Bacteria and Odor Resistant Band
●
The bacteria and odor resistant band
protects against odor generated by the
formation of bacteria from sweat, which
ensures comfort and hygiene. In order to
ensure maximum bacteria and odor
resistance, keep the band clean. Use an
absorbent soft cloth to thoroughly wipe the
band clean of dirt, sweat, and moisture. A
bacteria and odor resistant band
suppresses the formation of organisms and
bacteria. It does not protect against rash
due to allergic reaction, etc.

Caring for Your Watch
Remember that you wear your watch next to
your skin, just like a piece of clothing. To
ensure your watch performs at the level for
which it is designed, keep it clean by
frequently wiping with a soft cloth to keep your
watch and band free of dirt, sweat, water and
other foreign matter.
●
Whenever your watch is exposed to sea
water or mud, rinse it off with clean fresh
water.
●
For a metal band or a resin band with metal
parts, use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to
scrub the band with a weak solution of water
and a mild neutral detergent, or with soapy
water. Next, rinse with water to remove all
remaining detergent and then wipe dry with
a soft absorbent cloth. When washing the
band, wrap the watch case with kitchen
plastic wrap so it does not come into contact
with the detergent or soap.
●
For a resin band, wash with water and then
wipe dry with a soft cloth. Note that
sometimes a smudge like pattern may
appear on the surface of a resin band. This
will not have any effect on your skin or
clothing. Wipe with a cloth to remove the
smudge pattern.
●
Clean water and sweat from a leather band
by wiping with a soft cloth.
●
Not operating a watch crown, buttons, or
rotary bezel could lead to later problems
with their operation. Periodically rotate the
crown and rotary bezel, and press buttons
to maintain proper operation.
●
Dangers of Poor Watch Care
Rust
●
Though the metal steel used for your watch
is highly rust-resistant, rust can form if your
watch is not cleaned after it becomes dirty.
ー
Dirt on your watch can make it impossible
for oxygen to come into contact with the
metal, which can lead to breakdown of
the oxidization layer on the metal surface
and the formation of rust.
●
Rust can cause sharp areas on metal
components and can cause band pins to fly
out of position or to fall out. If you ever notice
any abnormality immediately stop using
your watch and take it to your original
retailer or to an authorized CASIO service
center.
●
Even if the surface of the metal appears
clean, sweat and rust in crevasses can soil
the sleeves of clothing, cause skin irritation,
and even interfere with watch performance.
Premature Wear
●
Leaving sweat or water on a resin band or
bezel, or storing your watch an area subject
to high moisture can lead to premature
wear, cuts, and breaks.
Skin Irritation
●
Individuals with sensitive skin or in poor
physical condition may experience skin
irritation when wearing a watch. Such
individuals should keep their leather band
or resin band particularly clean. Should you
ever experience a rash or other skin
irritation, immediately remove your watch
and contact a skin care professional.
Battery
●
The special rechargeable battery used by
your watch is not intended to be removed or
replaced by you. Use of a rechargeable
battery other than the special one specified
for your watch can damage your watch.
●
The rechargeable (secondary) battery is
charged when the solar panel is exposed to
light, so it does not require regular
replacement as the primary battery
requires. Note, however, that long use or
operating conditions can cause the
capacity or charging efficiency of the
rechargeable battery to deteriorate. If you
feel that the amount of operation provided
by charging is too short, contact your
original retailer or CASIO service center.
