BATTERY CHANGE
Battery life : Approx. 5 years
Battery : SEIKO SR927SW
● If the stopwatch is used for more than 2 hours a day, the battery life may be less than
the specified period.
● As the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the
watch, its actual life once in your possession may be less than the specified period.
● When the battery expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any
malfunction.
● After the battery is replaced with a new one, set the time/calendar and adjust the
stopwatch hand position.

Years
●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 while the small second hand is moving at two-second
intervals.

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This
condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the
pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
