CAUTION

IN HANDLING THE WATCH

(1) Water-resistance

Conditions of use Exposure to small amounts of water (facewashing, rain, etc.) Water sports (swimming, etc.), frequent contact with water (carwashing, etc.) Skin diving (air tanks are not used) Scuba diving (air tanks are used) Underwater operation of crown and operation of crown with drops of water on it

Type Non water resistant

Watch without WATER RESISTANT on back cover of watchcase. Water Watch with WATER resistant RESISTANT on for daily back cover of life watchcase. Reinforced Watch with 50M water (5BAR) on back resistance cover or dial face for daily along with WATER life I RESISTANT on back cover of watchcase. Reinforced Watch with 100M water (10BAR), 150M resistance (15BAR), 200M for daily (20BAR) on back life II cover or dial face along with WATER RESISTANT on back cover of watchcase. * It is recommended that you use the watch correctly following the above-mentioned scope of usage after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial face of the watch or on the back of the watchcase.
1 A watch with water resistance for daily life 30M (3 bar) can be used during face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which it will be submerged in water. 2 A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50M (5 bar) can be used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving including skin diving. 3 A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100M or 200M (10 or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.
4 Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely screwed down. 5 Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance. 6 If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth. 7 Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing strong jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit can apply, which may defeat the water resistance. 8 With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects. 9 The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler than the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary it causes no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters the watch, consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem untreated.

(2) Shock 1 Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not adversely influence the watch. 2 Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the floor. (3) Magnetism 1 If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in malfunction. Be careful. 2 The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In such a case, reset the time. (4) Vibration The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using jackhammers, chain saws, etc. (5) Temperature In environments below and above normal temperatures (5C-35C), the watch may malfunction and stop.
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The watch may heat and cause burns. (6) Chemicals, Gases, etc. Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases, mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.
(7) About accessory parts
Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of children. If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor. (8) Allergic reactions
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due to contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately and consult a doctor. (9) About luminous light This watch has luminous light on the hands and dial. The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level. Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may emit weak light or emit light for only a short time. (10) Water resistant watchband Some products employ leather and nylon bands on which a special treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied. Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALIBER NUMBER
Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or the case code on the watchs case back. 1. Searching by 10-digit model number Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch. You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch. Example: If the model number is CDB05001B0, the caliber number is DB. 2. Searching by the case code See the case code on the case back of your watch. A: If the case code is 6 digits, the first two digits indicate the caliber number. B: If the case code is 8 or 9 digits, the first three digits indicate the movement number. Search the caliber number corresponding to the movement number referring to the correspondence table. Example A Example B

Case code

Example A : When the case code is DB05-C0, the caliber number is DB. Example B : When the case code is 469396-81, the movement number is 469. The caliber number corresponding the number will be found EM on the table. * The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches. * The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual appearance of your watch but the function and operation procedures are the same.
