more than 24 times a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.
● As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of
the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified
period.
● When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
malfunction.
● We recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery
replacement.
