● How to calculate the time difference between two cities
Ex.) When you move from Rome to New York:
8
[A] Rome time : +1 hour from GMT
[B] New York time : -5 hours from GMT
So the time difference between Rome and New York is:
[B] - [A] = (-5) - (+1) = -6 (hours)
You should move the hour hand back 6 hours.

NOTES ON USING THE WATCH
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
● To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then pull it out for setting the time or checking the calendar)
● To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.
TIME (DUAL TIME) / DATE SETTING
● When setting the date, turn the crown counterclockwise to advance the date and clockwise to move
it back. The date changes one day by turning the hour hand two full circles.
● The date changes between 11:45 p.m. and 0:30 a.m. while the watch is in operation and between 9:00
p.m. and 3:00 a.m. when it is changed manually by turning the hands. Therefore, note the following.
[AM/PM checking]
When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
* When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 3 o’clock marker. If the
date advances, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM
period.
* When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o’clock marker. If
the date moves back, the time is set for the PM period. If it does not change, the time is set for
the AM period.
[Setting the time between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m.]
* If the time is adjusted to the time period between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m., the date may not change
properly. The watch, however, will indicate the date properly after 3:00 a.m.
* To prevent this from occurring, first turn back the hour hand past 9:00 p.m., checking that the date
moves back to the previous day, and then, advance the hands to the desired time.
English
17
Page 18
● When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it
back to the exact time.
● The hour hand moves in one hour increments.
● When adusting the date and hour hand, turn the crown slowly. In doing so, the other hands may move
slightly. However, this is not a malfunction.
English
TIME DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT DURING TRIP
● To put back the time, turn the crown clockwise. To advance the time, turn it counterclockwise.
● When moving back the hour hand past the 12 o’clock marker to set it to a time between 9:00 p.m. and
0:00 a.m., put back the hour hand further past 8:00 p.m., and then advance it to the desired hour.
TIME DIFFERENCE
● The time differences and the use of daylight saving time (summer time) may change in some areas
or countries when they are so decided by the countries concerned.
HOW TO CHECK THE CALENDAR
● If the crown is pulled out to the second click instead of the first click and pushed back in to the normal
position, the watch will not show the calendar.
● Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will shorten the
battery life.
● Note on the leap second
One day normally is said to consist of 86,400 seconds. In fact, it can be longer or shorter than
this because of irregular changes in the rotation cycle of the earth. When the accumulated
fluctuations in the length of a day total plus or minus one second, one second must then be
18
added or subtracted as a correction factor. This is known as a “leap second”.
Page 19
The leap second correction is executed every year or two simultaneously throughout the
world on the basis of information collected by astronomical observatories all over the world.
The correction is effected between 11:59'59" p.m. and 0:00'00" a.m. GMT either on December
31 or on June 30, during which one second is added or subtracted.
When this happens, please adjust your watch accordingly.
Please refer to your newspaper for information on the leap second.
BATTERY CHANGE
5
Years
[Cal. 4F56]
10
Years
[Cal. 8F56]
The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately
5 years (Cal. 4F56) / 10 years (Cal. 8F56). However, because the battery
is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of 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 malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact
an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO CR1612 (Cal. 4F56)
/ SEIKO CR2412 (Cal. 8F56) battery.
* If the watch is left with the crown at the first or second click, if the calendar checking
function is used frequently, and/or if the watch is left in temperatures outside the
normal temperature range (5° C ~ 35° C or 41° F ~ 95° F) for a long time, the battery
life may be less than the specified period.
English
19
Page 20
● Battery life indicator
When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal
one-second interval, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the watch will stop operating in two weeks.
English
* The time accuracy is not affected even if the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
* While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the date will not change and the watch will
not show the calendar even if the crown is pulled out to the first click.
* If the watch is left in very low temperatures, the second hand may temporarily start moving at two-
second intervals and the date does not change to the next. When the watch returns to normal
temperature, however, this condition will be corrected and the correct date will be displayed on the next
day.
If the second hand still moves at two-second intervals and the date does not change properly, replace
the battery with a new one.
● Checking and adjustment of the calendar after battery change
The calendar function is not affected by battery changes. However, after the battery
is replaced with a new one, be sure to check that the calendar is correct. (See “HOW
TO CHECK THE CALENDAR”)
If the watch does not indicate the leap year, month and date correctly, have the watch
adjusted by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER.

Page 21
WARNING
● Do not remove the battery from the watch.
● If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of children. If
a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.
CAUTION
● Never short-circuit, heat or otherwise tamper with the battery, and never
expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
● The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause
battery leakage or damage to the battery.
