■ LUMIBRITE WATCH

(dial, hands, buttons, case, bezel, strap, etc.)

✩ If your watch is a LORUS LUMIBRITE watch,

it has following features.

LORUS LUMIBRITE watches absorb and store light energy from natural and artificial light sources and emit light in the dark. They are made of environmentally friendly material, and therefore, are harmless to human beings and the environment.

• With a full charge, LORUS LUMIBRITE watches glow in the dark hours longer than conventional luminous watches of this type. If exposed to a light of more than 500 lux (i.e., the brightness of a typical office) for approximately 10 minutes, or direct sunlight for 2 minutes, they will glow for hours.

• Since LORUS LUMIBRITE watches emit the light they store, the brightness will decrease gradually over time. The length of time they will glow may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of and distance from the light source used to charge the watch.

■ ILLUMINATING LIGHT

■ BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature battery PANASONIC CR2025 which powers your watch should last approximately 8 years. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than the specified period. 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 10

seconds a day and/or the illuminating light for more than 4 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

CAUTION

Do not expose the old battery to fire or recharge it. Keep it at a place beyond the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.

* If your watch is 200 M/20 BAR, 100 M/10

BAR or 50 M/5 BAR water resistant, it is so indicated on the dial/case back.

• Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet.

• If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse it in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly dry.

Caution:

Leather straps are not water resistant except so indicated, even if the watch head is water resistant.

• ALLERGIC REACTION

Because the case and band touch the skin directly, it is important to clean them regularly. If not, shirt sleeves may be stained and those with delicate skin may develop a rash. Please wear the watch with some play to avoid any possible allergic reaction. If you develop a rash on your wrist, stop wearing and consult a physician.

• MAGNETISM

Your watch will not be affected by magnetism generated by household electric appliances.

• SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS

Your watch may be worn for normal sports activities, but be careful not to drop it or hit it on hard surfaces.

• TEMPERATURE

Your watch is preadjusted so that constant accuracy may be insured at normal temperature.

■ SERVICE

When your LORUS watch requires repair or servicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/GUARANTEE.

Printed in China

When the light button is pressed and released in the time/calendar or stopwatch display, or in the alarm setting or time/calendar setting function, the light illuminates the display for 4 seconds for easy viewing in the dark.
