CAUTION
!
1 Awatchwithwaterresistancefordailylife30m(3bar)canbeused
during face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which
it will be submerged in water.
2 AwatchwithreinforcedwaterresistancefordailylifeI50m(5bar)canbe
used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving
including skin diving.
3 AwatchwithreinforcedwaterresistancefordailylifeII100mor200m(10
or20bar)canbeusedwhileskindiving,butcannotbeusedwhilescuba
diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.
4 Keepthecrownpushedinatalltimes(inthenormalposition)whileusing
the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely
screwed down.
5Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water
may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance.
6 Ifyourwatchisnon-waterresistant,bewareofsplashesofwater(during
facewashing,rain,etc.)andsweat.Ifthewatchbecomeswetfromwater
or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth.
7Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing
strong jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit
can apply, which may defeat the water resistance.
8With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case
after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects.
9The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may
cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler
than the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary
it causes no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters
the watch, consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem
untreated.

(2) Handling the Battery
DANGER
!
1If a button battery or coin battery is ingested, it may cause chemical
burns or perforation of mucous membrane even in a short period of time,
and in the worst-case scenario, may result in death. Never leave button
batteries or coin batteries within the reach of infants or young children.
If a button battery or coin battery is ingested, or there is a possibility
that one was ingested, it must be removed at once. Please treat as an
emergency situation and contact a doctor immediately.
WARNING
!
2Do not remove the battery from the watch. Contact the place of purchase
of the watch or your nearest ORIENT authorized service center for
assistance when wanting to remove the battery.
3The battery used in this watch is not a rechargeable battery, so it cannot
be recharged and used again. Do not attempt to charge the battery as
doing so could cause it to overheat or explode.
4 Askinrashorothersymptommaydevelopifleakingbatteryfluidcomes
into contact with skin. Do not leave depleted batteries sitting around for
long periods of time.
(3) Replacing the Battery
CAUTION
!
1Depleted batteries that are left sitting in the watch for long periods of time
may begin to leak battery acid, which could lead to malfunction. Be sure
to replace depleted batteries as soon as possible.
2Replace the watch battery only with the specified battery type.
3Battery replacement requires special-purpose tools, techniques, etc.
Reversing the polarities when inserting the battery may cause the battery
to overheat or explode. Contact the place of purchase or your nearest
ORIENT authorized service center for assistance when wanting to
replace the battery.

ENGLISH
(4) Shock
1Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in
strenuous sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf,
etc., will not adversely influence the watch.
2 Avoidaviolentshocksuchasdroppingthewatchonthe
floor.
(5) Magnetism
1If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended
period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in
malfunction. Be careful.
2The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to
magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In
such a case, reset the time.
(6) Vibration
The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong
vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using
jackhammers, chain saws, etc.
(7) Temperature
 Inenvironmentsbelowandabovenormaltemperatures(5°C-35°C),the
watch may malfunction and stop.
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The
watch may heat and cause burns.
(8) Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,
mercury,chemicals(paintthinner,gasoline,varioussolvents,detergents
containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,
cosmetics,etc.),andsoforth.Suchmaycausediscolorationofthe
watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and
damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.
CAUTION

ENGLISH
(9) About accessory parts
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch.
 Storethebracelet/strappinandothersmallpartsoutofthereachof
children.
If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
(10)Allergic reactions
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due
to contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately
and consult a doctor.
(11) About “luminous light”
 Somemodelshaveluminouslightonthehandsanddial.
The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light
without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark
setting.Asthepaintdischargesthestoredlight,itwillbecomedimmer
over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted
depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape
of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the
distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.
Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may
emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.
(12)Water resistant watchband
 Somemodelsemployleatherandnylonbandsonwhichaspecial
treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.
Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can
be lost depending on the period and conditions of use.
