• When the measurement is stopped or split
time is measured, it moves to indicate the
elapsed 1/20 seconds.
• After the measurement is restarted or split
time is released, the stopwatch 1/20-
second hand moves for about 10 minutes
and stops automatically.
• In the same manner, if the stopwatch is
stopped and restarted repeatedly or split
time is measured and released repeatedly,
the stopwatch 1/20-second hand moves
for about 10 minutes and stops
automatically.
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.
✩Before using the stopwatch, be sure to
check that the crown is set at the normal
position and that the stopwatch hands are
reset to the “0” position.

■LUMIBRITE WATCH
✼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 battery SEIKO SR927SW, Maxell SR927SW,
SONY SR927SW or EVEREADY 395, 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 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:
1. If the stopwatch is used for more than 3
hours a day, the battery life may be less
than the specified period.
2. After the battery is replaced with a new
one, set the time/calendar and adjust the
stopwatch hand position.
■CARE OF YOUR LORUS WATCH
• BATTERY
CAUTION
Do not expose the old battery to fire
or recharge it. Keep it at a place
beyond the reach of children. If a
child swallows it, consult a doctor
immediately.
