2. Before Using

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 9 months without additional charging (when the power save feature is operating).

V

Power Save Feature

When power generation stops as a result of light not shining on the solar cell during the time display or local time display, the second hand stops at the 12:00 position and only the hour and minute hands move to save power. When light once again begins to shine on the solar cell, the second hand advances rapidly to the current seconds and returns to moving at one second intervals.

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.

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 numerous functions including a full-auto calendar that changes the date automatically (day, month and year change automatically through February 28, 2100 including leap years), a daily alarm function that can be set based on a 24-hour clock, and a chronograph function that allows measurement of time in 1/20 second units up to 59 minutes, 59.95 seconds.

[Case of Having Become Insufficiently Charged from the Normal

Time Display]

* In the case the watch has become insufficiently charged, promptly recharge the watch so

that it returns to normal hand movement (normal time display).

Note: Recharge the watch by exposing to light for at least 30 minutes. (Expose the watch to light until the second hand moves to the "SET" position.)

When the watch is recharged by exposing to light, the second hand moves from "STOP" position to the "SET" position.

[Normal Time Display]

[Time Setting Warning

Display]

The second hand rapidly moves to the "SET" position and stops.

[Insufficient Charge

Warning Display]

The second hand rapidly moves to "CHARGE" position and stops.

[Stopped]

The second hand rapidly moves to "STOP" position and stops.

If the watch is left without recharging

When recharged

When insufficiently charged

When the second hand is pointing to the word "SET", it means that the time

should be reset. Always make sure to reset the watch to the current time.

Note: The watch will not return to the normal time display unless the time is reset.

When this watch becomes insufficiently charged, the second hand automatically moves to one of the words indicating a warning display to inform the wearer of "insufficient charge warning" or "time setting warning". Try to keep the watch charged at all times to prevent it from becoming insufficiently charged.

the Time after Charging due to the Watch Being Insufficiently Charged and then Resetting the Time after Recharging]

* If the watch stops as a result of

being insufficiently charged, the watch will not return to normal hand movement (normal time display) unless the watch is sufficiently recharged and the time is reset.

Always make sure to expose the watch to light and recharge.

Regardless of the display of the watch at the time, when the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the watch changes to the time display and the second hand moves to the CHARGE position to inform the wearer that it is insufficiently charged. After the second hand moves to the CHARGE position, the watch changes to the time display in the order of the 24 hour hand, hour hand, minute hand and date wheel (function hand). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed (roughly 2 days in the case the hands have been moved to switch the time when the insufficient charging warning feature is activated). When this happens, charge the watch by exposing to light so that it returns to one-second interval movement. However, since the

time is incorrect when the watch is exposed to light and changes to the insufficient charging warning display after it has stopped due to insufficient charging, set the time after sufficiently charging the watch.

Notes:

• Chronograph measurement stops and the chronograph is reset even when measurement is in progress.

• The set time (time difference) is retained for the local time.

• The alarm will not sound even if it is set.

• Crown (mode switching) and button operations will not function.

When the watch is recharged by exposing to light after it has stopped, the second hand moves to the SET position to inform the wearer that the time is incorrect. Although the 24 hour hand, hour hand and minute hand will begin to move after the second hand moves to the SET position, since the time is incorrect, reset the time and date after sufficiently charging the watch.

Notes:

• Crown and button operations will not function except for time and calendar setting operations.

• When the crown is pulled out to position 2 (time correction position) in the time or date

setting mode, the time setting warning feature is canceled. The second hand will remain stopped at the SET position unless the crown is pulled out to position 2 and the time is set.

• In the case the watch has stopped due to insufficient charging, a minimum of 30 minutes are required until the watch changes to the time setting warning display even if sufficiently exposed to light.

The overcharging prevention feature is activated when the secondary battery is fully charged so that it is not charged further.
