The miniature battery which powers your
watch should last as individually specified
below. 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.
Note:If the alarm is used for more than 20
seconds a day and/or the illuminating
light for more than 8 seconds a day,
the battery life may be less than the
specified period.
■BATTERY CHANGE
■ILLUMINATING LIGHT

for about 2 seconds.
Note:
1. The backlight of the watch employs an

use.

may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.

regularly. If not, shirt sleeves may be stained

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.

strong magnetism. Keep it away from close
contact with magnetic objects.

activities, but be careful not to drop it or hit
it on hard surfaces.

accuracy may be insured at normal tem-
perature.
