When pushing the crown back in,
take care not to apply too much
force.
●
Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
After pulling out the crown, rotating it quickly
in succession in either direction will cause the
hands to move forward or back at high speed.
While the hands are moving forward at high
speed, quickly rotating the crown in
succession again will increase the speed even
further.
●
Stopping Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
Rotate the crown in the direction opposite that
of the ongoing operation or press any button.
Note
●
If you do not perform any operation
for about two minutes after pulling
out the crown, crown operations will
automatically become disabled. If
that happens, push the crown back
in and then pull it out again.

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.

watch under high-temperature
conditions like the ones described
below.

Should battery go low or go dead,
expose the face (solar panel) to light
as soon as possible.
