✩

The electroluminescent display loses its luminance as the battery voltage decreases.
In addition, the luminance level of the electroluminescent panel decreases

English

gradually over time. After 500 hours of use, the level decreases by about half.
* 500 hours of use corresponds to 7 years of use if the illuminating light is used

140 times a day.

✩

When the illuminating light becomes dim, have the battery replaced with a new
one. If the illuminating light remains dim after the battery is replaced, have the
electroluminescent panel replaced with a new one by the retailer from whom the
stopwatch was purchased, or an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER. It will be

replaced at cost.

✩

While the illuminating light is used, the stopwatch may make a very small noise.
However, this is not a malfunction.

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

● When all the digits start flashing, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the display will become blank and the watch will stop operating in 2 to 3
days. We suggest that you have the battery replaced by a SEIKO DEALER.

* Even though the display is flashing, time accuracy is not affected.

24

BATTERY CHANGE

English

3

Years

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately
3 years. 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 CR2032 battery.

* If the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds a day, the

confirmation sound more than 50 times a day and/or the
illuminating light more than 3 times a day (for 3 seconds each
time), the battery life may be less than the specified period.

CAUTION

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.

rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it
completely.

* When taking a shower with a water

resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
a water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch,
be sure to observe the following:

• Do not operate the buttons when the
watch is wet with soapy water or
shampoo.

• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight
time loss or gain may be caused. This
condition, however, will be corrected
when the watch returns to normal
temperature.

NOTE:

Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should
not be considered as corresponding to actual
diving depth since swimming movement tends
to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care
should also be taken on diving into water.

■ TEMPERATURES

Your watch works with

+60°C

stable accuracy between a

temperature range of 5°C

Temperatures over 60°C (140°F) may
cause battery leakage or shorten the
battery life.
If the watch is left in direct sunlight
for a long time, the display may become
black, but this condition will be corrected
when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
Do not leave your watch in very low
temperatures below –10°C␣ (+14°F) for
a long time since the cold may cause:

■ CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

To prevent possible rusting of
the case and bracelet caused
by dust, moisture and

28

■ CHEMICALS

Be careful not to expose the
watch to solvents (e.g., alcohol
and gasoline), mercury (i.e.,
from a broken thermometer),

cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or
paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet,
etc. may become discolored, deteriorated
or damaged.

■ PRECAUTION REGARDING

If your watch has a protective
film and/or a sticker on the case

before using your watch.
Otherwise, perspiration getting in under
