LUMIBRITE
TM
LumiBrite is a newly developed luminous paint that is completely harmless to human
beings and the natural environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive
substances.
LumiBrite absorbs the energy of sunlight or artificial light in a short time and stores it to
emit light in the dark. For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for
approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.
Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of
the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also
differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch
is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
When you make a dive in dark water, LumiBrite may not emit light unless it has absorbed
and stored light sufficiently
Before diving, therefore, be sure to expose the watch to light under the conditions
specified above, so that it fully absorbs and stores light energy. Otherwise, use the
watch together with an underwater flashlight.

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET
To prevent possible rusting
of the case and bracelet
caused by dust, moisture and
perspiration, wipe them
periodically with a soft dry
cloth.
MAGNETISM
N
S
The watch will be adversely
affected by strong magnetism.
Keep it away from close
contact with magnetic objects.
PERIODIC CHECK
It is recommended that the
watch be checked once every
2 to 3 years. Have your watch
checked by an AUTHORIZED
PULSAR DEALER or SERVICE
CENTER to ensure that the case, crown,
gasket and crystal seal remain intact.
PRECAUTION REGARDING
CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM
If your watch has a protective
film and/or a sticker on the case
back, be sure to peel them off
before using your watch.
Be careful not to expose the
watch to solvents, mercury,
cosmetic spray, detergents,
adhesives or paints.
Otherwise, the case,
CHEMICALS
SHOCKS & VIBRATION
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.
bracelet, etc. may become discolored,
deteriorated or damaged.
