the watch discontinues depth measurement in this condition.
• When the watch stops running or malfunctions. (Be careful not to knock the
watch against hard things such as diving apparatus, rocks, etc.)
• When the water temperature is out of the guaranteed range for measuring
depth.
… The accuracy of the depth meter function is guaranteed under the condition
that water temperature is between +10°C and +40°C (50°F and 104°F).
• For the purpose of knowing a risk of a behavior or situation.
… This watch is not designed to serve as a drowning prevention instrument or
an emergency instrument.
• In the environment filled with helium gas (saturated diving, etc.).
… Use of the watch in such conditions may cause failure or breakdown of the
watch.
