■LUMIBRITE WATCH
(dial, hands, buttons, case, bezel,
strap, etc.)
✩If your watch is a LORUS LUMIBRITE watch,
it has following features.
LORUS LUMIBRITE watches absorb and store
light energy from natural and artificial light sources
and emit light in the dark. They are made of
environmentally friendly material, and therefore,
are harmless to human beings and the environment.
•With a full charge, LORUS LUMIBRITE watches
glow in the dark hours longer than conven-
tional luminous watches of this type. If ex-
posed to a light of more than 500 lux (i.e., the
brightness of a typical office) for approximately
10 minutes, or direct sunlight for 2 minutes,
they will glow for hours.
•Since LORUS LUMIBRITE watches emit the
light they store, the brightness will decrease
gradually over time. The length of time they
will glow may also differ slightly depending
on such factors as the brightness of and distance
from the light source used to charge the watch.
•With each press of button “C”in the REGULAR
ALARM mode, the engagement and disengagement
of the regular alarm and hourly time signal
are made as follows.

•At the designated time, the alarm rings for
20 seconds and stops. To stop it manually,
press any of the buttons.
•The alarm can be tested by keeping button
“C”pressed in the REGULAR ALARM mode.
Notes:
1. When the time function is displayed in the
24-hour indication, the alarm is also displayed
in the 24-hour indication.
2.When setting the hour digits in the 12-
hour indication, check that AM/PM is properly
set. Only “PM”mark is displayed and
there is no indication for the AM setting.
In the 24-hour indication, “24H”is displayed.
■ILLUMINATING LIGHT
•When button “B”is pressed and released
in any of the modes and displays, the light
illuminates the display for 3 seconds for
easy viewing in the dark. The display remains
illuminated if button “B”is kept pressed.
•When button “B”is pressed in the calendar
or blank display of the TIME/CALENDAR
mode, the time/calendar is shown while
the display is illuminated.
■ViViDiGi
Note: If the alarm is used for more than 10
seconds a day and/or the illuminating
light for more than once (for 3 seconds)
a day, the battery life may be less than
the specified period.
■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature lithium batteries SONY SR626SW
for analogue display and SONY SR41W for
digital display,which power your watch should
last approximately 2 years. However, because
they are inserted at the factory, the actual
life of the batteries once in your possession
may be less than the specified period. Be
sure to replace the batteries to prevent any
possible malfunction as soon as they run down.
To replace the batteries, we recommend taking
the watch to a local watch repair shop.

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.

* If your watch is 200 M/20 BAR, 100 M/10 BAR

servicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/
GUARANTEE.
Printed in China
•Do not operate the crown and 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 magnet-
ism 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 tempera-
ture.
