PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE WATCH FOR DIVING Before diving, make sure that the watch operates normally and be sure to observe the precautions described below. BEFORE DIVING l Do not use the watch for saturation diving using helium gas. l To measure the elasped time while you are underwater, always use the rotating bezel. l Check that; • the second hand is operating normally; • the crown is locked tightly in place; 4 • the buttons are locked tightly in place; • there are no visible cracks in the crystal or the watch band; • the strap or bracelet is securely fastened to the watch case; • the buckle keeps the strap or bracelet firmly secured to the wrist; • the rotating bezel turns counterclockwise smoothly (the rotation must not be too loose or too tight) and the mark aligns with the minute hand; • the time and calendar are appropriately set. If there are any malfunctions, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. WHILE DIVING l Do not operate the crown and the buttons when the watch is wet or in water. l Take care not to hit the watch against hard objects such as rocks. l Bezel rotation may become slightly stiffer underwater. This is not a malfunction. AFTER DIVING l Rinse the watch in fresh water after diving and wash out all seawater, soil, sand, etc. l Wipe the watch thoroughly dry to prevent possible rust on the case after cleaning the watch in fresh water. 5 English
