CARE AND MAINTENANCE
CARE OF THE WRIST UNIT
Your Outdoor Wrist Instrument should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and extended exposure to direct sunlight.
As the owner of the product you should only perform service procedures related to the changing of the battery as shown
in this manual. You should NEVER attempt to disassemble or otherwise service your watch. When not in use, your watch
should be stored in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
If your Outdoor Wrist Instrument gets dirty it should be carefully wiped clean using a moist cloth. Care should be taken
when cleaning the lens not to rub dirt into the surface as it can become scratched and hard to read.
CARE OF THE HEART RATE TRANSMITTER
Do not store the transmitter when wet as this may shorten the battery life. The transmitter should be stored flat rather
than folded and should never be bent or stretched as this may damage the electrodes. Never lay your heart rate
transmitter on a metal surface as this will quickly drain the battery.
CHANGING BATTERIES IN WATCH
The Loft uses a common CR2032 3v Lithium battery in both the watch and heart rate transmitter. These batteries are
commonly available at camera, bicycle, electronics and drug stores. Normal battery life for the watch is approximately 1yr.
Heavy use of the Altimeter, Heart Rate or Backlight system may significantly reduce battery life.
A blank display or inaccurate altimeter or heart rate readings are indications that the battery is getting weak and
should be replaced.
1. Remove battery door using a coin.
2. Turn the black plastic battery retainer counter-clockwise.
3. Carefully remove the retainer and old battery. Do not damage the O-ring seal.
4. Place a fresh battery in the battery compartment with the positive (+) side facing up.
5. Slide the battery retainer over the battery and position the tabs into their appropriate holes.
6. Both the battery and battery retainer should be positioned underneath the gold tab. Slide the
retainer counter clockwise.
7. Replace battery door using a coin.
8. If the O-ring has been damaged, replace it before reinstalling the battery door. Most jewelers and
watch shops should have replacement O-ring seals.
NOTE
NOTE
Extreme care should be taken when replacing the battery to ensure the unit remains fully water resistant. Failure
to properly replace the battery and correctly seal the unit may cause the unit to become damaged and may void
the warranty.
Lithium batteries of the type used in this watch are extremely sensitive to improper storage. It is our experience
that many of the batteries being sold as new have been stored improperly and are already dead or nearly dead
when purchased. If you replace the battery in your watch and it does not become functional, do not assume there
is something wrong with the watch. Try another battery and see if that solves things, most of the time it will.
