■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 approxi-
mately 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.
■CARE OF YOUR LORUS WATCH
• BATTERY
■BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature lithium battery SONY or Panasonic
CR2025,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 2 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.
This watch contains precise electronic components.
Never attempt to open the case or remove the back
cover.
CAUTION
Do not expose the old battery to
fire or recharge it. Keep it at a
place beyond the reach of child-
ren. If a child swallows it,
consult a doctor immediately.

•WATER RESISTANT

When your LORUS watch requires repair or
sevicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/

•Do not operate the buttons when the watch is
wet.
•If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse it
in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly dry.
•Should you find any water or condensation
inside the watch, immediately have it checked.
Water can corrode electric parts inside the
case.
Caution:
Leather straps are not water resistant except so
indicated, even if the watch head is water
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/ STATIC ELECTRICITY
Your watch will not be affected by magnetism
generated by household electric appliances but
keep your watch away from a place where the
watch is subject to strong electric field and static
electricity.
•SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS
Your watch may be worn for normal sports
activities, However, be careful not to drop it or
hit it on hard surfaces and avoid any severe
impacts.
•TEMPERATURE
Your watch works with stable accuracy within a
temperature range between 0˚C and 50 ˚C. Do not
expose the watch to a place exceeding this
temperature range.
• CLEANING
Use only a soft cloth and clean water for cleaning
your watch. Never use chemicals, especially soap.
