■ 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 the light button is pressed and released in the time/calendar, stopwatch, alarm, dual time or timer display, the light illuminates the display in red, green and both colors for 5 seconds 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 2.5 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 20 seconds a day and/or the illuminating light for more than 5 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.
