L U M I B R I T E WAT C H

✼

If your watch is a LORUS LUMIBRITE watch, it has following features.

LORUS LUMIBRITE watches absorb and store light energy from natural and artificial light sources and emit light in the dark. They are made of environmentally friendly material, and therefore, a r e h a r m l e s s t o h u m a n b e i n g s a n d t h e environment.

• With a full charge, LORUS LUMIBRITE watches glow in the dark hours longer than conventional luminous watches of this type. If exposed to a light of more than 500 lux (i.e., the brightness of a typical office) for approximately 10 minutes, or direct sunlight for 2 minutes, they will glow for hours.

• Since LORUS LUMIBRITE watches emit the light they store, the brightness will decrease gradually over time. The length of time they will glow may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of and distance from the light source used to charge the watch.

■ B AT T E R Y C H A N G E

The miniature lithium battery CR2032 for Cal.

YK35 and CR1620 for Cal. YK36, which powers your watch, should last approximately 2 years.

However, because it is inserted at the factory, the actual life of the battery once in your possession may be less than 2 years. Be sure to replace the battery to prevent any possible malfunction as soon as it runs down. To replace the battery, we recommend taking the watch to a local watch repair shop.
