Cal. V182A
1) Connect the tester to the output terminal of the solar cell unit as shown in the illustration.
2) Place the solar cell unit at a distance of 5 cm under a fluorescent light of 15 to 20 watts, exposing the
solar cell side to the light, and then measure the output voltage.
<Measuring the output voltage for the solar cell unit alone>
The quick-start function can be checked only when the rechargeable battery voltage is less than 0.9V.
Before checking the function, therefore, be sure to measure the voltage.
(Refer to step 1 in “• Checking the recharging function”.)

After checking that the watch stops operating, place
the watch at a distance of 50cm under a fluorescent
light of 15 to 20 watts, exposing the dial side to the
light. Then, check if the second hand starts moving
at 2-second intervals within 10 seconds.
