DIGITAL STOPWATCH
R23 Series (Cal. W942)
■HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
• The stopwatch can measure up to 9 hours, 59
minutes, 59 seconds and 99 in 1⁄100 seconds.
* Even if the stopwatch display is changed to another
while the measurement is in progress, it continues
counting properly. After the stopwatch is used,
however, be sure to reset it as the battery energy
is consumed enormously to shorten the battery
life.

If your watch is water resistant, “WATER RESISTANT”

suitable for swimming or skin diving (without
heavy breathing apparatus), but not for scuba
diving.
Non-water resistant: Care should be taken
not to get your watch wet as water may damage
the movement.
•Do not depress any 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

■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature lithium battery SEIKO SR1130W,which
powers your watch should last approximately 1 year.
However, because it is inserted at the factory, the
actual life of the battery once in your possession may
be less than 1 year.
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.
