How long does the battery last and what type does it use?

The watch uses a lithium CR2025 battery with an expected life of about 5 years. Actual life may be shorter if the alarm, light, or timer are used frequently. Replace the battery at a watch repair shop.

Is the watch water resistant?

Water resistance depends on the specific watch model. Check the dial or case back for an indication. If there is no indication, the watch is not water resistant and should only be used for everyday wear without exposure to water.

What is LumiBrite?

LumiBrite is a light-absorbing and storing material on compatible Lorus watches. It glows in the dark after being exposed to light. A full charge (e.g., 10 minutes under 500 lux or 2 minutes of direct sunlight) allows it to glow for hours. The brightness gradually fades over time.

How does the illuminating light work?

Press button D while in the time/calendar or dual time display to activate the backlight, which illuminates the display for easy reading in the dark.

What care and precautions should I follow?

Clean the watch regularly to avoid staining and rashes. Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetism, hard shocks, or extreme temperatures. For water resistance, do not operate buttons when wet, and rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure. Remove the battery if the watch is not used for a long time.

■ LUMIBRITE WATCH

(dial, hands, buttons, case, bezel, strap, etc.)

☆ If your watch is a LORUS LUMIBRITE watch, it has following features.

LORUS LUMIBRITE watches absorb and store light energy from natural and artificial light sources and emit light in the dark. They are made of environmentally friendly material, and therefore, are harmless to human beings and the environment.

• With a full charge, LORUS LUMIBRITE watches glow in the dark hours longer than conventional luminous watches of this type. If exposed to a light of more than 500 lux (i.e., the brightness of a typical office) for approximately 10 minutes, or direct sunlight for 2 minutes, they will glow for hours.
• Since LORUS LUMIBRITE watches emit the light they store, the brightness will decrease gradually over time. The length of time they will glow may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of and distance from the light source used to charge the watch.

■ILLUMINATING LIGHT

When button "D" is pressed in the time/calendar or dual time display, the light illuminates the display for easy viewing in the dark.

■ ViViDiGi

ViViDiGi is a new type of liquid crystal panel that makes possible various colors and high contrast.

• Excellent light reflection and transmission make the display bright and clear.
- Various color options are available.
- Either the whole panel or the displayed data only can be illuminated.
* Features vary in different models.

■ BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature lithium battery PANASONIC CR2025, which powers your watch should last approximately 5 years. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than the specified period. Be sure to replace the battery to prevent any possible malfunction as soon as it runs down. To replace the battery, we recommend taking the watch to a local watch repair shop.

Note: If the alarm is used for more than 3 seconds a day, the illuminating light for more than 4 seconds a day and/or the timer warning sound for more than 10 seconds a week, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

■ CARE OF YOUR LORUS WATCH
