* Charging time refers to the amount of time during which the watch is continuously
exposed to light.

6. Handling Precautions
<Try to Keep the Watch Charged at All Times>
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently
charged as a result of the watch being covered and not being exposed to light. The
watch will continue to run properly if it is placed in as bright a location as possible
even when not being worn.
Charging Precautions
· Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during recharging can damage the
watch. Avoid recharging in locations that can reach high temperatures (about
60°C /140°F or higher).
Examples: · Charging by placing the watch in close proximity to a light source
that easily becomes hot such as an incandescent lamp or halogen
lamp.
· Charging the watch in a location that can easily become hot such as
on an automobile dashboard
