Notes:
1. Up to 75 (Cal. W150) or 100 (Cal. W151)
measurements can be stored in memory. If
more than 75 / 100 measurements are made,
the measurements over 75 / 100 will not be

3. If the lap time measurement exceeds 60
minutes, any fraction less than a second
will be discarded when it is displayed. The

■ILLUMINATING LIGHT
Light
button
Press the light button in any mode. The
electroluminescent light evenly illuminates
the display for 3 seconds for easy viewing in
the dark.
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 bat-
tery 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.
■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.
* Features vary in different models.
■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery SEIKO CR2025, which
powers your watch should last approximately
3 years. However, because it is inserted at the
factory, the actual life of the battery once in
your possession may be less than 3 years.
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:
[For Cal. W150]
If the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds
a day, the timer warning sound for more than
10 seconds a day, and/or the illuminating light
for more than 3 seconds a day, the battery life
may be less than the specified period.
[For Cal. W151]
If the alarm is used for more than 30 seconds
a day, the timer warning sound for more than
30 seconds a day, and/or the illuminating light
more than once a day, the battery life may be
less than the specified period.
Necessary procedure after battery change
After the battery is replaced with a new one, or
if an abnormal display (broken digits, etc.)
appears, follow the procedure below to reset
the IC.
•Press and hold buttons “A”, “B”, “C” and “D”
at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds. The
display will become blank, and “12:00'00"
a.m., January 1st, 1996, Monday (MO)” (Cal.
W150) or “12:00'00" a.m., January 1st, 2000,
Saturday (SA)” (Cal. W151) will be displayed
after the buttons are released. Before using
the watch, be sure to set the time/calendar
and alarm.

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.

Your watch is preadjusted so that constant
accuracy may be insured at normal tem-
perature.
