BATTERY CHANGE
Battery life : Approx. 2 years
Battery : SEIKO SR920SW
If the stopwatch is used for more than 2 hours a day, the battery life may be less
l
than the specified period.
As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of
l
the watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified
period.
When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
l
malfunction.
English
