1. Features
This watch is a solar-powered watch that contains a solar cell in its face that
drives the watch by converting light energy into electrical energy. It is equipped
with features including a 24 hour display and chronograph function that allows
measurement of time in 1 second units up to 60 minutes.

2. Before Using
This watch is a solar-powered watch. Please fully charge the watch before
using by exposing it to light.
A secondary battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This
secondary battery is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or
other toxic substances. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for
about five months without additional charging.
<Proper Use of this Watch>
To use this watch comfortably, make sure to recharge it before it stops running
completely. Since there is no risk of overcharging (Overcharging Prevention
Feature), it is recommended that the watch be recharged everyday.

4. Functions Unique to Solar-Powered Watches
When the watch becomes
insufficiently charged, the
following warning features
will be activated to inform
the wearer that the watch
is insufficiently charged.

[Normal Time Display]
[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature]
The second hand switches from 1-second
interval movement to 2-second interval
movement
[Stopped]
All hands stop moving
If insufficiently
charged
If watch is continued to be
used without charging
The watch hands resume 2-second interval movement when the watch is charged by
exposing to light. However, the time is incorrect as a result of the watch having stopped
due to being insufficiently charged. Sufficiently charge the watch until it resumes 1second interval movement and reset the time before use.
If charged
[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature]
When the capacity of the secondary battery decreases as a result of light not
shining on the solar cell, the second hand switches from 1-second interval
movement to 2-second interval movement (insufficient charging warning
feature). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the
watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed after the second hand has
switched to 2-second interval movement. When this happens, charge the
watch by exposing it to light until the second hand returns to 1-second interval
movement.
Notes: • During chronograph
measurement, measurement
stops and the chronograph
second hand is reset to the 0
seconds position.
• The chronograph minute hand
stops at any arbitrary position.
Return it to the 0 minutes position
by pressing button (B).

[Quick Start Feature]
If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, the second
hand will begin 2-second interval movement and the watch will begin to run
about 10 seconds after the watch is exposed to light (approx. 500 lx). (The
time until the hands begin to move varies depending on the model.) Please
note, however, that the watch will stop again if the watch is blocked from the
light and is not sufficiently charged.

[When the Watch has Stopped due to Insufficient Charging]
When the capacity of the secondary battery decreases as a result of the solar
cell not being exposed to light, the watch will stop due to being insufficiently
charged. The Quick Start Feature will be activated and the hands will begin to
move if the solar cell is exposed to light. Sufficiently charge the watch by
exposing to light so that it returns to the normal time display (1-second interval
movement).
Note: • The time is incorrect when the watch has stopped as a result of being
insufficiently charged even if the watch starts to run. Reset the watch
to the correct time before using.
[Overcharging Prevention Feature]
The overcharging prevention feature is activated when the secondary battery is
fully charged so that it is not charged further.
5. General Reference for Charging Times
Recharging time varies according to the watch model (such as the color of the dial). The
times in the table below should therefore only be used as a rough reference.
* Charging time refers to the amount of time during which the watch is continuously
exposed to light.
