Power Supply
This watch is equipped with a solar cell and a special rechargeable battery (secondary
battery) that is charged by the electrical power produced by the solar cell. The
illustration shown below shows how you should position the watch for charging.
Example:
Orient the watch so its face
is pointing at a light source.
•
The illustration shows how to position
a watch with a resin band.
•
Note that charging efficiency drops
when any part of the solar cell is
blocked by clothing, etc.
•
You should try to keep the watch
outside of your sleeve as much as
possible. Charging is reduced
significantly if the face is covered even
partially.
