˙NOTES ON THE BATTERIES [Battery for the stopwatch] BATTERY LIFE A new normal battery will last approximately three years. ˎIf the timer is used more than 10 times a day, the battery life may be less than ɹthe specified period.
ˎThe battery in your watch may run down in less than the specified period ɹafter the date of
purchase, as it is a monitor battery inserted at the factory ɹto check the functions and performance of the watch. ˎThe battery in your watch will therefore be replaced with a new one only at ɹcost even if it runs down within the guarantee period. BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR When flashing "ɹ

" mark appears in the upper left of the display, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in 2 to 3 days. We suggest that you have the battery replaced by a retailer from whom your watch was purchased or a SEIKO dealer. ˎEven though the flashing "ɹ

" mark is displayed, time accuracy is not ɹaffected.
BATTERY CHANGE ઒
When replacing the battery, be sure to take your watch to the retailer from whom your watch was purchased or an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER , and specify the " SEIKO genuine SB battery ". If an old battery is kept inside the watch for a long time, electrolyte leakage may occur and a malfunction may be caused. Be sure to replace the battery as soon as it runs down to prevent any possible malfunction. ˎWhen a battery is taken out of a watch, it must be kept at a ɹplace beyond the reach of an infant. In case it is swallowed ɹby an infant, consult a doctor immediately.
˙CARE OF YOUR STOPWATCH WATER RESISTANT ANTI-SHOCK ANTI-MAGNETIC TEMPERATURE Your watch is designed to work with stable accuracy between normal temperature range of 5°C and 35°C . Being equipped with the number entry and other keys as used in calculators, your watch is not water resistant according to the water resistance standard for watches. It can withstand, however, the accidental contact with splashes of water or rain. If the watch is wet, wipe it thoroughly dry with a soft dry cloth or the like. Light activities will not affect your
watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this way cause damage. Magnetism will not affect the watch ˎ
As a small amount of moisture is included inside the stopwatch , the inner surface of the glass may be temporarily blurred if the atmospheric temperature is lower than that inside the stopwatch . This does not adversely affect it . However , if the blur persists for a long time, we suggest that you have the stopwatch checked by the retailer from whom it was purchased. Do not leave your watch in direct sunlight or very high temperatures for a long time. • The display may become black, but this condition will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature . Do not leave the watch in a very low temperature, as this may cause : 1) A slight time loss or gain. 2) The change of digits to become slow (with accuracy remaining normal.) The adove conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. ˎ
If the watch is left in temperatures over 60ˆ
or below-10ˆ
for a long time,the watch may
stop operating, battery leakage may be occurred, or the battery life may be shortened. CHEMICALS As plastic materials are used for the watch case, be careful not to expose the watch to solvents ( such as alcohol and gasoline), cosmetic spray, detergent, adhesives or paints, as the case, bracelet, etc. will be discolored, deteriorate or deform through the chemical action.

STATIC ELECTRICITY The IC (Integrated Circuit) used in your watch will be affected by static electricity, which may disturb the display. Keep your watch away from close contact with suchobjects as TV screens which emit strong static electricity. After about 7 years of use digital display panel will decrease in contrast, becoming difficult to read.

CHECK It is recommended that the stopwatch be checked every time the battery for the stopwatch is replaced with a new one or once every 2 to 3 years . We suggest that you have your watch checked by a SEIKO DEALER when the battery is replaced, for oil condition, battery electrolyte leakage or damage due to water or sweat. After checking the watch, adjustment or repair may be required. ˎ
Be sure to have the gasket and push-pin replaced with new ones by a SEIKO DEALER after the watch is adjusted or repaired. ˎ
