BATTERY CHANGE
3
Years
The miniature battery which powers your watch
should last approximately
3 years
. However,
because the battery is inserted at the factory to
check the function and performance of the watch,
its actual life once in your possession may be less
than the specified period. When the battery
expires, be sure to replace it as soon as possible
to prevent any malfunction. It will be replaced at
cost. For battery replacement, we recommend
that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER
and request
SEIKO CR2032
battery.
* The battery life may be less than 3 years if the regular
alarm is used more than 10 seconds a day, the
illuminating light more than 10 seconds a day, and/or
the diving function more than 50 times a year, one
hour per dive.
Notes:
1. The log data stored in the dive log function is not erased when the
battery is replaced with a new one. It is possible, however, for the
stored log data to be inadvertently erased during the function checking
procedures after battery replacement. It is recommended that the log
data in memory be noted down in your log book before requesting a
battery change.
2. For battery replacement, take the watch to the retailer from whom it
was purchased. The work of replacing the battery is conducted at a
SEIKO SERVICE CENTER. For safety’s sake, the watch will also
undergo a strict check on its water resistant quality and depth
measurement function in addition to battery replacement. Therefore,
it will take approximately 2 weeks before the watch is returned to you.
3. After the battery is replaced with a new one, “meters (m) and
centigrade (
°
C)” are automatically set for the measurement units.
Before diving, therefore, set the measurement units as required. (See
“SELECTION OF MEASUREMENT UNITS”)
WARNING
●
Do not remove the battery from the watch.
●
If it is necessary to take out the battery, keep it out of
the reach of children. If a child swallows it, consult a
doctor immediately.
●
Never short-circuit, heat or otherwise tamper with
the battery, and never expose it to fire. The battery
may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
●
The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to
recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or
damage to the battery.
CAUTION
Battery life indicator
Battery mark
If the battery mark is shown on the display, the watch will
stop operating in about a week. Take the watch to the
retailer from whom it was purchased to replace the battery
with a new one.
• While the mark is
shown, the watch
cannot be used
for diving.
* While the battery mark is shown, the dive function will not start.
If the battery mark starts flashing, the battery is nearing its end.
Take the watch to the retailer from whom it was purchased
immediately for battery replacement.
