METAL BAND ADJUSTMENT
If your watch is equipped with a metal band, it may need adjusting to fit your wrist. If removal of links is necessary for proper adjustment, this should be done by a watch repair specialist or jeweler.
NYLON BAND CARE
All FreeStyle® nylon watch bands are made from the highest quality material. They are washable in warm water and a mild liquid soap. Since your watch is water resistant, it is not necessary to remove the band from the watch when washing it. For stubborn stains, scrub with a small brush (i.e. a toothbrush) and rinse thoroughly. If your nylon band has leather attached, apply a small amount of a good quality water and stain repellent leather care product to the leather portion before and after washing.
NIGHT VISION™ BACKLIGHTING
If your FreeStyle® watch is equipped with the Night Vision™ backlighting feature, you can activate the light by pressing the button located on either the two o’clock or three o’clock position above the crown. On some watches, pushing the crown activates the light. The light will remain activated for as long as you hold the button. Additionally, some models feature a delay that will keep the light active for a brief period after you release the button.
WARNING: Do not press the Night VIsion™ button while underwater. Although it is
Under normal circumstances, use of the Night Vision™ backlight will not affect battery life. However, repeated and frequent use of the backlight will reduce battery service life.
If your FreeStyle® watch is equipped with a rotating bezel, this bezel functions as a
the minute hand as shown in the illustration at left. DO NOT FORCE BEZEL IN OPPOSITE DIRECTION. As the minute hand moves, you will be able to track the elapsed time of your dive or other activity.
