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 CR2025 battery. * The battery life may be less than 2 years if the alarm is used for more than 20 seconds a day and/or the illuminating light more than 3 times a day. q Battery life indicator When all the digits start flashing, have the battery replaced with a new one as soon as possible. 17 English q Necessary procedure after battery change After the battery is replaced with a new one, or if an abnormal display (broken digits, etc. ) appears, follow the procedure below to reset the IC. Press and hold buttons A, B, C and D at the same time for 2 to 3 seconds. The display shown at right appears. * Before using the watch, set the time/calendar and alarm. WARNING q Do not remove the battery from the watch. q 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. CAUTION q Never short-circuit, heat or otherwise tamper with the battery, and never expose it to fire. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery. 18 TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH s WATER RESISTANCE Condition of use Indication on case back Degree of water resistance* Non-water resistant Accidental contact with water such as rain and splashes Swimming, Taking a bath yachting and and shallow diving taking a shower Scuba diving** and saturation diving English No indication WATER RESISTANT WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR WATER RESISTANT 10/15/20 BAR No No No No 3 bar Yes No No No 5 bar Yes Yes No No 10/15/20 bar Yes Yes Yes No 19 q Non-water resistant · If the watch becomes wet, have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER. q Water resistant 5/10/15/20 bar · Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water, rinse the 5 bar WR watch in fresh water and dry it completely. [. . . ] · When taking a shower with a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a 10/15/20 bar WR bath with a water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following: * Do not operate the buttons when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo. * If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused. This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. * Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a given depth. ** We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver's Watch for scuba diving. English s TEMPERATURES Your watch works with stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5°C and 35°C (41°F -10°C and 95°F). [. . . ]
