■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.
■ILLUMINATING LIGHT
(except Cal. W140)
When EL button is pressed and released in
the time/calendar or stopwatch display, or
in the alarm setting or time/calendar setting
function, the electroluminescent light evenly
illuminates the display for 4 seconds for
easy viewing in the dark.
EL button
Notes:
1. The watch works with one battery. When
the light begins to lose its luminance,
this is an indication that the battery is
depleted. We recommend that you change
the battery before the watch itself stops.
2. If the light is used continuously for a
long time, the battery life may be less
than the specified period.
■BATTERY CHANGE
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.

CAUTION
Do not expose the old battery to

place beyond the reach of chil-
dren. If a child swallows it, consult
a doctor immediately.
* If your watch is 200 M/20 BAR, 100 M/10
BAR or 50 M/5 BAR water resistant, it is so
indicated on the dial/case back.
•Do not operate the buttons when the watch
is wet.

it in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly
dry.

Note: If the alarm is used for more than 30
seconds a day (and/or the illuminating
light for more than 4 seconds a day
for Cal. W136, W190, Y735 and Y736),
the battery life may be less than the
specified period.
■ViViDiGi
ViViDiGi is a new type of liquid crystal panel
that makes possible various colors and high
contrast.
• Excellent light reflection and transmission
make the display bright and clear.
• Various color options are available.
• Either the whole panel or the displayed
data only can be illuminated. (Except Cal.
W140)
* Features vary in different models.

• 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.
