HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
• The stopwatch can measure up to 23 hours,
59 minutes and 59 seconds in 1/ 100 second
increments for the first hour and in 1 second
increments thereafter.
* Even if the STOPWATCH mode is changed
to another while the measurement is in progress,
it continues counting properly. After the
stopwatch is used, however, be sure to reset
it as the battery energy is consumed enormously
to shorten the battery life.

■ 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
B
Notes:
1. When the light begins to lose its luminance,
this is an indication that the battery for the
digital display is depleted. We recommend
that you change the battery before the watch
itself stops.
2. If the light is used continuously for a long time,
the battery life may be less than the specified
period.
• Press button “B” in any mode. The electroluminescent
light evenly illuminates the display for 3 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 batteries SEIKO SR626SW,
MAXELL SR626SW, SONY SR626SW, Matsushita
SR626SW or EVEREADY 377 for analogue display
and SEIKO SR41W, MAXELL SR41W, SONY SR41W
or EVEREADY 392 for digital display,which power
your watch should last approximately 2 years. However,
because they are inserted at the factory, the actual
life of the batteries once in your possession may
be less than the specified period. Be sure to replace
the batteries to prevent any possible malfunction
as soon as they run down. To replace the batteries,
we recommend taking the watch to a local watch
repair shop.
Notes:
1. If the alarm is used for more than 10 seconds a
day and/or the illuminating light more than
once (for 3 seconds) a day, the battery life may
be less than the specified period.
2. If either of the two batteries runs down, we
recommend that you replace both of the batteries.

* If your watch is 200 M/20 BAR, 100 M/10
BAR or 50 M/5 BAR water resistant, it is so
indicated on the dial/case back.
• Do not operate the crown and buttons when the
watch is wet.
• If the watch is exposed to salt water, rinse it in
fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly dry.
Caution:
Leather straps are not water resistant except so
indicated, even if the watch head is water resistant.
• ALLERGIC REACTION
Because the case and band touch the skin directly,
it is important to clean them regularly. If not,
shirt sleeves may be stained and those with
delicate skin may develop a rash. Please wear
the watch with some play to avoid any possible
allergic reaction. If you develop a rash on your
wrist, stop wearing and consult a physician.
• MAGNETISM
Your watch will not be affected by magnetism
generated by household electric appliances.
• SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS
Your watch may be worn for normal sports ac-
tivities, but be careful not to drop it or hit it on
hard surfaces.
• TEMPERATURE
Your watch is preadjusted so that constant accuracy
may be insured at normal temperature.
When your LORUS watch requires repair or
servicing, please see the enclosed WARRANTY/
GUARANTEE.
