User manual SEIKO ANALOG QUARTZ MECHA BASIC

[. . . ] 4206, 4207, 4217, 4S15 These watches can also be started by winding the crown. Note: If the watch is worn daily, SEIKO's automatic mechanism will wind the mainspring automatically through normal wrist movements. Note: When setting the minute hand of a quartz watch, advance it to a few minutes ahead of the time and then turn it back to the exact time. TIME/CALENDAR SETTING FOR MODELS WITH CALENDAR The date will change gradually between 9:00 P. M. (See note 1 on calendar setting. ) For some models, however, it will change instantly when the hands pass the 12 o'clock marker at midnight. [. . . ] The watch is so designed that the calendar changes once every 24 hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o'clock marker to determine whether the time is set for the A. M. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A. M. If it does not change, the time is set for the P. M. period. CHANGING BATTERY IN ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCH Because the battery is inserted at the factory to check the function and performance of the watch, its actual service life once in your possession may be less than the specified period. When the battery expires, make 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 they only use a genuine SEIKO battery. Battery life indicator If your analogue quartz watch has a second hand, the battery needs to be replaced when you see the second hand moving in two-second increments instead of the normal one-second increments. (Some calibres do not have this function. ) The watch will, however, remain accurate while the second hand is moving in two-second increments. 4. Pull out the crown to the second click, and advance the hour and minute hands until the desired date and day appears. * If your watch has three hands, pull out the crown when the second hand is pointing to 12 o'clock. 5. 6. Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction. Push the crown back in to the normal position. * If your watch has three hands, push the crown back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal for "00" seconds. Notes on calendar setting: 1 Do not change the calendar between 9:00 P. M. and 4:00 A. M, as it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside those hours, set the calendar and then reset the correct time. When the day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will temporarily appear. LOSS/GAIN OF THE ANALOGUE QUARTZ WATCH Loss/gain (monthly rate) is less than 15 seconds (20 seconds for some calibres) in the normal temperature range (5°C ~ 35°C or 41°F ~ 95°F). 9 2 8 TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH WATER RESISTANCE Non-water resistance If "WATER RESISTANT" is not inscribed on the case back, your watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken not to get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked by an AUTHORIZED SEIKO DEALER or SERVICE CENTER. Water resistance (3 bar) If "WATER RESISTANT" is inscribed on the case back, your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar, such as accidental contact with splashes of water or rain, but it is not designed for wearing while swimming or diving. 10 Water resistance (5 bar)* If "WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR" is inscribed on the case back, your 5 bar WR watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5 bar and is suitable for wearing while swimming, yachting and taking a shower. [. . . ] Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below ­10°C or +14°F (-5°C or +23°F for some calibres) for a long time since the cold may cause a slight time loss or gain. However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature. +60°C SHOCKS & VIBRATION General light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage. 11 MAGNETISM The watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism.
