CASIO FROGMAN GW-8230 - Master of G - Sea Manual

Operating Precautions

• Water Resistance
• A diver's watch is designed to withstand pressure up to 200 meters. Do not wear this watch at depths greater than the depth marked on it. It can be worn while skin diving, scuba diving, etc. Do not use a diver's watch for deep diving (diving with a gas mixture) or at a depth greater than that indicated.
• Do not operate the crown while the watch is submerged.
• After submersion in seawater, use plain water to rinse all salt and dirt from your watch.
• To maintain water resistance, be sure to have the gaskets of your watch replaced regularly (once every two years).
• A trained technician will inspect your watch for proper water resistance whenever you have its battery replaced. Battery replacement requires the use of special tools. Always request battery replacement from your original retailer or from an authorized CASIO service center.
• Your diver's watch has been tested in accordance with International Organization for Standardization regulations.
• Precautions before Diving
• Check to make sure that all watch functions are working properly.
• Check to make sure the battery is charged sufficiently.
  - Before using the watch for diving, charge its battery up to Level 2.
• Do not over-use display illumination while diving. Doing so can cause your watch to disable illumination and alarms in order to conserve battery power.
• Check to make sure that the current time setting is correct.
• Check the watch glass for scratching, cracking, fogging, and other abnormalities.
• Check the case and band for damage and other abnormalities. Also, ensure that the band is securely tightened.
• Precautions while Diving
• Take care so your watch does not come into contact with rocks and other hard items.
• Band
• Tightening the band too tightly can cause you to sweat and make it difficult for air to pass under the band, which can lead to skin irritation. Do not fasten the band too tightly. There should be enough room between the band and your wrist so you can insert your finger.
• Deterioration, rust, and other conditions can cause the band to break or come off of your watch, which in turn can cause band pins to fly out of position or to fall out. This creates the risk of your watch falling from your wrist and becoming lost, and also creates the risk of personal injury. Always take good care of your band and keep it clean.
• Immediately stop using a band if you even notice any of the following: loss of band flexibility, band cracks, band discoloration, band looseness, band connecting pin flying or falling out, or any other abnormality. Take your watch to your original retailer or to a CASIO service center for inspection and repair (for which you will be charged) or to have the band replaced (for which you will be charged).
• Temperature
• Never leave your watch on the dashboard of a car, near a heater, or in any other location that is subject to very high temperatures. Do not leave your watch where it will be exposed to very low temperatures. Temperature extremes can cause your watch to lose or gain time, to stop, or otherwise malfunction.
• Leaving your watch in an area hotter than +60°C (140°F) for long periods can lead to problems with its LCD. The LCD may become difficult to read at temperatures lower than 0°C (32°F) and greater than +40°C (104°F).
• Impact
• Your watch is designed to withstand impact incurred during normal daily use and during light activity such as playing catch, tennis, etc. Dropping your watch or otherwise subjecting it to strong impact, however, can lead to malfunction. Note that watches with shock-resistant designs (G-SHOCK, BABY-G, G-MS) can be worn while operating a chain saw or engaging in other activities that generate strong vibration, or while engaging in strenuous sports activities (motocross, etc.)
• Magnetism
• Though a digital watch normally is not affected by magnetism, very strong magnetism (from medical equipment, etc.) should be avoided because it can cause malfunction and damage to electronic components.
• Electrostatic Charge
• Exposure to very strong electrostatic charge can cause your watch to display the wrong time. Very strong electrostatic charge even can damage electronic components.
• Electrostatic charge can cause the display to go blank momentarily or cause a rainbow effect on the display.
• Chemicals
• Do not allow your watch to come into contact with thinner, gasoline, solvents, oils, or fats, or with any cleaners, adhesives, paints, medicines, or cosmetics that contain such ingredients. Doing so can cause discoloration of or damage to the resin case, resin band, leather, and other parts.
• Storage
• If you do not plan to use your watch for a long time, thoroughly wipe it free of all dirt, sweat, and moisture, and store it in a cool, dry place.
• Resin Components
• Allowing your watch to remain in contact with other items or storing it together with other items for long periods while it is wet can cause color on resin components to transfer to the other items, or the color of the other items to transfer to the resin components of your watch. Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other items.
• Leaving your watch where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long periods or failure to clean dirt from your watch for long periods can cause it to become discolored.
• Friction caused by certain conditions (strong external force, sustained rubbing, impact, etc.) can cause discoloration of painted components.
• If there are printed figures on the band, strong rubbing of the printed area can cause discoloration.
• Leaving your watch wet for long periods can cause fluorescent color to fade. Wipe the watch dry as soon as possible after it becomes wet.
• Semi-transparent resin parts can become discolored due to sweat and dirt, and if exposed to high temperatures and humidity for long periods.
• Daily use and long-term storage of your watch can lead to deterioration, breaking, or bending of resin components. The extent of such damage depends on usage conditions and storage conditions.
• Leather Band
• Allowing your watch to remain in contact with other items or storing it together with other items for long periods while it is wet can cause the color of the leather band to transfer to the other items or the color of the other items to transfer to the leather band. Be sure to dry off your watch thoroughly with a soft cloth before storing it and make sure it is not in contact with other items.
• Leaving a leather band where it is exposed to direct sunlight (ultraviolet rays) for long periods or failure to clean dirt from a leather band for long periods can cause it to become discolored.

