WARNING
Exercise may include some risk, especially for those who have been sedentary.

MINIMIZING POSSIBLE RISKS WHILE EXERCISING

Before starting a regular exercise program, you should answer the following
questions about your health. If you answer YES to any of these questions, we
recommend that you consult a doctor before starting to exercise.
• Have you not exercised for the past 5 years?
• Do you have high blood pressure?
• Do you have high cholesterol?
• Do you have symptoms of any disease?
• Are you taking any blood pressure or heart medication?
• Do you have a history of breathing problems?
• Are you recovering from a serious illness or medical treatment?
• Do you use a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device?
• Do you smoke?
• Are you pregnant?

Note:
• It is important to be sensitive to your body’s reactions during exercise.
If you feel unexpected pain or excessive fatigue when exercising, you should
stop the exercise or continue at a lighter intensity.
• This watch measures general diving depth, and should not be used to
conduct precision measurement work.
• This watch is a precision electronic dive depth measurement tool, but is still
possible for it to become unsafe due to user error, external interference, or
other failures, so use at your own risk.

29
ATTENTION
1. Never try to open the case or remove its back cover.
2. Do not operate buttons underwater.
3. Should moisture appear inside the watch, have it checked immediately by
your dealer. Otherwise it can cause corrosion in the metal parts of the watch.
4. Though the watch is designed to withstand normal use, you should avoid
rough use or dropping the watch.
5. Avoid exposing the watch to temperature extremes.
6. Wipe the watch with a dry, soft cloth only. Avoid allowing it to come into
direct contact with chemical materials, which can cause deterioration in the
plastic parts of the watch.
7. Avoid wearing the watch in electromagnetic or static conditions.
WARNINGS
• This instrument is NOT intended for professional use. It is meant exclusively
for recreational use.
• The battery status must be checked before the dive. Do NOT dive when the
battery low indicator icon is on.
BEFORE THE DIVE
• Use the dive instrument only after having read the instruction manual in its
entirety and having understood how the watch works. If you have any doubts
or questions, contact the dealer before diving.
• It is crucial to understand that every diver is completely responsible for his
or her own safety.

30
 PARTNER

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

• Keep the watch clean and dry. Do not expose it to chemical agents, including
alcohol.
Use only fresh water to clean the watch, and remove all salt residue. Leave it
to air dry naturally; do not use jets of hot or cold air.
• Do not expose it directly to the sun or to sources of heat above 50°C. Store it
in a cool (5°C - 25°C) and dry place.
• Do not attempt to open it, modify it, or repair it yourself. Always contact an
authorized service center.
• The instrument is designed for a reading accuracy of +/- 2%. European
standards require that this unit be checked periodically for its accuracy in its
readings, depth, and time. The degree of accuracy required by the European
standards is +/- 3.5%.
• This product is manufactured to withstand use in seawater, but after the
dive you must rinse it thoroughly in fresh water and not expose it to direct
sunlight or sources of heat to dry it.
• Check that there are no signs of humidity inside the display.
Note:
• To change the battery safely, we recommend that you always contact an
authorized SEAC center.
