B. SETTING THE TIME AND DATE

*If the crown is of the screw- type, set the time and calendar after first loosening

the screw. Retighten the screw after the time and calendar have been set.

A. BEFORE USING

This watch is powered not by an ordinary battery, but by converting photo energy to electrical energy.

Before using, expose to light and make sure the watch is sufficiently charged. See "G. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING" for charging time reference.

A secondary battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This secondary battery is a clean energy battery which doesn't use any toxic substances such as mercury. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for about 6 months without further charging.

To use this watch comfortably, make sure that the watch is always recharged before it stops.

There is no concern for overcharging this watch. (Overcharge Prevention Function is included)

We recommend that you recharge the watch everyday.

Setting the Date

(1) Pull the crown out to the date correction position. (2) Turn the crown to the left (counter-clockwise direction) and set the date. (3) Securely return the crown to the normal position.

* Since the date is linked to movement of the hour hand, the date changes

when the hour hand approaches 12:00 midnight. Please note this operation when using as a dual time watch.

* Do not attempt to correct the calendar when the hour hand is between the

hours of 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM. Setting the calendar during this time may result in the date not changing on the following day.

Setting the Time

(1) Pull the crown out to the time correction position. (The second hand stops

when the crown is pulled out.)

(2) Turn the crown to set the 24 hour hand and minute hand to the current

time. At this time, the movement of the hour hand is linked with the movement of the 24 hour hand.

(3) Push the crown back in to the normal position. (The second hand begins

to move when the crown is pushed in.) (4) Pull the crown out to the date correction position. (1st click position) (5) Turn the crown to the right (clockwise direction) and set the hour hand to the

current time. Pay attention to AM and PM since the location of the hour hand

where the date changes is approximately 12:00 midnight. (6) Securely return the crown to the normal position.

Reading the Time Based on a 24-Hour Clock

Read the time on the inside (1:00 to 12:00) with the short hand of the 24 hour hand, and the time on the outside (13:00 to 24:00) with the long hand.

Correcting the Local Time Hours

(1) Pull the crown out to the local time correction position. (1st click position) (2) Turn the crown to the right (clockwise direction) and set the hour hand to the

desired time. The hour hand can be corrected in +1 hour increments in the clockwise direction. Set the time while paying attention to AM and PM.

(3) Securely return the crown to the normal position.

* The hour hand cannot be corrected in the counter-clockwise direction. The

date changes when the crown is turned to the left (counter-clockwise). In addition, since the calendar is linked with the operation of the hour hand, it may be necessary to correct the calendar after correcting the hour hand depending on the time to which the hour hand was set.

C. USING AS A DUAL TIME WATCH

This watch allows the hour hand only to be corrected independently without stopping the watch. It can be used as a dual time watch by setting the 24 hour hand and hour hand to different times. After correcting the time, the hour hand is used to indicate the "local time hours".

If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning function will operate and the display changes, as below.

If sufficiently charged

Insufficient Charge Warning Function

The second hand changes to a two second interval movement to indicate insufficient recharging.

Even in such a case, the watch keeps correct time, but about 3 days after the two second interval movement begins, the watch will stop. After exposing the watch to light, recharging takes place and the watch returns to one second interval movement.

Quick Start Function

The watch will stop if it is completely discharged.

It will begin to operate soon after it is exposed to light.

(However, the time to start may vary according to the brightness of the light.)

Time Setting Warning Function

If the watch stops, subsequent exposure to light allows the Quick Start Function to start again, and

the second hand moves with a hitch to indicate that the time incorrect.

In this case, quickly recharge the watch and reset the time. Otherwise, the hitch movement will continue.

Overcharge Prevention Function

You can recharge without worry.

Once the secondary battery is fully recharged, the overcharging prevention feature comes into operation and prevents over-recharging.
