Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

x On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight x Too close to an incandescent lamp x Under direct sunlight

E-12

Power Levels

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator in the lower digital dial.

Battery power indicator

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Important!

x Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digital displays to black out.

The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

x Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-19) and keep it in an area normally

exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.

x Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

Level

(L and

LOW)

(CHG)

x The flashing LOW message at Level 3 (L) tells you that battery power is very low,

and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

Whenever you are not wearing the watch, leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.

x Best charging

performance is achieved by exposing the watch to the strongest light available.

5 All functions disabled.

All functions enabled.

Illumination and beeper disabled. Except for Timekeeping Mode, all other modes disabled.

All functions and display indicators disabled except for timekeeping and display of CHG (charge) in the right digital dial. Hour and minute hands stopped at 12 o’clock.

When wearing the watch, make sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.

x The watch may enter a

sleep state (page E-19) if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

x At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory

defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.

x Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to

Level 2 (M).

x Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light

source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.

x The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults

whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.

Power Recovery Mode

x Performing multiple illumination, beeper, and/or high-speed hand movement

operation during a short period may cause all of the battery power indicators (H, M, and L) to start flashing in the lower digital dial. This indicates that the watch is in the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, and hourly time signal operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.

x Battery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power

indicators (H, M, L) will stop flashing. This indicates that the functions listed above are enabled again.

x If all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) are flashing and the CHG (charge)

message also is flashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch to bright light as soon as possible.

x Frequent flashing of all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) probably means

that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

x For details about the operating time and daily operating conditions, see the “Power

Supply” (page E-71) section of the Specifications.

Power Saving

When turned on, Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

x For information about enabling and disabling power saving, see “To turn Power

Saving on and off” (page E-65).

x There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”.

Elapsed Time in Dark Digital Dials Operation

60 to 70 minutes (display sleep) Blank

6 or 7 days (function sleep) Blank

Digital dials are off, but all functions are enabled.

Hour and minute hands stop at 12o’clock. All functions are disabled, but timekeeping is maintained.

x The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch

is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

x The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode or

Countdown Timer Mode.

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.

General Functions (All Modes)

The functions and operations described in this section can be used in all of the modes.

Auto Return Features

x The watch returns to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform

any button operation for two or three minutes in the Alarm Mode.

x If you leave the watch in a setting mode (with flashing digits) for two or three

minutes without performing any operation, the watch will exit the setting mode automatically.

Initial Screens

When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in the setting mode to scroll through data. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll operation scrolls through the data at high speed.

E-24

Configuring Home City Settings

There are two Home City settings: actually selecting the Home City, and selecting either standard time or daylight saving time (DST).

City code

x For details about city codes, see the “City Code Table” at the back of this

manual.

x Whenever you enter a setting mode, the analog hands will automatically move to

positions that allow easier viewing of the digital dials.

E-26

5. After the setting is the way you want, press A to return to the Timekeeping

Mode.

x The DST indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on. x Exiting a setting mode will normally cause the hands to return to regular

timekeeping automatically. However, if you manually move the hands (page E-61) and then enter a setting mode, they will not return to regular timekeeping automatically when you exit the setting mode. In this case, you will need to return the hands to their normal positions manually (page E-62).

Note

x After you specify a city code, the watch will use UTC* offsets in the World Time

Mode to calculate the current time for other time zones based on the current time in your Home City.

* Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping.

The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.

E-28

To configure Home City settings

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about

two seconds until ADJ appears in the right digital dial. When you release A, the city code and city name will scroll across the right digital dial. This is the setting mode.

x The watch will exit the setting mode automatically if

you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes.
