• When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction.
• We recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery replacement.

WARNING

• Do not remove the battery from the watch.
• If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.
• Never short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.

CAUTION

- The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

WATER RESISTANCE

• Non-water resistant

- If the watch becomes wet, have it checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or SERVICE CENTER.

• Water resistant 5/10/15/20 bar

- Do not operate the buttons 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 resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with the water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:

* Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.

* If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

* Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
** We recommend that you wear a PULSAR Diver's Watch for scuba diving.

TEMPERATURES

Your watch works with stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).

Temperatures over 50° C ( 122° F) or below -5° C ( +23° F) may cause a slight time loss or gain or battery leakage or shorten the battery life.

However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

MAGNETISM

Your watch will not be affected by magnetism.

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.

SHOCKS & VIBRATION

Light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage.

CHEMICALS

Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents, mercury, cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.

PERIODIC CHECK

It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 to 3 years. Have your watch checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or SERVICE CENTER to ensure that the case, buttons, gasket and crystal seal remain intact.

PRECAUTION REGARDING CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM

If your watch has a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back, be sure to peel them off before using your watch.

STATIC ELECTRICITY

The IC (Integrated Circuit) used in your watch will be affected by static electricity which may disturb the display. Keep the watch away from close contact with objects such as TV screens which emit strong static electricity.

LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL

The normal life expectancy for the liquid crystal panel of the watch is approximately 5 years. After that it may decrease in contrast, becoming difficult to read. Please contact your AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or SERVICE CENTER if you wish to have a new panel fitted (guaranteed one year).
