How to charge and start the watch
■
Charging the watch
When you start the watch or when the energy remaining in the secondary battery is very low, charge it
sufficiently by exposing the
watch to light.
-It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch sufficiently, especially in the case of initial charging.
■
Caution
When charging the watch, do not place it too close to fluorescent lamp or other light sources as the watch temperature will become
extremely high, causing damage to the parts inside the watch.
■
T
o prevent energy depletion
•
Avoid covering the watch face with your clothing while wearing it.
•
When the watch is not in use, leave it in a brightly lit place for as long as possible.
•
Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50
℃

Guidelines for c
harging time
The below table provides only general guidelines.
Condition A : Time required
for full charge
Condition B : Time required
for steady operation
Condition
C : Time required for 1 day's charge
Even if the watch is not charged for the time specified in the column, the second hand may temporarily move at one-second
intervals. But it will soon resume moving at two-second intervals; therefore, charge the watch for more than the specified period.

Features of the solar watch
This watch is a solar-powered watch containing a solar cell underneath the dial to convert any form of light into "electrical energy" and
store the power in a secondary battery.
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this watch does not use a silver oxide battery, thus eliminating the need for battery replacement.
■
Running time
Expected running time from full charge to stoppage will be around 4 months.
◆
Power depletion warning function
When the energy stored in the secondary battery is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at two-second
interval
s
instead of the normal one-second interval
s
.
In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise,
the watch may stop operating in about 1 day.
