•
Performing illumination, or beeper operations during a
short period may cause
(recover) to appear on the
display.
After some time, battery power will recover and
(recover) will disappear, indicating that the above
functions are enabled again.
•
If
(recover) appears frequently, it probably means
that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in
bright light to allow it to charge.

Charging Precautions
Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving
the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery.
Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal
display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when
the watch returns to a lower temperature.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it
to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury.
The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following
conditions for long periods.
•
On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
•
Too close to an incandescent lamp
•
Under direct sunlight

Charging Guide
The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light
each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations.
•
For details about the battery operating time and daily operating conditions, see the
“Power Supply” section of the Specifications.
•
Stable operation is promoted by frequent exposure to light.

Reference
This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.
Stopwatch
•
You can use lap time measurement to time how long it takes to complete a specific
portion (such as a single lap) of a race.
•
You can use split time measurement to time how long it takes to get from the start to
a specific point in a race.
Memory Management
Each time you press
D
to start a new elapsed time or lap/split operation in the
Stopwatch Mode, the watch automatically creates a new “log” in its memory. The log
remains open for data storage until you permanently close it by pressing
A
to clear
the stopwatch to all zeros.
The watch has enough memory to hold up to 121 records. Each log title screen (start
date and time) and lap/split time uses up one record.
•
A log title screen identifies a single elapsed time operation, from the start up to the
point the stopwatch is reset to all zeros.
•
A lap/split time record is stored under a log title screen each time you perform a lap/
split operation.
Example 1
Single elapsed time measurement
Log title 120 lap records = 121 records
Example 2
Multiple elapsed time measurements
Measurement 1 log title 60 lap records = 61 records
Measurement 2 log title 59 lap records = 60 records
•
Use the Recall Mode to view stopwatch records.
•
If watch memory is already full when you perform a stopwatch button operation that
creates a new log, the oldest log in memory and all of its records are deleted
automatically to make room for the new log.
•
If you are adding records to the only log in memory and watch memory becomes
full, adding another record causes the oldest record in the log to be deleted
automatically to make room for the new record.
•
If you are adding records to a log when there are multiple logs in memory and watch
memory becomes full, adding another record causes the oldest log in memory and
all of its records to be deleted automatically to make room for new records.
How Stopwatch Data is Stored
The following table describes how data is stored when you perform the various button
operations described in “To measure times with the stopwatch”.

Button Operation Tone
The button operation tone sounds any time you press one
of the watch’s buttons. You can turn the button operation
tone on or off as desired.

Auto Return
•
If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes while a setting
screen (with a flashing setting) is on the display, the watch will exit the setting screen
automatically.
Scrolling
The
B
and
D
are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll through data
on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation
scrolls at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time Mode or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing
when you last exited the mode appears first.
Timekeeping
•
Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59
causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are
reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
•
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
•
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.
•
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is
calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city,
based on your Home City time setting.
World Time
•
The seconds count of the World Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the
Timekeeping Mode.
