after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial or caseback.

ENGLISH
1A watch with water resistance for daily life 30m (3 bar) can be used during
face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which it will be
submerged in water.
2A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50m (5 bar) can be
used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving
including skin diving.
3A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100m or 200m (10
or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba
diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.
4Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using
the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely
screwed down.
5Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water
may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance.
6If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during
face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water
or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth.
7Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing strong
jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit can
apply, which may defeat the water resistance.
8With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case
after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects.
9The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may
cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler than
the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary it causes
no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters the watch,
consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem untreated.

(2) Handling the Battery
1If a button battery or coin battery is ingested, it may cause chemical burns
or perforation of mucous membrane even in a short period of time, and in
the worst-case scenario, may result in death. Never leave button batteries
or coin batteries within the reach of infants or young children.
If a button battery or coin battery is ingested, or there is a possibility
that one was ingested, it must be removed at once. Please treat as an
emergency situation and contact a doctor immediately.
2Do not remove the battery from the watch. Contact the place of purchase
of the watch or your nearest ORIENT authorized service center for
assistance when wanting to remove the battery.
3The battery used in this watch is not a rechargeable battery, so it cannot be
recharged and used again. Do not attempt to charge the battery as doing
so could cause it to overheat or explode.
4A skin rash or other symptom may develop if leaking battery fluid comes
into contact with skin. Do not leave depleted batteries sitting around for
long periods of time.
(3) Replacing the Battery
1Depleted batteries that are left sitting in the watch for long periods of time
may begin to leak battery acid, which could lead to malfunction. Be sure to
replace depleted batteries as soon as possible.
2Replace the watch battery only with the specified battery type.
3Battery replacement requires special-purpose tools, techniques, etc.
Reversing the polarities when inserting the battery may cause the battery
to overheat or explode. Contact the place of purchase or your nearest
ORIENT authorized service center for assistance when wanting to replace
the battery.

ENGLISH
4The watch comes equipped with a battery end of life indicator.
If the small second hand begins to advance two tick marks for every
movement, it means that the battery is nearing the end of its life and will
need to be replaced.
Contact the place of purchase or your nearest ORIENT authorized service
center immediately for assistance with battery replacement.
(4) Shock
1Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous sports,
whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not adversely influence
the watch.
2Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the floor.
(5) Magnetism
1If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism
for an extended period of time, the components may be
magnetized, resulting in malfunction. Be careful.
2The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when
exposed to magnetism. Precision is restored when placed
away from magnetism. In such a case, reset the time.
(6) Vibration
The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong vibrations such as
from riding motorcycles, using jackhammers, chain saws, etc.
(7) Temperature
In the environment below and above the normal temperatures <5°C to
35°C>, the watch may malfunction and stop.
CAUTION
!
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a
sauna. The watch may heat and cause burns.

ENGLISH
(8) Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,
mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents
containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,
cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the
watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and
damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.
(9) About accessory parts
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch.
WARNING
!
Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of
children.
If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
(10)Allergic reactions
CAUTION
!
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due to
contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately and
consult a doctor.

(11) About “luminous light”
Some models have luminous light on the hands and dial.
The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light
without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark
setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer
over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted
depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape
of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the
distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.
Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may
emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.
(12)Water resistant watchband
Some models employ leather and nylon bands on which a special
treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.
Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be
lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALIBER NUMBER
Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or
the case code on the watch’s case back.
1. Searching by 10-digit model number
Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch.
You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second
and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch.
Example: If the model number is “UB8A002B”, the caliber number is
“UB”.
2. Searching by the case code
See the case code on the case back of your watch.
A: If the case code is 6 digits, the first two digits indicate the caliber number.
B: If the case code is 8 or 9 digits, the first three digits indicate the movement
number. Search the caliber number corresponding to the movement number
referring to the correspondence table.
Example A Example B
Case code Case code
9
ENGLISH
Example A : When the case code is “UB8A-Q0”, the caliber number is “UB”.
Example B : When the case code is “HM50A7B-4”, the movement number
is “HM5”. The caliber number corresponding the number will
be found “UB” on the table.
* The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and
difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.
* The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual
appearance of your watch but the function and operation procedures are
the same.
