■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.
✩Before using the stopwatch, be sure to check
that Crowns 1 and 2 are set at the normal
position, and press button “B” to reset the
stopwatch hands to “0” position.

■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery SEIKO SR927W, Maxell
SR927W, SONY SR927W or EVEREADY 399,
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 alarm is used more than once
a day and/or the stopwatch more than
20 seconds 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 to
indicate that the battery needs to be replaced.
* The watch will remain accurate while the second
hand is moving at two-second intervals.
■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.

• 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.
■SERVICE
When your LORUS watch requires repair or
servicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/
GUARANTEE.
