the CHRONOGRAPH hands will continue to move. This is not a malfunction.
lWhen setting the minute hand, first advance it 4 to 5 minute ahead of the
desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute.

Years
lIf the chronograph is used for more than 60 minutes a day, the battery life may
be less than the specified period.
lAs 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.
lWhen the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent
any malfunction.
lWe recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery
replacement.
WARNING
lDo not remove the battery from the watch.
lIf it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of
children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.
lNever short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never
expose it to re. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch
re.
CAUTION
l The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this
may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.

agethemovement.Ifthewatchbecomes
wet, we suggest that you have it checked
by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or
SERVICE CENTER.
*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.
•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
50° C (122° F) may cause battery
Your watch works with
stable accuracy within a
temperature range of 5° C
and 35° C (41° F and 95°

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.
