IFMCSOD

This watch is a diver's watch having a combination display (analog and digital) and equipped with an electronic depth meter.

When the watch senses water on its water sensor, the watch automatically enters the diving mode without any operation to change the mode and all diving functions become ready for use.

After a dive begins, diving time, present depth, maximum depth and water temperature are automatically measured and displayed.

The watch is provided with a log data memory function that can store the date for 4 dives. Moreover, different dive alarm functions are available. One alarm function alerts the diver of excess speed in ascending: if you ascend too rapidly during a dive, the alarm sounds.

IFMCSOO

DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

Diving can be a safe, enjoyable activity when diving rules are properly followed. It is always, however, accompanied by certain risks including diver's paralysis and unanticipated accidents. Before diving phase obtain proper diving instruction and be sure to conduct safety checks. Please use this watch only after you have read and fully understood the operating procedures and cautions in these instructions. Using this watch other than as indicated in these instructions may result in failure of the watch to function properly.

WARNING

[Safe diving]

1. Use this product only after having received proper instruction in safe diving procedures.

2. Always use the "buddy system". This watch is not a substitute for a diving partner.

IFMCS00

DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

1. This product is recommended for sports diving to depths of up to about 15-20 meters (50ft-60ft), although the depth indicator will measure depths up to 80 meters.
2. Early battery replacement is recommended. A new battery will last approximately 2 years. (However, this will vary greatly depending of the frequency of depth meter use. Replace the battery early). This should be conducted only at Festina Service Centers.
3. Be sure to rest sufficiently after diving, as specified by diving rules. Riding in an airplane or changing to a high altitude too soon after diving may cause decompression sickness.
4. Use the depth meter function of this watch only as an auxiliary or backup instrument.
5. Avoid rapid ascent when diving, as these adversely affect the human body, including causing diver's paralysis. Maintain a safe ascent speed while diving.

IFMCSOO

DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

An ascent of 9 meters (30 ft) or less per minute is recommended for sports diving to avoid various possible problems. (In conformity with the Diving Manual of the United States Navy, 1993).

[Do not use the depth meter when...]

1. In locations with altitudes exceeding 4.000 meters (13,124 ft). The watch will be unable to measure depth accurately.
2. In temperatures outside of the warranted temperature range. The warranted temperature range for the depth meter in this watch is from 10^ C to 40^ C / 50^ F to 104^ F.
3. In potentially dangerous activities or conditions. This watch is not designed for use in maritime emergencies or to prevent sea disasters and the like.
4. A substitute for a pressure gauge is needed.

IFMCSOO

DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

This watch is not designed to gauge pressures other than those associated with water depth.
5. Diving used a helium enriched environment.
This watch cannot be used in a helium enriched environment, as this may cause malfunction or breakage.

CAUTION

[Stop using this product while diving when...]

1. The low-battery warning indicator is activated.
   As the battery approaches the end if its life, the display switches automatically from depth meter display to the time display, and the second hand begins to move in 2 second increments.
2. The watch's depth readings differ greatly from those of the other depth measuring instruments.

IFMCSOO

DIVING WITH THIS WATCH

1. The watch stops or exhibits any abnormal functioning. (Avoid knocking the watch against diving equipment, rocks or other hand objetcs). Service for this watch should be conducted only by Festina Service Centers.

It stops when the depth becomes less than 1,0 m (4 ft) within 10 minutes after the end of the dive time, the dive time resumes at the time when the measurement is stopped and the accumulative time is recorded successively.

IFMCSOD

DIVING MODE

3. Water Temperature Measurement

Water temperature measurement starts 1 minute after a depth of 1,0 m (4 ft) is measured and displayed. Subsequently temperatures will be measured every minute.

Units of water temperature measurement: 0,1°C (1°F) Range of measurement: -5,0°C to +40°C (23°F - 104°F) Before temperature measurement and out of the measurement range: the display will be — ,°C (— °F).

*While button (A) stays depressed during the display of the diving time, the display shows water temperature readings, not the diving time.

IFMCS00

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING MODE USE

Making accurate depth readings

1. Switch the watch to the Diving Mode shortly before diving. In case the watch, though being used on land, is put in the diving mode because the water sensor senses moisture such as sweat, the watch can be released from the diving mode by wiping off the moisture, then being switched to the diving mode again.
2. Avoid too rapid decent and ascent when diving. In case the diver rapidly ascends at a rate of 1,5 meters (5 ft) or more per 10 seconds, the ascending speed alarm beeps for more than 10 seconds and the display of depth readings becomes flashing, not allowing proper measurement. When the diver rapidly descends or ascends at a rate of 4 metres (15 ft) or more per second, the display indicates ER (error).

IFMCSOD

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING MODE USE

[High altitude & Freshwater diving]

When the Diving Mode is activated, the depth is calibrated at 0 meter. However, an accurate measurement is not possible at altitudes over 4,000 meters (14,124 ft). Do not use this watch when diving in such places. Further, this watch displays changes in depth based on a standard of seawater (density 1,025).

