* Some models may have a screw lock type crown. If your watch has a screw lock type crown, refer to “SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN”.

SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN

u Some models may have a screw-lock mechanism that can securely lock the crown by screw when they are not being operated. u Locking the crown will help to prevent any operational errors and enhance the water resistant quality of the watch. u It is necessary to unlock the screw lock type crown before operating it.

Once you have finished operating the crown, make sure to relock it.

l

How to use the screw lock type crown

Keep the crown securely locked unless you need to operate it.

[How to unlock the screw lock type crown]

Turn the crown counterclockwise.

The crown is unlocked and can be operated.

[How to lock the screw lock type crown]

Once you have finished operating the crown, turn it clockwise while gently pressing it in toward the watch body until it stops.

* When locking the crown, turn it slowly with care, ensuring that the screw is properly engaged. Be careful not to forcibly push it in, as doing so may damage the screw hole in the case.

Small second hand

1. When the stopwatch is or has been measuring, if the crown is pulled out to the second click, the stopwatch will continue the current measurement.

2. The 24-hour hand moves correspondingly with the hour hand.

3. The moment the date changes is midnight. When setting the hour hand, make sure to check that AM/PM is correctly set by using the 24 hour hand as an AM/PM indicator.

4. When setting the minute hand, first advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute.

SETTING THE DATE

l Before setting the date, be sure to set the time.

CROWN

Pull out to first click.

t

Turn clockwise until the desired date appears.

t

Push back in to normal position.

Date

1. Date setting should always be carried out after the time is correctly set.

2. Manual date adjustment is required on the first day after a month that has less than

31 days: February, April, June, September and November.

3. Do not set the date during any time between 9:00 P.M. and 3:00 A.M. Date setting during this time period may cause failure of date change on the following day.

1. You may feel that the buttons of the watch are harder to press compared with those of conventional watches. This is due to the special construction needed for the stopwatch function, and, therefore, is not a malfunction.

2. While the stopwatch is measuring, pressing button B will reset the stopwatch. Be careful not to press button B by mistake.

- The button cannot be pushed in.

TACHYMETER

(for models with tachymeter scale on the dial)

To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle

1 U s e t h e s t o p w a t c h t o determine how many seconds it takes to go 1 km or 1 mile.

Ex. 1

STOPWATCH second hand:

40 seconds

2 Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average speed per hour.

Tachymeter scale: "90"

“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile)

= 90 km/h or mph l Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds.

Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0.5 km or miles and STOPWATCH second hand indicates “90” on tachymeter scale:

"90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km/h or mph

"90" (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (km or mile) = 45 km/h or mph

11

12

To measure the hourly rate of operation

Ex. 1

1 Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete 1 job.

2 Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average number of jobs accomplished per hour.

STOPWATCH second hand:

20 seconds

Tachymeter scale: "180"

“180” (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job

= 180 jobs/hour

Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds:

"180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour

TELEMETER

(for models with telemeter scale on the dial)

l The telemeter can provide a rough indication of the distance to the source of light and sound.

l The telemeter indicates the distance from your location to an object that emits both light and sound. For example, it can indicate the distance to the place where lightning struck by measuring the time elapsed after you see a flash of lightning until you hear the sound.

l A flash of lightning reaches you almost immediately while the sound travels to you at a speed of 0.33 km/second. The distance to the source of the light and sound can be calculated on the basis of this difference.

l The telemeter scale is graduated so that the sound travels at a speed of 1 km in

3 seconds.*

*Under the condition of temperature of 20° C (68° F)

CAUTION

The telemeter provides only a rough indication of the distance to the place where lightning struck, and therefore, the indication cannot be used as the guideline to avoid the danger of lightning. It should also be noted that the speed of the sound differs depending on the temperature of the atmosphere where it travels.

13

HOW TO USE THE TELEMETER

Before beginning, check that the stopwatch has been reset.

START

(Flash of light)

1 Press button A to start the stopwatch as soon as you see the light.

STOP

(Crash of thunder)

2 W h e n y o u h e a r t h e sound, press button A to stop the stopwatch.

3 R e a d t h e t e l e m e t e r scale that the stopwatch second hand points to.

Approx. 3 km

14

* Please note that the stopwatch second hand moves in 1/5 second increments and does not

always point exactly to the graduations of the telemeter scale. The telemeter scale can be

used only when the measured time is less than 60 seconds.

BATTERY CHANGE

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 mal function. For battery replacement, we recommend that you contact an AU THORIZED SEIKO DEALER and request SEIKO SR936SW battery.

* If the stopwatch is used for more than 1 hour a day, the battery life may be less than the specified period.

* After the battery is replaced with a new one, set the time/calendar.

l

Battery life indicator

When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at twosecond intervals instead of normal one-second intervals. In that case, have the battery replaced with a new one as soon as possible.

* The watch remains accurate while the small second hand is moving at two-second intervals.

WARNING

l Do not remove the battery from the watch.

l 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

l 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.

l The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.
