and can be worn while showering and light swimming. However, we recommend that
extensive use of the unit in the water be avoided whenever possible.

HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
Enduro watches have many unique features and functions. Be sure to read each section
carefully so that you will fully understand how the units and its features work.
The manual is divided into sections outlining each of the major functions of the watch.
A drawing of the watch screen that represents the starting point or other important
screen for each operational process is shown adjacent to the instructions for the
process; important keys are shown in color indicating PRESS & HOLD and PRESS.
The steps for the programming or operation are adjacent to the screen illustration. Key
points and important information are shown in highlighted blocks.
The watch itself is an important part of this manual as it prompts you through its
operation.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your Enduro watch should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended
exposure to direct sunlight. You should only perform service procedures related to the
changing of the battery as shown in this manual. NEVER attempt to disassemble. Store
your watch in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
Clean your watch using a moist cloth. Care should be taken when cleaning the lens not
to rub dirt into the surface as it can become scratched and hard to read.

REPLACING THE WATCH BATTERY
The Enduro watches use a common CR1632 3v Lithium battery. Normal battery life is
approximately 1yr.
NOTE: Heavy usage of the Backlight system may significantly reduce battery
life.
NOTE: A blank display or inaccurate readings are indications that the battery is
getting weak and should be replaced.
1. Remove battery door using a coin.
2. Carefully remove the old battery. Do not damage the O-ring
seal.
3. Place a fresh battery in the battery compartment with the
positive (+) side facing up.
4. Replace battery door using a coin.
5. If the O-ring has been damaged, replace it before reinstalling
the battery door. Most jewelers and watch shops should have
replacement O-ring seals.
NOTE: Extreme care should be taken when replacing the battery to ensure the
unit remains fully water resistant. Failure to properly replace the battery and
correctly seal the unit may cause the unit to become damaged and may void the
warranty
RESETTING THE WATCH
To reset the watch back to its default values PRESS the MODE,
SET/CLEAR, START/LAP and STOP/NEXT keys down at the
same time. The display will light up showing all segments
followed by a sequence of screens showing various numbers.
The watch will then automatically change to the time of day
screen at 12 o’clock on the first of January.
Resetting the watch will clear any information stored in the
watch. This should be done only as a last resort.

TROUBLE SHOOTING BASIC
Your Enduro watch is a very sensitive and sophisticated instrument. If properly cared for
it should last and remain accurate for many years. However, from time to time problems
may occur. It has been our experience that the majority of the problems seen by
consumers with products such as the Enduro are related to dead or dying batteries.
While the estimated life of a fresh battery in the unit is approximately 1 year, this
can be shortened considerably if the backlight feature of the unit is used extensively.
Whenever you are experiencing issues related to the function of the unit, it is
recommended that you install a fresh battery as a first course of action, especially if it
has been more than a half a year since the last time the battery was replaced.
BE AWARE: Lithium batteries of the type used in this watch are very susceptible to
improper storage. Many times, batteries purchased as new are dead or weak before
they are purchased. Do not assume that batteries in stores are good. If you try a new
battery and problems persist, please try a second battery from another source, just to
be certain.
If the battery on the watch unit is failing it may show itself in several ways. Indications
of a weak battery are:
A fading or blank display. Also if the display goes blank when the backlight is operated
and then comes back on when the backlight system turns off.
If the display goes blank when the EL system is operated and then comes back on when
the EL system turns off.
The display of your watch may “freeze” due to static electricity or battery replacement.
If this occurs, remove the battery and re-insert it. This will erase the data in the memory
and reset the watch to factory settings.
Enduro watches are equipped with a display which allow them to be used in a wide
variety of environments. However, if the unit is used in extreme cold (<32°F or 1°C) the
function of the display may be slower than normal. If exposed to extreme heat or cold,
the display may also darken. The display should return to normal once the temperature
returns to normal levels.
