If the time setting is not correct...
Normally, you should never need to adjust the time setting of the watch as long as it is
able to receive a time calibration signal. If signal reception is impossible for some reason,
use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of
the hands, and make adjustments as required.

Charging Precautions
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere
else where the watch may become very hot.
•
On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun
•
Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of
heat
•
In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
Depending on the light source you are using, the
case of the watch may become quite hot during
charging. Take care to guard against burn injury
after charging.
❚
To charge the battery
Point the solar cell (face) of the watch at a light source to charge
the battery.
•
Remember that even a partial blockage of the solar cell reduces
charging efficiency.
Example: Positioning the watch

Note that the above charging times are for reference only. Actual
charging time depends on a variety of environmental factors.
The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using or storing
the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve for long periods as you are
wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable battery to run down.
•
A low battery can cause timekeeping to stop, and can also cause time and alarm settings to be lost.
•
Face illumination or alarm operation can cause hand movement to stop due to the sudden temporary drop in battery power. This does not
indicate malfunction, and normal operation will resume when the watch is exposed to light. Though hand movement stops, timekeeping
continues internally, and the hands will be adjusted to the correct setting when normal operation returns.

Checking the Battery Level
Low battery power is indicated when the the second hand starts to jump at two-second intervals.

•
Even after the battery drops to the level that timekeeping becomes disabled, you will be able to resume normal operation by charging the
battery.
•
After timekeeping becomes disabled, the hands will move to the current time after the battery is recharged sufficiently.
