Diving is a potentially dangerous sport. When using this watch for diving,

make sure you have a proper understanding of the procedures for handling

the watch as described in this manual and observe proper procedures.

Handling of this watch in a manner contrary to that described in this user’s

manual may prevent the watch from functioning properly.

THIS WATCH IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY DIVE INSTRUMENT.

To avoid injury

• Be careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself

or others.

• Be particularly careful when holding a small child with your watch on.

• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. Wearing

this watch may cause itching or rashes if you have sensitive skin or certain physical

conditions. If you think there is something wrong, take off the watch immediately

Safety precautions

General diving precautions

• In the case of using this watch for diving, always make sure you receive the

proper diving training from a licensed instructor to acquire the experience and

skills required for safe diving.

• Make sure you have completely mastered the handling and operation of this

watch.

Even recreational diving can be potentially dangerous. Diving without the proper or

adequate training can lead to a fatal or serious accident.

THIS WATCH IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY DIVE INSTRUMENT.

• Each diver must take responsibility for planning and executing his or her own

diving plan to ensure safe diving.

This watch is not equipped with a function that prevents decompression sickness.

In addition, this watch is also unable to check differences in physiological functions

of individual divers or differences in physical condition on that day.

Since the occurrence of decompression sickness is greatly affected by physical

condition, the degree of the risk of decompression sickness varies depending on

your physical condition on that day. It is recommended to avoid diving whenever

you are in poor physical condition such as when you are ill, fatigued, have not had

enough sleep or have a hangover.

Precautions relating to use of this watch

• This watch is not equipped with a function that indicates decompression diving.

Do not engage in decompression diving while using this watch.

Safety precautions

Precautions relating to use of this watch (continued)

• When using this watch for diving, always make sure to use the watch in

combination with other diving instruments (dive table, divers’ watch, residual

pressure gauge or water depth gauge).

Sudden atmospheric fluctuations and changes in water temperature may have an

effect on the display and performance of the watch. In addition, always make sure

to use the watch in combination with other diving instruments in case the watch

should happen to malfunction. This watch is not intended for use as a primary dive

instrument.

• Always make sure to check all functions of the watch before each dive to prevent

malfunctions and accidents caused by the use of improper settings.

In particular, make sure to check whether the watch is sufficiently charged and

that there are no insufficient charge warning (see page 51) on the display.