Depth indicated in fresh water will actually be about 2,5% over indicated. Be sure to complete appropriate safety training before diving in fresh water or at high altitudes.

Example. 20 meters in fresh water (indicated depth) x 1,025 = 20,5 meters (actual depth).

IFMCS00

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING MODE USE

[Before diving]

1. Make sure that the crown is pushed all the way in and locked in place.
2. Make sure that there are no cracks or other damage to the watch band or the glass face.
3. Make sure that the band is firmly anchored to the watch body.
4. Make sure that the register ring rotates properly.
5. Make sure that the time and date are correctly set.
6. Make sure that the second hand is moving correctly.

*If the second hand is moving in 2-second increments, then the battery is low. In this case do not use for diving. Request battery replacement at the place of purchase or at your nearest Festina Service Center.

IFMCSOD

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING MODE USE

[During diving]

1. Never operate the buttons other than button (A) during dive. Doing so may cause fault such as poor water resistance.
2. The time alarm is set to OFF during a dive, so take care.
3. The dive alarm for ascending alarm may be hard to hear in water, depending on the surroundings (such as the sound of air bubbles) and the watch wearing conditions, so take care using the alarm.
4. Be careful not to hit the watch against solid matter such as equipment or rocks.

PRECAUTIONS FOR DIVING MODE USE

[After diving]

1. After making sure that the crown is locked in place, wash the watch free of seawater, mud and sand using fresh water. Wipe completely with a dry cloth.
2. Do not attempt to remove the sensor cover or remove any dirt or debris clogging the sensor partion of the watch, using a sharp instrument. Rather wash our such debris using fresh water. If this fails, please contact your next Festina Service Center.
3. For general repairs and maintenance please refer to "Care for long term use" on pages 140-146.

VARIOUS ALERT FUNCTIONS

This watch is provided with the following alert functions. These alerts are recommended to be used to increase the safety in diving.

0m 15.0m- 25.0m 25.6m 24.0m

1. Ascending Speed Warning

If the ascending speed exceeds 1,5 m (5 ft) in 10 seconds during the dive, the alarm will sound for more than 10-seconds as the ascending speed alert.

VARIOUS ALERT FUNCTIONS

IFMCSOO

2. Abnormal Depth Alert

In case of a rapid change in depth over 4 m (15 ft) for one second, the flashing ER (error) appears on the digital display (II).

If the sensor us faulty, ER (error) is shown even when the watch is used on land.

3. Water Sensor Check Alert

Although the water sensor is activated and the watch enters the diving mode with (Ready Indication), if one hour or longer is elapsed on the digital display (II) as the water sensor check alert.

In such a case, dirt or water might be on the water sensor. So wash the sensor free of adherents, wipe water of the surface and dry it sufficiently.

IFMCSOD

IN CASE OF THE FOLLOWING

[The second hand goes at 2-second intervals]

This action occurs when the battery rundown warning is activated, which warms the user that the battery will run down soon.

In this case, replace the battery in advance of its lifetime. (The watch keeps correct time during this occurrence). However, when this warning function is on, other functions are inhibited as follows:

1. All alarms do not sound.
2. Changeover to the diving mode (Ready display) is disabled.
3. When in the diving mode with (Ready display), changeover to (Depth Measurement Readings) is disabled.
4. With (Depth Measurement Readings) displayed on the watch, the dive alarm do not sound. Stop diving immediately.
5. With (Temperature Measurement Readings) active on the watch, the watch returns to the pre-sale.

IN CASE OF THE FOLLOWING

1. In case of the water sensor check alert display, the alert display is disabled.
2. Changeover cannot be performed from the diving mode (Ready display) or (0 m Reading after Depth Measurement) to the time/calendar mode.
3. In case the depth reading is one meter or more, though the watch is used on land. In this case, any reset should be performed by referring to page 134. If the watch display is changed to the pre-state of the diving mode (Ready display) or to the time/calendar mode when the crown is pulled out, there is no problem. If the mode change cannot be made, any reset should be performed (see page 134). (Note 1).

Use the register ring to measure elapsed time.

40 30 50 20 8 Q1

[Using the register ring]

Before diving, rotate the register ring to line up the ▽ mark with the minute hand. Elapsed time is then indicated by the position of the minute hand on the register ring.

Example. In the diagram at left the minute hand is 10 minutes past the ▼ mark, indicating that 10 minutes have elapsed.

NOTE. The register ring may only be turned counter clockwise (this helps prevent unwanted movement). Do not attempt to force it to turn clockwise.

IFMCSOO

OTHER FUNCTIONS

[No descompression limits]

The range of time when it is unnecessary to stop to decompress while surfacing from a dive is determined by the depth and time of the dive. These values are referred to as "No Descompression Limits". Use these as estimates when diving.

No decompression Limits, based on the American Navy Diving Manual (1983), are printed on the band of this watch. (Some models may not have this chart).

[Reading the shart]

Caution: The non decompression limit is different depending on body condition, or personal differences. Please use the non decompression limits on this watch as a guideline.

When a dive requires non decompression limits make sure you follow a specialised divers manual.
