(+14°F) for a long time since the cold may cause:

a.a slight time loss or gain.

b.the change of digits to become slow.

c.the alarm sound to become faint.

d.the display light to dim.

However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch re- turns to normal temperature.

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.

MAGNETISM

The analogue unit of your watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism, though the digital unit will not be affected. Keep your watch away from close contact with magnetic objects.

CHEMICALS

Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents (e.g., alcohol and gasoline), mercury (i.e., from a broken thermometer), cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

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

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.

PRECAUTION REGARDING CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM

If your watch has a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back, be sure to peel them off before using your watch. Otherwise, perspiration getting in under them may rust the case back.
