ILLUMINATING LIGHT

■

In any mode press S4 to illuminate the display for
about 3 seconds.

Note:

1. The backlight of the watch employs an electro­luminescent (EL) light, which tends to lose
illuminating power after very long use.

2. The illumination provided by backlight may be
hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

BATTERY CHANGE

■

The miniature battery SEIKO CR2016, Maxell CR2016
or SONY CR2016 which powers your watch should

.

last approximately 4 years. However, because it is
inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery
once in your possession may be less than 4 years.

Be sure to replace the battery to prevent any
possible malfunction as soon as it runs down. To
replace the battery we recommend taking the
watch to a local watch repair shop.

.

Note: If the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds

a day and/or the illuminating light for more
than 8 seconds a day, the battery life may
be less than the specified period.
