The hands will shift automatically
whenever you display a setting screen
while in the Timekeeping Mode,
Countdown Timer Mode, or Alarm

their normal timekeeping positions

However, if the hands were already
shifted before you displayed the
setting screen, they will remain shifted
when you exit the setting screen.
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
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.
ー
On the dashboard of a vehicle
parked in the sun
ー
Near an incandescent light bulb or
other source of heat
ー
Under direct sunlight or in other hot
areas for long periods

The display panel may become black
under very high temperatures. This is
temporary, and the display will return
to normal at lower temperatures.
