Precautionary items and usage limitations
<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>
• Do not use the watch in environment with chemicals or corrosive gasses. 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.
