Important:
Push the crown back in to its basic position (position 0) after every
manipulation. Doing this protects the watch against the penetration
of dirt and water.

Battery
The end of the battery’s life is indicated by the second hand making
4-second jumps. Your watch will continue to run for a few days
but you should have the battery changed as soon as possible by your
Rado retailer.
We recommend that you have the watch tested for water-
resistance at the same time.
Approximate battery life: 2 years.
