below to reset the hands.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown clockwise until the previous
day’s date appears.
3. Pull out the crown to the second click
when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock

5. Push the crown back into the normal position
in accordance with a time signal.
Notes:
1. While the crown is at the second click,

2. Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m.

not change properly.
* If it is necessary to set the date during that
time period, first change the time to any time
outside it, set the date and then reset the
correct time.
3. When setting the hour hand, be sure to
check that AM/PM is correctly set. The

■NECESSARY PROCEDURE AFTER
BATTERY CHANGE
•When the battery is replaced, the time information
stored in the built-in IC and the time indicated
by the stopwatch hands do not correspond
with each other. Before using the watch,
therefore, be sure to reset the hands to the
“0” position, following the procedure below.
* In case any of the hands should move improperly,
follow the procedure below to adjust the hand
movement.

■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 SR920SW, Maxell
SR920SW, SONY SR920SW, Matsushita SR920SW
or EVEREADY 371, which powers your watch
should last approximately 2 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.
Note: If the stopwatch is used more than
60 minutes a day, the battery life
may be less than the specified period.
■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.

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. Printed in Hong Kong
