●
Temperature
●
Never leave your watch on the dashboard
of a car, near a heater, or in any other
location that is subject to very high
temperatures. Do not leave your watch
where it will be exposed to very low
temperatures. Temperature extremes can
cause your watch to lose or gain time, to
stop, or otherwise malfunction.
●
Impact
●
Your watch is designed to withstand impact
incurred during normal daily use and during
light activity such as playing catch, tennis,
etc. Dropping your watch or otherwise
subjecting it to strong impact, however, can
lead to malfunction. Note that watches with
shock-resistant designs (G-SHOCK,
BABY-G, G-MS) can be worn while
operating a chain saw or engaging in other
activities that generate strong vibration, or
while engaging in strenuous sports
activities (motocross, etc.)
●
Magnetism
●
The hands of analog and combination
(analog-digital) watches are moved by a
motor that uses magnetic force. When such
a watch is close to a device (audio
speakers, magnetic necklace, cell phone,
etc.) that emits strong magnetism, the
magnetism can cause timekeeping to slow
down, speed up, or stop, resulting in the
incorrect time being displayed.
●
Very strong magnetism (from medical
equipment, etc.) should be avoided
because it can cause malfunction of your
watch and damage to electronic
components.
●
Electrostatic Charge
●
Exposure to very strong electrostatic
charge can cause your watch to display the
wrong time. Very strong electrostatic
charge even can damage electronic
components.
●
Chemicals
●
Do not allow your watch to come into
contact with thinner, gasoline, solvents,
oils, or fats, or with any cleaners, adhesives,
paints, medicines, or cosmetics that contain
such ingredients. Doing so can cause
discoloration of or damage to the resin
case, resin band, leather, and other parts.
●
Storage
●
If you do not plan to use your watch for a
long time, thoroughly wipe it free of all dirt,
sweat, and moisture, and store it in a cool,
dry place.
●
Resin Components
●
Allowing your watch to remain in contact
with other items or storing it together with
other items for long periods while it is wet
can cause color on resin components to
transfer to the other items, or the color of the
other items to transfer to the resin
components of your watch. Be sure to dry
off your watch thoroughly before storing it
and make sure it is not in contact with other
items.
●
Leaving your watch where it is exposed to
direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long
periods or failure to clean dirt from your
watch for long periods can cause it to
become discolored.
●
Friction caused by certain conditions
(strong external force, sustained rubbing,
impact, etc.) can cause discoloration of
painted components.
●
If there are printed figures on the band,
strong rubbing of the printed area can cause
discoloration.
●
Leaving your watch wet for long periods can
cause fluorescent color to fade. Wipe the
watch dry as soon as possible after it
becomes wet.
●
Semi-transparent resin parts can become
discolored due to sweat and dirt, and if
exposed to high temperatures and humidity
for long periods.
●
Daily use and long-term storage of your
watch can lead to deterioration, breaking, or
bending of resin components. The extent of
such damage depends on usage conditions
and storage conditions.
●
Leather Band
●
Allowing your watch to remain in contact
with other items or storing it together with
other items for long periods while it is wet
can cause the color of the leather band to
transfer to the other items or the color of the
other items to transfer to the leather band.
Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly with
a soft cloth before storing it and make sure
it is not in contact with other items.
●
Leaving a leather band where it is exposed
to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long
periods or failure to clean dirt from a leather
band for long periods can cause it to
become discolored.
CAUTION:
Exposing a leather band to rubbing or dirt
can cause color transfer and discoloration.
●
Metal Components
●
Failure to clean dirt from metal components
can lead to formation of rust, even if
components are stainless steel or plated. If
metal components exposed to sweat or
water, wipe thoroughly with a soft,
absorbent cloth and then place the watch in
a well-ventilated location to dry.
●
Use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to scrub
the metal 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 metal
components, wrap the watch case with
kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into
contact with the detergent or soap.
●
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.
Note that CASIO Computer Co., Ltd.
assumes no responsibility for any
damage or loss suffered by you or any
third party arising through the use of your
watch or its malfunction.
