Handling cautions

WARNING Please note that there is a risk of serious consequences such as severe injury if the following safety regulations are not strictly observed.
Immediately stop wearing the watch in following cases: If the watch body or band becomes edged by corrosion etc. If the pins protrude from the band. Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
Keep the watch and accessories out of the reach of babies and children. Care should be taken to prevent a baby or a child accidentally swallowing the accessories. If a baby or child swallows the battery or accessories, immediately consult a doctor, as it will be harmful to the health of the baby or child.
Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch. About the secondary battery Power Source Replacement of the secondary battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for replacement of the secondary battery. Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition.

CAUTION Please note that there is a risk of minor injury or material damage if the following safety regulations are not strictly observed.
Avoid the following places for wearing or keeping the watch: Places where volatile agents (cosmetics such as polish remover, bug repellent, thinners etc.) are vaporizing Places where the temperature drops below 5°C or rises above 35°C for a long time (41°F and 95°F) Places affected by strong magnetism or static electricity Places affected by strong vibrations Places of high humidity Dusty places
If you observe any allergic symptoms or skin irritation Stop wearing the watch immediately and consult a specialist such as a dermatologist or an allergist.
Other cautions For adjusting the length of the metallic band, specialized knowledge and expertise are necessary. Therefore, in such a case, contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased. If you attempt to adjust the metallic band, injury may occur to your hand or fingers, or parts of the band may be lost. Do not disassemble or tamper with the watch. Keep the watch out of the reach of babies and children. Extra care should be taken to avoid risks of any injury or allergic rash or itching that may be caused when you touch the watch. When disposing of used batteries, follow the instructions of your local authorities. If your watch is of the fob or pendant type, the strap or chain attached to the watch may damage your clothes, or injure the hand, neck, or other parts of your body. Please keep in mind that if a watch is taken off and placed down as it is, the case back, the band and the clasp will rub against each other possibly causing scratches on the case back. We recommend placing a soft cloth between the case back, the band and the clasp after taking off your watch.

WARNING
	Do not use the watch for 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 watches specifically designed for diving.

CAUTION
	Do not pour running water directly from 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.

CAUTION
	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 CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.
	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.
	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.
