Warning!

Do not use this watch while scuba diving (aqualung).

•• This watch is not a diving watch. Improper use of this watch can lead to serious accident.

Battery

Whenever removing the button type battery, take care to ensure that the battery is not swallowed accidentally.

Special care is required where young children are present.

Keep batteries out of the reach of small children. Should a battery ever be swallowed accidentally, contact a physician immediately.

4

Caution!

User Maintenance

A dirty or rusty case or band can soil the sleeve of your clothing. Be sure to keep the case and band clean at all times. Rust tends to form easily after the watch is exposed to seawater and then left without cleaning.

5

Caution!

Skin Irritation

Since the watch and the band come into direct contact with the skin, the following conditions may cause irritation of the skin.

1.When a wearer is allergic to metal or leather

2.When the watch or band is rusty dirty, sweaty, etc.

3.When the wearer is in poor physical condition

•• Tightening the band too tightly can cause you to sweat and make it difficult for air to pass under the band, which can lead to skin irritation. Do not over-tighten the band.

•• The bacterial and odor resistant band suppresses the formation of organisms and bacteria due to sweat, and related odors. It does not protect against skin rash.

•• Should you ever notice any abnormality, immediately stop using the watch and consult a physician.

6

Caution!

Do not disassemble

Never try to disassemble the watch. Doing so creates the risk of personal injury and malfunction of the watch.

7

Caution!

Use of the Watch

To avoid unexpected accidents, always check around you to ensure you are in a safe place before looking at the display of the watch. Looking at the watch while running or jogging on the open road, while riding a bicycle, or operating a motor vehicle can lead to accidents. Take care to avoid running into others.

Take care to avoid breaking your fingernails when fastening and unfastening the band. Particular care is required by people with long fingernails.

To avoid unexpected injury or skin irritation due to allergic reaction, do not wear the watch while sleeping.

8

Caution!

Use of the Watch

When picking up or otherwise coming into contact with a child, remove the watch from your wrist to avoid injury to the child or causing irritation of the child’s skin.

9

Before using the watch...

Expose the watch to light.

Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Long-term storage of the watch can cause power to run low, so be sure to expose the watch to light before using it for the first time. See page 16 for more information.

Low Battery Alert

When rechargeable battery power is low, the second hand of the watch will jump at 2-second intervals in the Timekeeping Mode to let you know that charging is required. See page 18 for more information.

Power Saving

Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically, which stops movement of the analog hands in order to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark.

The watch will exit the sleep state if you expose it to light or perform any button operation.

•• Though the hands are stopped, the watch continues to keep time internally.

•• Note that the watch also may enter the sleep state if its face is blocked from light by your sleeve.

How the sleep state works

Sleep Level 1

Sleep Level 1 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for about one hour any time between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. At this time, watch functions will operate as described below.

•• The second hand will stop at its current position.

•• The hour and minute hands, and the date indicator will continue to operate normally.

•• Auto Receive will be disabled.

Sleep Level 2

Sleep Level 2 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark while in Sleep Level 1 for six or seven days. At this time, watch functions will operate as described below.

•• The hour and minute hands will stop at their current positions.

•• World Time timekeeping will stop at the point the current time in the Timekeeping Mode reached 0:00.

•• Auto Receive will be disabled.

•• Date display will continue to operate normally.

Solar Charging

Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is stored by a rechargeable battery.

To ensure stable operation, make sure that the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

•• Whenever you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, position it so the face (solar cell) is pointed in the direction of a source of bright light.

3OLARLCELL ,IGHT

Leave the watch under fluorescent lighting, near a window, etc.

•• The solar cell is located in the watch’s face. When wearing the watch, try to keep your clothing from blocking its face.

Charging efficiency is reduced significantly even if the face of the watch is covered only partially by your sleeve.

•• In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

Depending on the light source you are using, the case of the watch may become quite hot when charging. Take care to guard against burn injury after charging.

Low Battery Alert

When rechargeable battery power is low, the second hand of the watch will jump at 2-second intervals in the Timekeeping Mode to let you know that charging is required.
