Handling Precautions (2)
WARNING
Do not use the watch for scuba diving or saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which are usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving, have not been conducted on this watch. For diving, use special watches for diving.
The radio waves emitted from this product may have a negative impact and cause an accident due to a malfunction.
Do not use this product near medical equipment.
The radio waves may affect pacemakers and electric medical equipment . Do not use it in crowded places such as packed trains, and inside of medical institutions.
Do not use this product near automatic control devices
such as automatic doors and re alarm systems.
In the places where transmission of radio waves is prohibited, such as in airplanes, turn off the automatic reception function of the watch, and do not perform manual reception.
The radio waves emitted from this product may adversely affect other devices.
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from faucet onto the watch.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water resistant per formance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.
Do not push the buttons when the watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with
condensation or water droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant performance of the watch is deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER .
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the watch for a long time.

Band
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust. Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for longer use.
Metallic band
・ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band
if they are left for a long time.
・ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve
edge of shirts.
Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
・ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in
water and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush.
(Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in
plastic wrap etc.
Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
・ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case
may fall off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.
・ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case,
refrain from using the watch and request repair.
Leather band
・ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from
moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
・ Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting
them up with a dry cloth. ・ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time. ・ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as
dirt is likely to show up. ・ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free
bands while bathing, swimming, and when working with water even
if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced for daily use (10- or 20-
BAR water resistant).
Silicone band
・ As for material characteristics, the band is easily dirtied, and may
be stained and discolored. Wipe off dirt with a wet cloth or cleaning tissue.
・ Unlike bands of other materials, cracks may result in the band being
cut. Take care not to damage the band with an edged tool.
Polyurethane band
・ A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and
may be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.
・ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs
other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration. ・ Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth. (Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in
plastic wrap etc.
・ When the band becomes less exible, have the band replaced with
a new one. If you continue to use the band as it is, the band may
develop cracks or become brittle over time.
Notes on skin irritation and allergy
Notes on the length of the band
Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert a nger between the band and your wrist.

Remarks on Battery
1. Notes on the battery
(1) Battery life
This watch keeps operating for approximately 7 years if a new normal
battery is inserted in it.
If the time synchronization via the Bluetooth communication is used
more than once a day and/or the count-up timer more than 1 hour a day, however, the watch may run down in less than 7 years.
(2) Monitor battery
The battery in your watch is a monitor battery which 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 specied period.
(3) Battery replacement
・For battery replacement, be sure to have the battery replaced with
a new one at the retailer from whom the watch was purchased, specifying a genuine SEIKO battery.
・If the old battery is left in the watch for a long time, a malfunction
may be caused due to battery leakage, etc. Have it replaced with a new one as soon as possible.
・Battery replacement is made at cost even if it runs down within the
guarantee period.
・Once the case back is opened for battery replacement or other
purposes, the original water resistant quality designed for the watch may deteriorate when it is closed. When you have the battery replaced with a new one, also request the water resistance test suitable for the water resistant quality of your watch. If your watch has 10-bar or higher water resistant quality, be sure to have such test performed on the watch every time the battery is replaced. Please note that it takes several days to check the water resistant quality of your watch. When requesting the checking, therefore, please confirm the period required for it.
・If the watch stops operating soon after the battery is replaced with
a new one, it needs to be overhauled. (Refer to P. 2 3.)
2. Battery life indicator
The watch is equipped with a battery life indicator that enables you to know when the battery needs to be replaced.
When the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals, the
※
watch may run down in a week or so. Have the battery replaced with a new one as soon as possible by the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Do not open the case back to take out the
●
battery. If the battery is removed from the case back
●
WARNING
CAUTION
for any unavoidable reason, put it in a place beyond the reach of children. If it is swallowed by a child, consult the doctor immediately.
Never short-circuit, heat or disassemble the
●
battery. Never put it close to a fire. It may explode, generate an intense heat or catch re.
The battery inserted in your watch is not
rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it. If it is recharged accidentally, it may explode.
Use only the battery specied for your watch. If
●
a battery other than specied is inserted in the watch, it may explode.
When disposing of an old battery, observe the

adjustment purpose
It is recommended that disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) for checking and adjustment purpose be performed periodically approximately once every 3 to 4 years, in order to maintain optimal performance of the watch for a long time.
The watch is a precision device. It may stop operating or lose time
if its parts run low on oil or wear out.
The watch may also stop operating due to battery leakage
depending on the condition of use. Its water resistant quality may be impaired due to entry of
perspiration or moisture as the gasket or other parts deteriorate.
If any of the above should occur, please contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) for checking and adjustment purpose. For replacement of parts, please specify "SEIKO GENUINE PARTS." When requesting overhaul, be sure to have the gasket and push pin replaced with new ones.
