• Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as the
glove compartment or dash-board of a car.
Doing so may result in deterioration of the watch, such as deformation of plastic parts.
• Do NOT place the watch close to a magnet.
Timekeeping will become inaccurate if you place the watch close to magnetic health
equipment such as a magnetic necklace or a magnetic latch of a refrigerator door or
handbag clasp or the earphone of a mobile phone. If this has occurred, move the watch
away from the magnet and reset the time.
• Do NOT place the watch close to household appliances that generate static electricity.
Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static electricity,
such as is emitted from a TV screen.
• Do NOT subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard floor.
• Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals or
corrosive gases.
If solvents, such as thinner and benzine, or substances containing such solvents come
in contact with the watch, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. may result. If the watch
comes in contact with mercury used in thermometers, the case, band or other parts may
become discolored.

manual.
Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range, may result in
deterioration of functions or even stoppage of the watch.
