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.
¬Battery life indicator
When the battery voltage becomes low, the battery mark starts flashing on the dis-
