USER MANUAL MAP METERMILE MARKER SEIKO

The map meter/mile marker function measures the real distance of a route on a map by tracing the route with the wheel that drives the dial ring. English © Models with the map meter function have à dial ring with a 1:50000-map meter scale with kilometer readout. © Models with the mile marker function have à dial ring with a 1:62500-mile marker scale with mile readout.

1. Unlock the driving wheel by turning the guard clockwise until it stops.

2. Turn the driving wheel gentiy so that “0 mile” on the dial ring aligns with “ 4" at

IHow to read the map meter scale (For a model with the map meter function)] This watch is designed to measure the real distance by using a map of a scale 1/50,000 with kilometer readout. © When using a map on a scale of 1/50,000: The figure on the scale indicated by “ 4” on the dial corresponds to the real distance of the route traced by the driving wheel Ex.) _If“4" points to “2” on the map meter scale the real distance of the route traced is “2 km." © When using a map on a scale other than the above: Divide the scale of the map by the scale of the watch (50,000). Multiply this by the distance indicated by 4“ on the map meter scale. Ex.1) Ifthe map used is drawn on a scale of 1/20,000 and “4 “ points to “2” on the map marker scale, the real distance of the route traced is: (20,000 / 50,000) x 2 = 0.8 km ts to “6” on the Ex.2) Ifthe map used is drawn on a scale of 1/150,000 and “4 * pi map marker scale, the real distance of the route traced is: (150,000 / 50,000) x 6 = 18 km Page 6-7 IHow to read the mile marker scale (For a model with the mile marker function)] This watch is designed to measure the real distance by using a map of a scale 1/62,500 with mile readout. © When using a map on a scale of 1/62,500: The figure on the scale indicated by “q ” on the dial corresponds to the real distance of the route traced by the driving wheel Ex} If“4 ” points to “2” on the mile marker scale, the real distance of the route traced is “2 miles." © When using a map on a scale other than the above: le the scale of the map by the scale of the watch (62,500).

Ex.1) Ifthe map used is drawn on a scale of 1/24,000 and “4 “ points to “2” on the mile marker scale, the real distance of the route traced (24,000 / 62,500) x 2 = 0.77 miles Ex.2) Ifthe map used is drawn on a scale of 1/150,000 and “ on the mile marker scale, the real distance of the route traced (150,000 / 62,500) x 6 = 14.4 miles points to “6” 05.48, 5:02PM Adobe PageMaker 6.5J/PPC ysifBug

PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE WATCH WITH THE MAP METER/MILE MARKER FUNCTION When measuring the distance, trace the route on the map slowly and securely with the driving wheel, taking care not to apply undue force onto the driving wheel. However, if you press the driving wheel down onto the map too lightiy, the wheel may slip off from the route. Do not use the map meter/mile marker function in sandy or dusty places. Your watch is designed to withstand up to 20 bar, however, do not use the map meter/mile marker function in water, as this may damage the driving wheel. When wearing the watch in water, therefore, make sure that the driving wheel is securely locked. In order to prevent putting a burden on the stem, keep the driving wheel locked while wearing the watch in normal use. The accuracy of indication of distance obtained by the map meter/mile marker function may be affected by the conditions where the measurement is made. Therefore, the indication should only be used as an approximate guide. When handling the watch, exercise caution with the serrated edge of the driving wheel, which is sharp and could potentially cause injuries. In order to prevent potential injury from the serrated edge of the driving wheel, keep the driving wheel locked while wearing the watch during normal use. Page 8-9
