Precautions for diving
Do not leave moisture, sweat and
dirt on the watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen
its water resistant performance because of deterioration of
the adhesive on the glass or gasket, or the development of
rust on stainless steel.
CAUTIONS
Do not turn or pull out the crown
when the watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
※ If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or
water droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the
water resistant performance of the watch is deteriorated.
Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased or SEIKO CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER.
water resistant performance of the watch is deteriorated.
Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased or SEIKO CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER.
Do not wear the watch while taking
a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may
accelerate the deterioration of water resistant performance of
the watch.
■CAUTIONS ON WATER RESISTANCE
WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving
or saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh
environment, which are usually required for watches designed
for scuba diving or saturation diving, have not been
conducted on the water-resistant watch with the BAR
(barometric pressure) display. For diving, use special watches
for diving.
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly
from the faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough
to degrade the water resistant performance of a water
resistant watch for everyday life.
If water-resistant level of your watch is
defined as “WATER RESISTANT”
If water-resistant level of your watch is
defined as “AIR DIVER’
S”
If you notice any abnormalities, contact the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO
CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
CAUTION
Before using the diver's watch, you have to be
properly trained in various types of diving and possess
the requisite experience and skill to dive safely. When
diving, strictly abide by the rules of diving.
CAUTION
○ Never use the watch in saturation diving using
helium gas.
○ While diving, never operate the watch in any other
manner than described in this instruction manual.
