Accumulated elapsed time measurement

Lap time/split time measurement

• A “Start-Finish-End” stopwatch operation system is used. The data obtained from the start till finish of a race is recorded as a block and stored in memory.

Lap time Split time

Notes:

1. Up to 75 (Cal. W150) or 100 (Cal. W151)

measurements can be stored in memory. If more than 75 / 100 measurements are made, the measurements over 75 / 100 will not be stored in memory.

2. When the memory has become full and a lap

time/split time measurement is made, “FULL” appears below the measured lap time, indicating that the measurement data is not stored in memory. To check the memory capacity, change the mode to the MEMORY RECALL mode, which displays the number of storable data.

3. If the lap time measurement exceeds 60

minutes, any fraction less than a second will be discarded when it is displayed. The split time recalled in the MEMORY RECALL mode, which is the accumulation of the actual lap time measurements, therefore, may not be exactly equal to the one displayed when it was measured.

■ ILLUMINATING LIGHT

Light button

Press the light button in any mode. The electroluminescent light evenly illuminates the display for 3 seconds for easy viewing in the dark.

Notes:

1. The watch works with one battery. When the light begins to lose its luminance, this is an indication that the battery is depleted. We recommend that you change the battery before the watch itself stops.

2. If the light is used continuously for a long time, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

■ ViViDiGi

ViViDiGi is a new type of liquid crystal panel that makes possible various colors and high contrast.

• Excellent light reflection and transmission

make the display bright and clear.

• Various color options are available.

• Either the whole panel or the displayed data

only can be illuminated.

* Features vary in different models.

■ BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature battery SEIKO CR2025, which powers your watch should last approximately 3 years. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than 3 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: [For Cal. W150]

If the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds a day, the timer warning sound for more than 10 seconds a day, and/or the illuminating light for more than 3 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

[For Cal. W151]

If the alarm is used for more than 30 seconds a day, the timer warning sound for more than 30 seconds a day, and/or the illuminating light more than once a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

Necessary procedure after battery change

After the battery is replaced with a new one, or if an abnormal display (broken digits, etc.) appears, follow the procedure below to reset the IC.

• Press and hold buttons “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”

at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds. The display will become blank, and “12:00'00" a.m., January 1st, 1996, Monday (MO)” (Cal. W150) or “12:00'00" a.m., January 1st, 2000, Saturday (SA)” (Cal. W151) will be displayed after the buttons are released. Before using the watch, be sure to set the time/calendar and alarm.

• 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.
