Solar Charging

This watch runs on power supplied from a rechargeable (secondary) battery that is charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is integrated into the face of the watch, and power is generated whenever the face is exposed to light.

●

Charging the Watch

When you are not wearing the watch, put it in a location where it is exposed to bright light.

While you are wearing the watch, make sure that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power generation efficiency is reduced even when the face of the watch is blocked only partially.

Important!

●

Depending on light intensity and local conditions, the watch may become hot to the touch when exposed to light for charging. Take care to avoid burn injury after charging. Also, avoid charging the watch under hightemperature conditions like the ones described below.

ー

On the dashboard of a vehicle

parked in the sun

ー

Near an incandescent light bulb or

other source of heat

ー

Under direct sunlight or in other hot

areas for long periods

●

Checking the Charge Level

In the Timekeeping Mode, the current charge level is indicated by the mode hand.

Good (high charge)

Good (medium charge)

Low Battery

●

Remaining Charge and Dead Battery

You can determine if the charge level is low by checking the hand movement. Functions become disabled as battery power goes low.

Important!

●

Should the battery go low or go dead, expose the face (solar panel) to light as soon as possible.

Note

●

Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the [CHARGE] indicator to appear and the second hand to rotate counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.

●
