ENGLISH
A newly-developed transparent liquid crystal panel called “WHITE-ON”
display is provided over the analogue dial. It shows white characters
clearly without blocking the view of the hands and dial, and various digital
displays can be turned on and off as you require. The watch, therefore,
serves as a multi-function digital watch as well as being an analogue
watch.

period.
● When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
malfunction.
● We recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery
replacement.

● Battery life indicator

When you see the second hand moving at two-second intervals instead of the
normal one-second intervals, the battery needs to be replaced with a new one. In
that case, replace the battery as soon as possible.
* Even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the accuracy of the
analogue time will not be affected. In that period, however, the digital display will not
18 be shown and the alarm will not ring.

* If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may
be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the
watch returns to normal temperature.
21
 * Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure
at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
