WATER EXPOSuRE
Prior to exposing the timepiece to water, ensure both crowns are pushed fully down against the case then turn
them clockwise to tighten their water seal. Rated at 10-bar hydrophobic, the timepiece may be worn during bathing,
swimming and shallow diving. It is not designed for scuba or saturation diving. Do not pull out either crown or use the
buttons if the timepiece is wet. If used in seawater, rinse the timepiece with fresh water and dry completely.
TEMPERATuRE
For precision timekeeping, normal operating temperature is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F).
MAGNETISM
Strong magnetic fields can have an adverse effect on the timepiece. Keep it away from magnetic objects.
CHEMICALS
The timepiece may become discolored or damaged if exposed to cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives, solvents,
or paints.
SHOCK WAVE
Although the timepiece resists shock damage, impact against a hard surface may cause damage to the movement
or crystal.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
To ensure that the case, crowns, crystal seal, and gasket remain resistant to water exposure, it is recommended that
the timepiece be inspected once every 2 to 3 years by an Authorized Oakley Service Center.
