CHANGING BATTERY IN ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCH

Because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual service life once in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery expires, make sure to replace it as soon as possible to prevent any malfunction. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHOR- IZED SEIKO DEALER and request they only use a genuine SEIKO battery, © Battery icator If your analogue quartz watch has a second hand, the battery needs to be replaced when you see the second hand moving in two-second increments instead of the normal one-second increments. (Some calibres do not have this function.) The watch will, however, remain accurate while the second hand is moving in two-second increments. LOSS/GAIN OF THE ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCH Loss/gain (monthly rate) is less than 15 seconds (20 seconds for some calibres) in the normal temperature range (5°C - 35°C or 41°F - 95°F).

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH Im WATER RESISTANCE © Non-water resistance I WATER RESISTANT" is not insoñbed on the case back, your watch isnotwater resistant, and care should be taken not o get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER. © Water resistance [3 bar) If “WATER RESISTANT" is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for wearing while swimming or diving, © Water resistance (5 bar)*

ISWATER RESISTANT 5 BAR"

(Env) is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manu- factured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for wearing while swimming, yachting and taking a shower. © Water resistance {10 bar/15 bar/20 bar)* H'WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR", “WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR" or “WATER RESISTANT 20 BAR" is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 10 bar/15 bar/20 bar, respectively, and is suitable for wearing while taking a bath or shallow diving, but not for scuba diving. We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Divers watch while scuba diving, Before using a water resistant 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar waich in water, make sure the croun is pushed in completely. Do not operate the croun when the watch is wet or in water. Ifused in sea water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely. When taking a shower while wearing a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a bath while wearing à water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, make sure to observe the following: + Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo. If the watch is left in warm water, à light time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returs to normal temperature NOTE. Pressure in bar is a test pressure and shouid not be considered as corresponding t an actual diving depih since swimming movement tend t increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken when wearng and diving into water.

È Your watch works with stable l- accuracy in a temperature range of 5°C and 85°C (41°F and 95°F). Temperatures over 60°C or 140°F (50°C or 122°F for some calibres) may cause battery leakage or shorten the battery life. Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below -10°C or +14°F (-5°C or +23°F for some calibres) for a long time since the cold may cause a slight time loss or gain. However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. 1m SHOCKS & VIBRATION General light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage

1m MAGNETISM The watch will be adversely affected by Strong magnetism. Keep the watch away from close contact with magnetic objects. (In the case of a quartz watch, normal accuracy will return if the watch is moved away from the magnetic field.)
