INTERNATIONAL GUARANTEE
This Mondia watch was manufactured using highly advanced techniques. Before it left the factory, it underwent stringent tests that enable us to offer a guarantee against defects in workmanship (excluding crystal and battery). The guarantee is valid for two years from the date of purchase and does not cover loss, theft, or damage due to fire, accident or improper use. This guarantee certificate must accompany the watch when service is requested under the guarantee.

The battery is not covered by the guarantee.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ANALOGUE WATCHES

WATCHES WITH CALENDAR
To set the watch so that the date changes at midnight
- Pull out the crown to the time setting position and advance the hands past 12 o'clock. If the date changes, the watch is showing 12 midnight. If the date does not change, the watch is showing 12 noon
- Set the time accordingly
Note: do not turn the hands anti-clockwise when going from noon to midnight
CHANGING THE DATE AND DAY
- Pull the crown outwards to the first notch

Note: do not attempt to change the date between 9 PM and 12 midnight. Do not attempt to change the day between 12 midnight and 4 AM
CHANGING THE BATTERY
- Be sure to change the battery when it is dead. Do not leave a dead battery in the watch. See your dealer for information on the expected life of the battery
- If the watch has a sweep second hand and the hand is moving every 2 seconds, the battery is running down (some models do not have this feature) but the watch will still keep perfect time
- See an authorised MONDIA dealer for battery replacement
- Be sure to install a battery recommended by MONDIA
Note: because it was installed at the factory, the battery in a new watch may have a slightly shorter life than its expected life
MAINTENANCE
- This watch is equipped with an electronic circuit board and a precision miniaturised stepping motor. To ensure that the watch will continue to keep perfect time, avoid hard knocks and extreme temperatures. Also, keep the watch away from strong magnetic fields
