TROUBLESHOOTING
Troubles Possible causes
The watch stops operating. The energy has been depleted.
The small second hand moves at
two-second intervals.
The energy is running short.
The stopped watch has been
charged for longer than the time
required for full charge, but the
second hand does not resume
one-second interval movement.
The light the watch has been exposed to was
too weak.
The built-in IC has fallen into an unstable
condition.
The watch temporarily gains or
loses time.
The watch has been left or worn in extremely
high or low temperatures.
The watch has been left close to an object
with a strong magnetic field.
You have dropped the watch, hit it against a hard
surface or worn it while playing active sports.
The watch was exposed to strong vibrations.
Solutions
If you often encounter this problem even though you wear the watch everyday, the
watch may not be exposed to sufficient light while you wear it. For example, the
watch may be covered by the cuff of clothing. Recharge the watch sufficiently by
exposing it to light.
The time required for charging will vary depending on the intensity of light.
Recharge the watch referring to "GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY."
Reset the watch by following the instructions in “IMPROPER FUNCTION."
Return the watch to a normal temperature so that it works accurately as usual, and
then reset the time. The watch has been adjusted so that it works accurately when
it is worn on your wrist under a normal temperature range between 5 ºC and 35 ºC.
Correct this condition by moving and keeping the watch away from the
magnetic source. If this action does not correct the condition, contact the
retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
Reset the time. If the watch does not return to its normal accuracy after
resetting the time, contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.