Exposing a leather band to rubbing or dirt can cause color transfer and discoloration.

• Metal Components
• Failure to clean dirt from metal components can lead to formation of rust, even if components are stainless steel or plated. If metal components exposed to sweat or water, wipe thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth and then place the watch in a well-ventilated location to dry.
• Use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to scrub the metal with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent, or with soapy water. Next, rinse with water to remove all remaining detergent and then wipe dry with a soft absorbent cloth. When washing metal components, wrap the watch case with kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into contact with the detergent or soap.
• Bacteria and Odor Resistant Band
• The bacteria and odor resistant band protects against odor generated by the formation of bacteria from sweat, which ensures comfort and hygiene. In order to ensure maximum bacteria and odor resistance, keep the band clean. Use an absorbent soft cloth to thoroughly wipe the band clean of dirt, sweat, and moisture. A bacteria and odor resistant band suppresses the formation of organisms and bacteria. It does not protect against rash due to allergic reaction, etc.
• Liquid Crystal Display
• Display figures may be difficult to read when viewed from an angle.
• Watch with Data Memory
• Allowing the battery to go dead, replacing the battery, or having your watch repaired can cause all data in watch memory to be lost. Note that CASIO Computer Co., Ltd. assumes no responsibility for any damages or losses caused by data lost due to malfunction or repair of your watch, replacement of the battery, etc. Be sure to keep separate written copies of all important data.

User Maintenance

• Caring for Your Watch

Remember that you wear your watch next to your skin, just like a piece of clothing. To ensure your watch performs at the level for which it is designed, keep it clean by frequently wiping with a soft cloth to keep your watch and band free of dirt, sweat, water and other foreign matter.

• Whenever your watch is exposed to sea water or mud, rinse it off with clean fresh water.
• For a metal band or a resin band with metal parts, use a soft toothbrush or similar tool to scrub the band with a weak solution of water and a mild neutral detergent, or with soapy water. Next, rinse with water to remove all remaining detergent and then wipe dry with a soft absorbent cloth. When washing the band, wrap the watch case with kitchen plastic wrap so it does not come into contact with the detergent or soap.
• For a resin band, wash with water and then wipe dry with a soft cloth. Note that sometimes a smudge like pattern may appear on the surface of a resin band. This will not have any effect on your skin or clothing. Wipe with a cloth to remove the smudge pattern.
• Clean water and sweat from a leather band by wiping with a soft cloth.
• Not operating a watch crown, buttons, or rotary bezel could lead to later problems with their operation. Periodically rotate the crown and rotary bezel, and press buttons to maintain proper operation.
• Dangers of Poor Watch Care

Rust

• Though the metal steel used for your watch is highly rust-resistant, rust can form if your watch is not cleaned after it becomes dirty. ^ー Dirt on your watch can make it impossible for oxygen to come into contact with the metal, which can lead to breakdown of the oxidization layer on the metal surface and the formation of rust.
• Rust can cause sharp areas on metal components and can cause band pins to fly out of position or to fall out. If you ever notice any abnormality immediately stop using your watch and take it to your original retailer or to an authorized CASIO service center.
• Even if the surface of the metal appears clean, sweat and rust in crevasses can soil the sleeves of clothing, cause skin irritation, and even interfere with watch performance.

Premature Wear

• Leaving sweat or water on a resin band or bezel, or storing your watch an area subject to high moisture can lead to premature wear, cuts, and breaks.

Skin Irritation

• Individuals with sensitive skin or in poor physical condition may experience skin irritation when wearing a watch. Such individuals should keep their leather band or resin band particularly clean. Should you ever experience a rash or other skin irritation, immediately remove your watch and contact a skin care professional.

Battery

• The special rechargeable battery used by your watch is not intended to be removed or replaced by you. Use of a rechargeable battery other than the special one specified for your watch can damage your watch.
• The rechargeable (secondary) battery is charged when the solar panel is exposed to light, so it does not require regular replacement as the primary battery requires. Note, however, that long use or operating conditions can cause the capacity or charging efficiency of the rechargeable battery to deteriorate. If you feel that the amount of operation provided by charging is too short, contact your original retailer or CASIO service center.

World Time

Q1 The time for a World Time City is not correct.

The summer time setting (standard time/ summer time) is wrong.

Diving Function

Q1 I can't enter the Dive Mode.

The watch does not enter the Dive Mode while its charge is low or dead. Charge the watch before using it for diving.

Q2 The watch enters the Timekeeping Mode when it switches from dive time measurement to surface interval measurement.

If the charge becomes low while in the Dive Mode, the watch is not able to perform surface interval measurement. Charge the watch before using it for diving.

Q3 Measurement is in progress when I switch from the Timekeeping Mode to the Dive Mode.

This happens when a previous measurement is being continued. Enter the Dive Mode and reset measurement.

Tide Level

Q1 There are errors in the tide information.

Since the high tide and low tide times and tide levels of the Tide Graph are calculated based on past data, the calculated data may be different from actual tide information.

Also note that the degree of the error can be affected by terrain, weather, and other conditions. Use the tide information of this watch for reference only.

Be sure to check accurate tide forecast information issued by various organizations, and do not use the tide information of this watch to determine tide levels used for navigation or any other purpose where there is the risk of danger.
