 (16) SPECIAL FEATURES
SOLAR MOVEMENT

SOLAR-POWERED WATCH
Your watch contains a solar cell underneath the dial to convert any form of light into electrical energy and store the power
in a secondary battery.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Unlike conventional quartz watches, your watch does not use a silver oxide battery, thus eliminating the need for battery
replacement.

RUNNING TIME
Expected running time from full charge to stoppage will be approximately 4 months (assuming no exposure to light during
that time).

POWER DEPLETION WARNING FUNCTION

The two-second intervals movement of the second hand is a signal of energy depletion.
The watch continues to work for approximately 2 weeks.

WARNING
Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in your watch. The rechargeable cell should never be
removed from the watch. Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage. Please follow the instructions of
your municipality regarding collection of batteries.
Avoid exposing the watch to excessive heat.

 CARE, MAINTENANCE, PRODUCT SAFETY AND BATTERY SAFETY

Your Lacoste watch has been developed with meticulous attention to quality, function and detail. Please read the following
information and instructions carefully to learn about the features, proper care and operation of your new timepiece. For
additional information on service and repairs, please see the Service and Warranty section.

Never open the watch yourself. If your watch needs repair or adjustment, take or mail it directly to an authorized Lacoste
Watches Service Center. For a complete worldwide listing, visit us online at www.mgiservice.com

SHOCK
All of our watches have shock-resistant movements and are tested to meet international standards for shock resistance.

ALUMINUM
Aluminum is highly resistant and will not tarnish or rust. It is however susceptible to scratches. To avoid scratching the color
off of your aluminum piece and to take care of your watch, steer clear of any corrosive chemicals and avoid wearing it with
other pieces (such as jewelry) on the same wrist. To maintain your aluminum piece, you are recommended to gently clean it
regularly with a soft cloth.

MAGNETISM
The exposure of a timepiece to a strong magnetic field will affect its time-keeping, and may cause it to stop. A quartz watch
should resume working with its original accuracy when removed from the magnetic field; an automatic or hand-wound
mechanical timepiece, however, may require demagnetization before it will operate again.

WATER RESISTANCE
All of our watches are tested to meet international standards for water resistance to at least 3 bar (3ATM/30M/99 feet).
Faucet spray or rain won’t hurt them as long as the case, crown, gaskets and crystal remain intact. Timepieces marked water
resistant to 5 bar (5ATM/50M/165 feet) may be worn while showering or swimming, but not while scuba diving. Timepieces
marked water resistant to 10 bar (10ATM/100M/328 feet) may be worn while showering or swimming and scuba diving.
These indications do not correspond to a diving depth but rather refer to the pressure at which the tests required to meet
the international water resistance standard were conducted.

CAUTION: If the water resistance limit is not marked on your watch, do not subject it to a pressure/depth greater than 3 bar
(3 ATM/30M/99 feet), or your watch could be damaged and your warranty will be voided.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate your watch crown, push buttons on a chronograph model, or any other pushers/buttons when
the watch is wet or under water, or it will not remain water resistant. If your watch is equiped with a screw-down crown, be
sure to screw it/them back down into the case after every operation.

NOTE: Lacoste Watches will not be responsible for any damage caused by or related to leakage originating from improper
handling or damage to the case, crown, gaskets or crystal.

Water resistance applies only to the watch case; some watch straps should not be worn under water or subjected to wet
conditions. Please see STRAP CARE.

To care as best as possible for your watch, carefully wipe it down using a soft cloth dampened with fresh water after
exposure to chlorine or sea water. Avoid exposing your watch to sudden and excessive temperature variations. Do not drop
your watch or bang it against a hard surface. Water resistance must be rechecked after every violent shock.

To maintain water resistance, yearly maintenance is required. The gaskets and crown which seal the case are subject to
wear and deterioration under normal use. These parts should be inspected and replaced as needed each time the watch is
opened for service, including battery changes.

Your Authorized Lacoste Watches Service Center will automatically retest your watch for water resistance as a routine step
in all service orders.

 CARE, MAINTENANCE, PRODUCT SAFETY AND BATTERY SAFETY

STRAP CARE
While the life span of a watch strap depends on your care and wearing habits, as well as climate in which you live, proper
care will extend its life.

Leather strap should be kept dry. Exposure to water may cause a leather watch strap to become brittle and eventually
break. To preserve the finish of the leather, contact with perfumes should be avoided. Following exposure to chlorinated or
salt water, gently damp wipe your leather strap with fresh water, and air dry.

To help preserve the natural elasticity and quality of a silicone or rubber strap, rinse it using a soft cloth soaked in fresh
water following exposure to salt water, chemicals or abrasive substances.

Use warm water and a neutral pH soap applied to a soft cloth to gently clean a white silicone or rubber strap; then wipe
with a second clean cloth dipped in warm water, or rinse carefully under warm running water. Contact with acetone and
ethyl alcohol should be avoided.

NOTE: Watch straps are not covered by the watch warranty.

BATTERY INFORMATION
Your quartz analog watch or chronograph has a battery specially designed for watches. It will last approximately 18-
36 months under normal use.

NOTE: Frequent use of special functions, like the stopwatch timer on chronograph models, may shorten battery life.

End-of-life feature: The second hand on many models will start to move haltingly in 2 second increments when the battery
is almost exhausted, signaling the need to have it replaced.

Battery replacement: Take or send your watch to an Authorized Lacoste Watches Service Center to have battery changed –
your old battery will be disposed of/recycled properly. Do not attempt to change the battery yourself.
