u The watch operates while
charging electricity by
converting light received on
the dial to electrical energy.
It cannot properly operate
unless the remaining energy
is sufficient. Place or store
the watch in a location
receiving light etc., to
sufficiently charge electricity.

charge the watch by
exposing it to light.
• The time required for

the calibres. Check the
calibre of your watch
engraved on the back
cover.
• It is recommended that
the watch be charged for
as long as the charging

stable movement of the
watch.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
l
When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely
low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead of the
normal 1-second intervals. The watch remains accurate even while the second
hand is moving at 2-second intervals.
l
While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot
be activated.
l
If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch
is operating, the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch
hands will return to the “0” position.
l
When this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light.
Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in a few days. (For recharging the
watch, see “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”)
v
TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
•
When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by
clothing.
•
When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as
possible.
