CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Your AXIS OUTDOOR WRIST INSTRUMENT should be protected from shocks, extreme heat and
extended exposure to direct sunlight. You should only perform service procedures related to the
changing of the battery as shown in this manual.

NEVER

attempt to disassemble or otherwise service

your instrument. Store the unit in a clean, dry area at room temperature.
Clean your instrument 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.

CHANGING WATCH BATTERY

The Axis uses a common CR2032 3V Lithium battery.
Normal battery life is approximately 1yr.

NOTE:

Heavy use of the Altimeter, Compass or Backlight system may significantly reduce

battery life.

NOTE:

A blank display or inaccurate altimeter or compass readings are indications that the

battery is getting weak and should be replaced.

REPLACING THE INSTRUMENT BATTERY

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. 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:

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.
