CAL. 6A32
PERPETUAL CALENDAR
●Once set, the calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including
February of leap years up to February 28, 2031. After 2032, adjust the year manually
following the procedures in “HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR.”
●It indicates the year, month, and date.
Before using the watch:
●Because the calendar is preadjusted at the factory, you only need to set the
time and date, and the calendar will automatically update itself.
●Before using the watch, set the time and date correctly following the procedures
in “TIME/DATE SETTING.”

1. The date changes between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. while the watch is in operation or when advancing
the hands by turning the crown clockwise, and between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. when moving the
hands back by turning the crown counterclockwise. Therefore, note the following.
[AM/PM checking]
*When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
*When setting the time by advancing the hands, turn the hour hand past the 1 o’clock marker. If the date
advances, the time is set for the AM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the PM period.
*When setting the time by turning back the hands, turn the hour hand past the 9 o’clock marker. If the
date moves back, the time is set for the PM period. If it does not change, the time is set for the AM
period.
2. When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact time.

●Follow the procedures below to check the calendar, and if necessary, to adjust it.
●Do not check and adjust the calendar between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. If the calendar
is checked and adjusted between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., the date may not change
properly. In such case, first change the time to any time outside this period, and then
set the date. After that, move the hands back to the correct time.
●If the crown is pulled out to the second click while the numeral in the calendar frame
is advancing or moving back, the second hand may be misaligned from the 12 o’clock
position (initial position).
●The button and crown operation cannot be made while the numeral in the calendar
frame is advancing or moving back. Press the button or turn the crown after the
numeral stops.
●If the watch is left untouched for more than 2 or 3 minutes while checking or adjusting
the calendar, the watch will resume normal movement. In such a case, start again
from the beginning of the procedures in “HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE
CALENDAR.”
●Do not leave the crown at the first or second click when you use the watch, as this will
shorten the battery life.
HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR
3. If the calendar indication is not correct after setting the time and date, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
If the calendar indication is still not correct even though AM/PM is correctly set, the initial position of the
calendar may not be set correctly. In such a case, adjust the initial position of the calendar following the
procedures in "HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR."

HOWTOOPERATETHE SCREWLOCK TYPECROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)

●To screw in the crown:

BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery which powers your watch should last
approximately 4 years . However, because 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. For battery replacement, we recommend that
you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO
SR927SW(SB-AP) battery.
*If the calendar checking function is used frequently, the battery life may be less
than the specified period.

●Battery life indicator
When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal
one-second interval, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the watch will stop operating in a couple of days
*The time accuracy is not affected even if the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
*While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the date will not change. This is not a
malfunction.
●Checking and adjustment of the calendar after battery change
After the battery is replaced with a new one, be sure to check that the calendar is
correct. If the watch does not indicate the year, month and date correctly, adjust the
calendar. (See “HOW TO CHECK AND ADJUST THE CALENDAR.”)
WARNING
●Do not remove the battery from the watch.
●If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of the reach of children. If
a child swallows it, consult a doctor immediately.

English
CAUTION
●Never short-circuit, heat or otherwise tamper with the battery, and never
expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
●The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause
battery leakage or damage to the battery.
