The generated power charges a buit-in rechargeabe battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to ight. harging Guide Whenever you are not wearing the watch, eave it in a ocation where it is exposed to ight. Best charging performance is achieved by exposing the watch to the strongest ight avaiabe. When wearing the watch, make sure that its face is not bocked from ight by the seeve of your cothing. The watch may enter a seep state (page E-16) if its face is bocked by your seeve even ony partiay. E-8 E-9
Warning! Leaving the watch in bright ight for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handing the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particuary hot when exposed to the conditions beow for ong periods. On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunight Too cose to an incandescent amp Under direct sunight Important! Aowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digita dispay to back out. The appearance of the LD shoud become norma again when the watch returns to a ower temperature. Enabe the watch s Power Saving function (page E-16) and keep it in an area normay exposed to bright ight when storing it for ong periods. This heps to ensure that power does not run down. Storing the watch for ong periods in an area where there is no ight or wearing it in such a way that it is bocked from exposure to ight can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright ight whenever possibe. Power Leves In the Timekeeping Mode, press to dispay the battery power indicator.

Marking On watch front or on back cover Water Resistance Under Daiy Use No BAR mark Enhanced Water Resistance Under Daiy Use 5 Atmospheres 10 Atmospheres 20 Atmospheres 5BAR 10BAR 20BAR Hand washing, rain Yes Yes Yes Yes Exampe of Water-reated work, swimming No Yes Yes Yes Daiy Use Windsurfing No No Yes Yes Skin diving No No Yes Yes Do not use your watch for scuba diving or other types of diving that requires air tanks. OPUM-E E-55 Watches that do not have WATER RESIST or WATER RESISTANT marked on the back cover are not protected against the effects of sweat. Avoid using such a watch under conditions where it wi be exposed to arge amounts of sweat or moisture, or to direct spashing with water. Even if a watch is water resistant, note the usage precautions described beow. Such types of use reduce water resistance performance and can cause fogging of the gass. Do not operate the crown or buttons whie your watch is submersed in water or wet. Avoid wearing your watch whie in the bath. Do not wear your watch whie in a heated swimming poo, sauna, or any other high temperature/high humidity environment. Do not wear your watch whie washing your hands or face, whie doing housework, or whie performing any other task that invoves soaps or detergents. After submersion in seawater, use pain water to rinse a sat and dirt from your watch. To maintain water resistance, have the gaskets of your watch repaced periodicay (about once every two or three years). E-56 A trained technician wi inspect your watch for proper water resistance whenever you have its battery repaced. Battery repacement requires the use of specia toos. Aways request battery repacement from your origina retaier or from an authorized ASIO service center. Some water-resistant watches come with fashionabe eather bands. Avoid swimming, washing, or any other activity that causes direct exposure of a eather band to water. The inside surface of the watch gass may fog when the watch is exposed to a sudden drop in temperature. No probem is indicated if the fogging cears up reativey quicky. Sudden and extreme temperature changes (such as coming into an air conditioned room in the summer and standing cose to an air conditioner outet, or eaving a heated room in the winter and aowing your watch to come into contact with snow) can cause it to take onger for gass fogging to cear up. If gass fogging does not cear up or if you notice moisture inside of the gass, immediatey stop using your watch and take it to your origina retaier or to an authorized ASIO service center. Your water-resistant watch has been tested in accordance with Internationa Organization for Standardization reguations. E-57 Band Tightening the band too tighty can cause you to sweat and make it difficut for air to pass under the band, which can ead to skin irritation. Do not fasten the band too tighty. There shoud be enough room between the band and your wrist so you can insert your finger. Deterioration, rust, and other conditions can cause the band to break or come off of your watch, which in turn can cause band pins to fy out of position or to fa out. This creates the risk of your watch faing from your wrist and becoming ost, and aso creates the risk of persona injury. Aways take good care of your band and keep it cean. Immediatey stop using a band if you even notice any of the foowing: oss of band fexibiity, band cracks, band discooration, band ooseness, band connecting pin fying or faing out, or any other abnormaity. Take your watch to your origina retaier or to a ASIO service center for inspection and repair (for which you wi be charged) or to have the band repaced (for which you wi be charged).
