● 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.

wet as water may damage the movement. If
the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you
have it checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR
DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.
If “WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR”
is inscribed on the case back, your
watch is designed and manu-
factured to withstand up to 5 bar
If “WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR”,
“WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR” or

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This
condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the
pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
TEMPERATURES
(122°F) may cause battery leakage or
shorten the battery life. Do not leave
your watch in very low temperatures
below –5°C (+23°F) for a long time
since the cold may cause a slight time
loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will be
corrected when the watch returns to
normal temperature.
Your watch works with stable
accuracy within a temperature
range of 5°C and 35°C
(41°F and 95°F).
Temperatures over 50°C
