lBattery life indicator
When the battery nears its end, the 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 while the second hand is moving at two-second
intervals.
lWe recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER for battery
replacement.
lAfter the battery is replaced with a new one, adjust the stopwatch hand position and
set the time/calendar.
