lThe LED (light emitting diode) panel loses its luminance as the battery voltage gets
lowered. Also, its luminance level decreases gradually with use.
lThe luminance level of LED may decrease if it is left in low temperature.

of its life, the LED illumination time may become shorter than normal. This shorter
LED illumination will allow the watch to maintain timekeeping functionality prior to

lThe battery life may be less than 2 years if the alarm is used more than once a day
and/or the illuminating light more than 3 times a day when eco mode is activated for
12 hours a day.
l
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.
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.
lBattery life indicator
When the battery voltage becomes low, the battery mark starts ashing on the dis-
play. In such a case, have the battery replaced with a new one as soon as possible.

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
