TACHYMETER (for models with tachymeter scale on the dial)
To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle
Use the stopwatch to determine how many seconds it takes to go 1 km or 1 mile. Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average speed per hour.
STOPWATCH second hand: 40 seconds

Tachymeter scale: 90

90 (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile) = 90 km/h or mph
* 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
To measure the hourly rate of operation Ex. 1
Use the stopwatch to measure the time required to complete 1 job. Tachymeter scale indicated by STOPWATCH second hand gives the average number of jobs accomplished per hour.
STOPWATCH second hand: 20 seconds
180 (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job = 180 jobs/hour

Tachymeter scale: 180

Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds:
180 (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/hour
ADJUSTING THE HAND POSITION
q If STOPWATCH hands will not return to the 12 oclock position when the stopwatch is reset or when the battery is replaced with a new one, follow the procedure below.
Pull out to second click. Press repeatedly to reset STOPWATCH minute hand to the 12 oclock position. Press repeatedly to reset STOPWATCH second hand to the 12 oclock position. Push back in to normal position.
NOTES 1 Hands move quickly if the respective buttons are kept pressed. 2 After adjusting the hand position, set the main time.
RESETTING THE BUILT-IN IC
q In case any of the hands should move improperly, follow the procedure below to adjust the hand movement.
Pull out to second click. Press simultaneously.
NOTE Before using the watch again, be sure to adjust the position of STOPWATCH hands and set the main time and alarm.

BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR

q When the battery nears its end, the small second hand moves at two-second intervals instead of normal one-second intervals to indicate that the battery needs to be replaced with a new one. * If the alarm is used while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the watch may stop operating. Therefore, if you see the second hand moving at two-second intervals, replace the battery with a new one as soon as possible.

BATTERY CHANGE

The miniature battery which powers your watch should last approximately 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 SR927W battery.

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. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire. q The battery is not rechargeable. Never attempt to recharge it, as this may cause battery leakage or damage to the battery.
