Compass Data Setting

- Before setting the hemisphere and longitude of your place, check that the current time of your place is set correctly in the time/calendar display. (Please note that if the "ON" mark for the daylight saving time is set, the directions of the sun and moon are calculated inclusive of the one hour advanced from the regular time. If the "ON" mark is shown, therefore, check that the hour divils are advanced one hour.)

1. Depress button "A" to show the compass display.

2. Depress button "B" for 2 to 3 seconds to show the compass data setting display. The hemisphere mark starts flashing with the "LONG." (longitude) mark displayed.

3. Selection of the hemisphere, longitude and the digits to be adjusted (flashing) is made in the following order by depressing button °C".

Northern or Southern Hemisphere — East or west longitude

Longitude setting — Longitude setting (units digit)

1. Depress button "D" to set the hemisphere, longitude of your place and the flashing digits. The digits move quickly if the button is kept depressed. * To set the longitude of your place, refer to "TABLE OF LONGITUDES OF CITIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD" below.

2. After all the adjustments are completed, depress button "B" to return to the compass display.

Flashing dots appear in the display immediately after the button is depressed, to indicate that the watch is calculating the direction and the age of the moon.

* If the watch is left untouched in the compass data setting display with the digits flashing, it will automatically return to the compass display in 2 to 3 minutes.

How to Use the Rotating Compass Bezel

1. Depress button "C" to select the sun or moon compass depending on whether you can see the sun or the moon in the sky.

2. While keeping the dial level, point the direction mark at the 12 o'clock position to the direction of the sun or moon.

3. Turn the rotating bezel so that the direction name on the bezel corresponding to the direction name shown in the uppermost row of the display aligns with the direction mark.

4. The direction names on therotating compass hazel indicate the respective directions.

Notes: 1. The rotating compass bezel can be used only

when you have a view of the sun or the moon. 2. Unless the time/calendar and the daylight saving time are set properly, the direction of the sun or moon and the age of the moon will not be displayed correctly.

(After the bartery is replaced with a new one, all the data is cleared from memory and should be reset before using the compass function.)

1. Before using the compass, check that the proper hemisphere is selected.

2. In the areas between the tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, the sun may rise directly overhead, making it difficult to find the directions. In the areas between 28.63° of north latitude and 28.63° of south latitude, the moon may rise directly overhead, making it difficult to find the directions. In those areas, use the compass function together with a conventional magnetic compass.

3. Before using the moon or sun compass, be sure to set the longitude of your place. Otherwise, the directions and moon phase may not be displayed properly.

4. If you travel or move to a place at a different longitude, reset the longitude on your watch. Otherwise, the directions of the sun and moon and the moon phase will not be displayed properly.

■ LUMIBRITE WATCH

(dial, hands, buttons, case, bezel, straps, 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, for example, they will glow far 3 to 5 hours.
- Since LORUS LUMIRRITE 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.

■ LORUS LITE

LORUS LITE

While button "D" is kept depressed in the time/calendar, compass, stopwatch or alarm display, the electroluminescent light evenly illuminates the display for easy viewing in the dark.

Notes:

1. LORUS LITE watches work with one battery. When the electrical luminescent light begins to lose its luminance, this is an indication that the battery is depleted. We recommend that you change the battery before the watch itself stops.
2. If the electroluminescent light is used continuously for a long time, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

■ BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature lithium battery SEIKO CR2025, SONY CR2025 or Matsushils CR2025, which powers your watch should last approximately 2 years. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than 2 years.

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.

Notes:

1. If the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds a day, the confirmation sound more than 50 times a day, the distress signal for more than 15 seconds a day, the illuminating light 5 times a day and/or the stopwatch for 10 hours a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.
2. After the battery is replaced with a new one, because to depress burrows "A", "B", "C" and "D" at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds. The display becomes blank, and when the buttons are released, the time/calendar of "A 12:00:SA 1-1" is displayed. Then, set the desired, time/calendar, compass data and alarm time. (See "HOW TO SET THE TIME/CALENDAR AND DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME", "Compass Data Setting" and "HOW TO SET THE ALARM".)
