Day Indicator Movement

Day indicator
The day indication changes each day
between 10:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. the next day.
●
The day may not be indicated correctly while
the watch’s crown is pulled out.
Solar Charging
This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
●
Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.

Important!
●
Depending on light intensity and
local conditions, the watch may
become hot to the touch when
exposed to light for charging. Take
care to avoid burn injury after
charging. Also, avoid charging the
watch under high-temperature
conditions like the ones described
below.
—
On the dashboard of a vehicle
parked in the sun
—
Near an incandescent light bulb or
other source of heat
—
Under direct sunlight or in other
hot areas for long periods
●
Remaining Charge and Dead Battery
The charge level is indicated by watch hand
movement. Functions become disabled as
battery power goes low.
Important!
●
Should battery go low or go dead,
expose the face (solar panel) to light
as soon as possible.
Note
●
Exposing the watch face to light after
the battery goes dead will cause the
second hand to revolve
counterclockwise until it stops at
second 57. This indicates charging
has started.
Low Battery Power
The second hand jumps at two-second
intervals.
