※ Overcharge prevention function
When the secondary battery is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function is automatically activated
to avoid further charging. There is no need to worry about damage caused by overcharging no matter how
much the secondary battery is charged in excess of the time required for fully charging the watch .
※ Refer to Standard charging time on P.109 to check the time required for fully charging the watch.
Power source
The battery used in this watch is a special secondary battery, which is totally
different from ordinary silver oxide batteries.
Unlike other disposable batteries such as dry-cell batteries or button cells, this secondary bat-
tery can be used over and over again by repeating the cycles of discharging and recharging.
However, for various reasons such as long-term use or usage conditions, the capacity
or recharging efficiency of the secondary battery may gradually deteriorate. Worn or
contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils may also shorten recharging cycles.
If the efficiency of the secondary battery decreases, have the watch repaired.
Remarks on replacing the secondary battery
・ Do not remove the secondary battery yourself.
・ Replacement of the secondary battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask a watch retailer for repair.
・ When replacing the secondary battery, make sure that the exclusive secondary battery for this watch is
used. Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting or ignition.

Notes on charging the watch
・ When charging the watch, do not place the watch in close proximity to an intense light source such as lighting equipment for
photography, spotlights or incandescent lights, as the watch may be excessively heated resulting in damage to its internal parts.
・When charging the watch by exposure to direct sunlight, avoid places that easily reach high
temperatures, such as a car dashboard.
・Always keep the watch temperature under 60℃.
Lumibrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and natural
environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substance.
Lumibrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of the
sunlight and lighting apparatus in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes,
Lumibrite can emit light for 3 to 5 hours.
Please note, however, that, as Lumibrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases
gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the
brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
※ The above comments are applied to the watch with Lumibrite.
※ In general, when coming from a place that is bright to a place that is dark, it takes human eyes some time
to adapt to the darkness making it difficult to see objects initially. (Dark adaptation)
※ LumiBrite is luminous paint that stores and emits light, which is harmless to human beings and the
environment, containing no toxic materials such as radioactive substances.

●Notes on guarantee and repair
・ Contact the retailer the watch was purchased from or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER for repair or overhaul.
・ Within the guarantee period, present the certificate of guarantee to receive repair services.
・ Guarantee coverage is provided in the certificate of guarantee. Read carefully and retain it.
・ For repair services after the guarantee period has expired, if the functions of the watch can
be restored by repair work, we will undertake repair services upon request and payment.
●Replacement parts
・ SEIKO makes it a policy to typically keep a stock of replacement parts for this watch for 7 years.
Replacement parts are those which are essential to maintaining the functional integrity of the watch.
・ Please keep in mind that if original parts are not available, they may be replaced with
substitutes whose outward appearance may differ from the originals.
●Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul)
・ Periodic inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) is recommended approximately once every 3 to 4 years
in order to maintain optimal performance of the watch for a long time. According to use conditions, the oil retaining condition of your
watch mechanical parts may deteriorate, abrasion of the parts due to contamination of oil may advance or delay the time significantly,
or the watch itself may stop. As the parts such as gasket may deteriorate, water-resistant performance may be impaired due to intru-
sion of perspiration and moisture. Please contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for inspection and adjustment by
disassembly and cleaning (overhaul). For replacement of parts, please specify SEIKO GENUINE PARTS. When asking for inspection
and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul), make sure that the gasket and push pin are also replaced with new ones.
・ When your watch is inspected and adjusted by disassembly and cleaning (overhauled),
the movement of your watch may be replaced.

How to conduct manual reception (Receiving a radio signal manually)
1.
Put the watch down.
Place the watch where it can
easily receive radio signals.
The antenna is embed-
ded at the 9 o clock
position of the watch.
Turning the antenna
toward the outside of a
window helps improve
radio signal reception.
→ To Improve Radio Signal Reception P.105
→ Environments in which it is Difficult to
Receive a Radio Signal P.106
※ This watch is unable to receive radio
signals outside a reception range.
→ Radio Signal Reception Range Indication P.99
2.
Press and hold Button A until the second hand
moves to the 0-second position (for three seconds).
After the second hand moves to the 0-second position
and stops, the watch will start to receive radio signals.
Button A
2.
Press and
hold for 3
seconds.
※ If the time zone is set to a region other than Japan, China, the
