NOTES ON USING THE WATCH
DATE SETTING
● Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Otherwise, the date may not change properly. If
it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the
date and then reset the correct time.
TIME SETTING
● The 24-hour hand moves correspondingly with the hour hand. When setting the hour hand, check the 24-
hour hand to see that AM/PM is correctly set.
● When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact time.
STOPWATCH
● When the stopwatch has been reset and button A is pressed before the STOPWATCH hands reach “0”
position, the stopwatch starts counting time as button A is pressed.
● Note on crown operation while the stopwatch is in use:
Even if the crown is pulled out to the first click, the stopwatch continues measuring. However, if it is pulled
out to the second click, the STOPWATCH hands are reset to “0” position.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
● To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting or for adjusting the
STOPWATCH hand position.
● To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.

BATTERY CHANGE
The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately
2
Years
2 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 stopwatch is used to measure up to 30 minutes more than twice a day, the
battery life may be less than the specified period.
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.
9
CAUTION
● 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.
