TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

• As you can see from the previous page, SEIKO water-resistant watches are de­signed and manufactured to withstand accidental contact with water such as splashes or rain but not swimming or diving. Do not depress any buttons and do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
• If your watch is a SPORTS 100, it is designed and manufactured for skin diving but it is not suitable for scuba diving. You can depress any buttons but do not operate the crown when the watch is wet. We recommend that you wear the SE I KO Diver’s Watch for scuba diving.
• If the watch is exposed to water, rinse it in fresh water and then wipe it thoroughly dry.
• Have your SEIKO watch checked periodically by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER to be sure that the case, buttons, crown, gasket and crystal seal remain intact.

BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately three years for Maxell SR926W or SEIKO TR926W. However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than the specified period. The battery needs to be replaced when you see all the digits in the digital display flashing. However, the watch will remain accurate while all the digits are flashing. When replacing the battery, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER,

Note: If use of the light is more frequent than 5 times a day and the alarm is more than 10 seconds a day, the battery life may be less than the speci­fied period.
