after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial or caseback.

ENGLISH
1A 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.
2A 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.
3A 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.
4Keep 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.
6If 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
1Store the battery out of the reach of infants and other young children. Should
the battery be accidentally ingested, contact a doctor immediately.
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.
4A 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
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.
2Avoid 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 this product.
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 Products 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 products 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.

HOW TO SET THE TIME AND CALENDAR
[How to set the time and day of the week]
* Days of the week are not automatically adjusted. Adjust the day of the week
by turning the hour and minute hands before setting the time.
(1) Pull out the crown to the second click when the second
hand is at the 12 o’clock position. The second hand
stops on the spot.
(2) Turn the crown to set the day of the week.
• Turn the crown clockwise.
When the 12 o’clock position
is passed, the day of the
week hand begins to change.
• Advance the hour and minute
hands until the day of the
week hand indicates the next day.
• If further adjustment of the day of the week hand is required, turn the
crown counter-clockwise and go back 4 to 5 hours.
Turn the crown forward again to advance the day of the week hand
faster.
• Repeat this step and set the day of the week.
(3) After the day of the week is set, set the time.
*This watch features a calendar function.
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is set
correctly. The date changes at “0:00 AM”.
Check AM or PM with the 24-hour hand.
*When setting the time, first advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the
desired time, and then turn it back to the exact time.
(4) Push the crown back in to the normal position.
