5. Characteristics of the Solar Powered Watch

When  the  watch  is  insufficiently  charged,  the  indication  will  be  changed  as  follows:

<When the watch stopped due to an insufficient charging>

Charge  the  watch  sufficiently,  as  indicated  in  “Guide  to  Charging  Time”.
At  this  time,  be  sure  to  charge  the  watch  with  sunlight  rather  than  under  fluorescent
light.

[Normal  indication]

The  watch  will  stop

due  to  an  insufficient

charging.

[Operation  stops]

The  second  hand

starts  moving  at  2-

second  intervals.

[Insufficient  charge  warning]

(Models  with  a  second  hand  only)

The  watch  has  been  insufficiently

charged  because  the  watch  face

has  not  received  sufficient  light.

The  insufficient  charge

warning  (a  2-second  interval

movement)  continues  for

more  than  7  days.

The  watch  has  been  insufficiently

charged  because  the  watch  face

has  not  received  sufficient  light.

A. Overcharging Prevention Function

No  matter  how  much  the  watch  is  charged,  it  will  not  affect  the  secondary  battery,
timekeeping,  functions  or  performance  of  the  watch.  When  the  secondary  battery
becomes  fully  charged  by  exposing  the  watch  face  to  light,  the  overcharging
prevention  function  is  automatically  activated  to  prevent  the  battery  from  being
charged  further.

B. Insufficient Charge Warning Function

(models with a second hand only)

The  second  hand’s  movement  changes  from  1-second
intervals  to  2-second  intervals  to  show  that  the  watch
is  insufficiently  charged.
The  watch  will  stop  due  to  insufficient  charging
about  7  days  after  starting  the  2-second  interval
movement  if  kept  in  a  place  with  no  light.
