and then, keep the button pressed again

press and hold button “B” until the alarm
hands stop to indicate the current time.

20 seconds, and it is automatically disengaged
as it stops. To stop it manually, press
button “A” or “B”.
* While the stopwatch is measuring, the alarm
rings differently than usual. However, this is
not a malfunction.
* While the alarm is ringing, pressing button
“A” or “B” will only stop the alarm, and no
stopwatch operation can be made.
Note:
To correct the alarm time you have set,
follow the procedure described in “Alarm

■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
conventional luminous watches of this type.
If exposed 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.
■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery SEIKO SR927W, Maxell
SR927W, SONY SR927W or EVEREADY 399,
which powers your watch should last approximately
3 years. However, because it is inserted at
the factory, the actual life of the battery once
in your possession may be less than the specified
period.
Be sure to replace the battery to prevent any
possible malfunction as soon as it runs down.
To replace the battery, we recommend taking
the watch to a local watch repair shop.
Notes:
1. If the stopwatch is used for more than 2
hours a day and/or the alarm rings for
more than 20 seconds a day, the battery
life may be less than the specified period.
2. After the battery is replaced with a new
one, set the time/calendar and alarm
and adjust the stopwatch hand position.
■CARE OF YOUR LORUS WATCH
CAUTION
Do not expose the old battery to
fire or recharge it. Keep it at a
place beyond the reach of chil-
dren. If a child swallows it,
consult a doctor immediately.

•Do not press the buttons or turn the crown
when the watch is wet.
•If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse
it in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly
dry.

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 mag-
netism 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 tem-
perature.
■SERVICE
When your LORUS watch requires repair or
servicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/
GUARANTEE.
