English TIME 5 English LM LOC 6 10TMRCHR A CROWN BATTERY CHANGE 3 Years The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately 3 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 SR927W battery. * If the yacht timer is used more than 6 hours per week, the timer is used more than 15 minutes per day, the stopwatch is used more than 60 minutes per day and the alarm sounds more than 40 seconds per day, the battery life may be less than the specified period. 32 l Battery life indicator When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at twosecond 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. WARNING l Do not remove the battery from the watch. l 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. CAUTION l Never short-circuit, tamper with or heat the battery, and never expose it to fire. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire. l The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery. 33
