6. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
The watch battery should be replaced by a qualified
watchmaker. 1x SR920SW.
The battery which powers your watch should last
approximately 3 years. However, because the battery
is inserted at the factory to check the function and
performance of the watch, its remaining life once in your
possession may be less than the specified period. When
the battery expires, be sure to have it replaced as soon
as possible.
7. CARE & MAINTENANCE
Sailing and racing in a marine environment can be
tough on equipment, including watches. To ensure your
Analogue ClearStart™ performs as intended, the following
care and maintenance procedures should be followed;
• After use in salt water, rinse the watch with fresh water
to remove salt.
• Only use the watch to the recommended water
resistant depth.
• Do not operate buttons while the watch is submerged.
• Avoid contact with chemicals, sunscreens, lubricants,
solvents, paint etc.
• Treat the watch with care and avoid dropping it.
• Do not open the watch. Battery replacement should
only be carried out by a professional watch maker/
technician.
