<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions
and/or performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please
note the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals or corrosive
gases. If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents
(including gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water
repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or
crack the materials. Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as
that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.
<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp,
etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers
and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
