C. FUNCTIONS OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH
If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning
function will operate and the display changes, as
below.
Insufficient Charge Warning Function
The second hand changes to a two
second interval movement to
indicate insufficient recharging.
Even in such a case, the watch keeps
the correct time, but about a day after
the two second interval movement
begins, the watch will stop.
After exposing the watch to light,
recharging takes place and the watch
returns to one second interval movement.
Quick Start Function
The watch will stop if it is completely discharged.
It will operate within 10 seconds or so, after it is
exposed to light.
(However, the time to start may vary according to
the brightness of the light.)
Time Setting Warning Function
If the watch stops, subsequent
exposure to light allows the ‘quick
start’ function to start again, and
the second hand moves with a
hitch to indicate that the time is
incorrect.
In this case, quickly recharge the
watch and reset the time.
otherwise hitch movement will
continue.
Overcharge Prevention Function
You can recharge without worry
Once the secondary battery is fully charged, the
overcharging prevention feature comes into
operation and prevents overcharging.
D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING
Notes on use
Take care to charge your watch during use.
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch
can easily become insufficiently charged because it
is hidden and not exposed to light.
• When you take the watch off, place it in as bright a
place as possible, and it will always continue to
run properly.
Notes on recharging
• Avoid recharging at high temperatures (over about
60
C/140
F), otherwise the watch will be damaged
during recharging.
(eg) Charging the watch near a light source that
easily becomes hot, such as an incandescent
lamp or a halogen lamp.
Charging in a place that easily becomes hot
such as a dashboard.
When you charge the watch by an incandescent
lamp, take a distance about 50cm from the light
source to prevent extremely high temperature.
E. REPLACING THE SECONDARY BATTERY
Unlike ordinary batteries, the secondary battery
used in this watch doesn’t have to be
periodically replaced due to repeated charging
and discharging.
CAUTION
Never use another battery different from the
secondary battery used in this watch.
The watch structure is so designed that a different
kind of battery other than that specified cannot be
used to operate it. In case a different battery such
as a silver battery is used by some chance, there is
a danger that it will be overcharged to burst, causing
damage to the watch and even the human body.
