HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
●
When you start the watch or when the energy in the rechargeable battery is
reduced to an extremely low level, charge it sufficiently by exposing the watch
to light.
●
Instant-start function:
When the watch is exposed to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than
1,000 lux), it will start operating immediately with the second hand moving at
2-second intervals.
1. Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial light.
• When the watch has stopped operating, the second hand will start moving at 2-second
intervals.
2. Keep the watch exposed to the light until the second hand moves at
1-second intervals.
3. When the watch is charged after it has completely stopped, set the date
and time before wearing the watch.
• See “GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY” .
Caution for charging
●
When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a photoflash
light, spotlight, incandescent light or other light sources as the watch
temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to the parts
inside the watch.
●
When exposing the watch to sunlight to charge it, do not leave it on the
dashboard of a car, etc. for a long time, as the watch temperature becomes
extremely high.
●
While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
exceed 0 °C.
CAUTION
NOTES:
1. When the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light,
the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals immediately, but the energy
stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If the watch is turned away
from the light, it may stop operating.
2. It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge
the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.
