BATTERY CHANGE
5 YearsThe miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately 5 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. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR927SW battery.
* If the display mode is changed more than once, the stopwatch is used for longer than 1 hour, and the alarm sounds for 20 seconds per day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.
Battery life indicator◆ When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at two-second intervals instead of normal one-second intervals. In that case, have the battery replaced with a newone as soon as possible.* The watch remains accurate while the small second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
- 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.
