■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, or SONY SR920SW, 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.
Notes:If the stopwatch is used for more
than 3 hours a day, the battery life
may be less than the specified period.
Battery life indicator
•When the battery nears its end, the small
second hand moves at two-second intervals
instead of normal one-second intervals. In
that case, have the battery replaced with a
new one as soon as possible.
•The watch remains accurate, however, while
the small second hand is moving at two-
second intervals.

1/5-second hand to the “0” position.
3. Press button B to reset the stopwatch hour and
minute hand to the “0” position.

reaction. If you develop a rash on your
wrist, stop wearing and consult a physician.
