when the chronograph is reset, follow the procedure below to
reset the hands.
ADJUSTING THE CHRONOGRAPH HAND POSITION
Before setting the time, be sure to check if the chronograph
hands are in the “0” position when the chronograph is reset.
Note: The “0” position of the chronograph 1/10 second hand
differs depending on the models.
* Some models have the “0” position of the chronograph
1/10 second hand at 3 and 9 o’clock sides of the small
dial. In that case, check if the hand is level with its both
ends pointing to those “0” positions.
* If the chronograph is in use, press the buttons in the following
order to reset it, and then check if the hands return to the “0”
position. (For details, refer to “CHRONOGRAPH”.)

once in 24 hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker
to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M.
period. If it does not change, the time is set for the P.M.
period.

The measured time is indicated by the small chronograph hands

• The chronograph 1/10 second scale and hand differ in design
and shape depending on the models.
* Some models have the chronograph 1/10 second scale graduated
on the upper half of the small dial and the hand which is so
designed that both ends can indicate the elapsed 1/10 second.
In that case, read the marker on the scale where either end of
the hand points to.
• After the measurement exceeds 1 minute, the chronograph 1⁄10
second hand stays at the “0” position.
When the measurement is stopped, it will move to indicate the
elapsed 1/10 seconds.

When the battery is replaced, the time information stored in the
built-in IC and the time indicated by the hands do not correspond
with each other. Before using the watch, therefore, be sure to
reset the hands to the “0” position, following the procedure below.
* In case any of the hands should move improperly, follow the
procedure below to adjust the hand movement.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
Your watch contains a highly precise electronic circuit and a
crystal oscillator, and to maintain its high accuracy you should
not subject it to violent shocks or extreme temperatures.
Your watch is classified into one of the following four groups by
the degree of water resistance. Please read the appropriate item
below for proper use.
If your watch is water resistant, “WATER RESISTANT” is shown
on the back of your watch case. If your watch is 200 m, 100m or
50 m water resistant, it is so indicated on the dial. If your watch
is non-water resistant, there is no such indication.
Water resistant: These watches are designed to withstand
accidental contact with water, for example, splashes or rain, but
should not be worn while swimming or diving.
Water resistant (50 m/5 BAR): These watches are suitable
for swimming and can be worn in the shower, but not for diving.
If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse it in fresh water and
then wipe it thoroughly dry.
Do not press any buttons or turn the crown when the watch is wet.

The miniature battery SEIKO SR920SW which powers your watch
should last approximately 2 years. However, because the battery
is inserted at the factory, its actual life once in your possession
may be less than the specified period.
Note: If the chronograph is used for more than 60 minutes a day,
battery life may be less than the specified period.
BATTERY CHANGE
Water resistant (100 m/10 BAR, 200 m/20 BAR): These
watches are suitable for swimming or skin diving (without heavy
breathing apparatus), but not for scuba diving. If the watch is
exposed to salt water, rinse it in fresh water and then wipe it
thoroughly dry.
Do not press any buttons or turn the crown when the watch is wet.
Non-water resistant: Care should be taken not to get your
watch wet as water may damage the movement.
•Have your Pulsar watch checked by a PULSAR DEALER periodi-
cally to be sure that the case, buttons, crown, gasket, crystal
seal and push pins remain intact.
