■ 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.

■ LORUS LITE

While LITE button is kept depressed in the time/ calendar, stopwatch, timer 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 electroluminescent 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 Matsushita 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.

• Battery Life Indicator

When the battery nears its end, all the digits of the display start flashing. In that case, replace the battery as soon as possible.

Notes:

1. If the stopwatch is used for more than 10 hours a day, the timer for more than 10 hours a day, the alarm more than once a day, the illuminating light more than 3 times a day, the auto illumination more than 30 times a week and/or the confirmation sound more than 24 times a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

2. After the battery is replaced with a new one:

Depress made selector "A", buttons "B", "C" and "D" at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds.

Depress buttons "B", "C", "D" and LITE button at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds.

The display becomes blank, and when the mode selector and/or buttons are released, the time/calendar of "A 12:00 on 1-1 SU" is displayed. Then, set the desired time/calendar and alarm time. (See "HOW TO SET THE TIME/CALENDAR" and "HOW TO SET THE ALARM".)
