About Solar Powered Watches (Eco-Drive watch)
This Eco-Drive watch features a solar panel under the dial and is powered by •
converting solar energy into electrical energy.
This watch also features functions such as a perpetual calendar ( which automatically •
adjusts the date at month ends and leap years) a daily alarm (that can be set according
to a 24-hour system), and a chronograph (capable of measuring up to 59 minutes, 59.95
seconds, in 1/20 second units).

Periodically expose the watch dial to daylight
This watch uses a rechargeable cell to store electrical energy. This is an environmentally
clean cell that does not use any harmful substances such as mercury.
Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, (and the power saving feature is operative)
the watch will function for approximately 8 months without additional exposure to light.
Guide to Charging Time
Most users find that their watch receives more than enough light to keep it charged
through their normal daily routine.
During normal operation, the charge necessary for the watch to operate for one day can
be obtained in approximately 10 minutes per day when charged outdoors in direct
sunlight, and in 4 hours per day when charged by indoor illumination.
If your watch is not exposed to light regularly and to prevent the watch from stopping
due to an insufficient charge, we recommend that you charge the watch for 5 to 6 hours
under direct sunlight once a month.
Ensuring optimal operation of the watch
Always store the watch in a bright location for best results.
When you take your watch off, place it in a location so that the dial (face) can receive •
light, such as a window sill, where sunlight can directly strike the watch dial (face).
Wearing clothes with long sleeves may inhibit sufficient light from reaching the watch •
dial (face), resulting in insufficient charging.
It is recommended that the watch is charged in direct sunlight once a month for 5 to 6
hours.
[Charging precautions]
Avoid charging the watch on a car dashboard or under other high temperature •
conditions (60°C/140°F or more) as this may result in damage to your watch.
Avoid charging the watch under potentially high temperature light sources such as •
incandescent or halogen lights as this may result in damage to your watch.

English
If the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the second hand will automatically move to
the low charge warning, informing you of a “Charge warning” and “Time setting
warning”.
Always take care to charge your watch so that the charge does not become insufficient.
[Normal time display]
If watch becomes insufficiently charged
[If the charge becomes insufficient during normal time display]
If the charge becomes insufficient, quickly charge the watch to restore normal •
operations (normal time display).
[Insufficient charge warning]
The second hand points to
CHARGE.
[Stopped status]
The second hand
points to STOP.
[Time setting warning display]
The second hand points to SET.
As the watch recharges
If the second hand points to the SET position, it indicates that the time must be set. Set the
correct time.
Note: Normal time display will not be restored unless the time is set. (Refer to “Setting the
Time and Calendar”.)
When the
watch is
left
without
charging
When charging the
watch by subjecting it to
light, the second hand
will move from the STOP
position to the SET
position.
Note: Continue to subject the watch to light until
the second hand moves to the “SET”
position (approximately 30 minutes or
more).

<Low Power Warning>
Regardless what mode the watch is in, if the power becomes very low, the watch will switch to the time
display and the second hand will move to the ‘CHARGE’ position indicating that recharging is
necessary.
After the second hand has moved to the ‘CHARGE’ position, the watch will switch to display the time
in the following sequence, 24-hour hand, hour hand, minute hand, date (function hand).
Although the watch is functioning properly in this low charge state, it will stop within approximately 5
days (approximately 2 days if the display switches from charge warning operations to time change
movement).
Restore the 1-second interval movement of the second hand by exposing the watch to light sufficient for
charging.
If the watch stops due to insufficient charge, be sure to fully charge it,
perform the all reset and 0-positioning procedure and then re-set the
time as well as the calendar.
Note, during low power:
•Thechronographwillstop,evenduringmeasurement,andreset.
•Thetimesetforlocaltime(timedifference)ismaintained.
•Thealarmsoundwillnotbeemittedevenifthealarmhasbeenset.
•Crown(changingmodes)andbuttonoperationswillnotfunction.
<Time setting warning function>
As the watch is exposed to light sufficient for charging and begins re-charging after it has stopped, the
second hand will move to the SET position, informing you that the time is incorrect and must be set.
Although movement of the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand will start after the second hand
has moved to the SET position, the time and calendar must be set after the watch has fully charged.
Note: When the time setting warning function is enabled

•Ifthewatchhasstoppedduetoaninsufcientcharge,exposethewatchtolightsufcientforcharging
until the display switches to the time setting warning indication
(SET position) (30 minutes or more).
<Overcharging prevention function>
Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, an overcharging
prevention function will activate so that it is not charged any
further.
<Power saving function>
If the watch is not exposed to light sufficient for charging and in the time/calendar mode
(TME) or local time mode (L-TM), the second hand will move to the 0-position and
stop, and the watch will enter power saving mode to reduce power consumption.
Even though the second hand stops, the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand will
continue to keep the correct time. Also, the calendar will continue to update according to
the movement of the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand.
The Second Hand will start moving again once the watch is subjected to light sufficient •
for charging. However, if the watch is in insufficient charge warning mode, the second
hand will stop at the CHARGE position. If the watch is in time setting warning mode,
the second hand will stop at the SET position. If the watch is stopped, the second hand
will stop at the STOP position.

Note:
If the second hand does not stop at the 0-second position, be sure to perform reference or •
0-position correction in reference or 0-position correction mode.
If the crown is pulled out two ‘steps’ to position 2 while the date is advancing, the date and •
function hand will stop at that position, and after the second hand has rapidly advanced to the 0
second position, the date will advance by remaining amount.
Rotate the crown to adjust the time.3.
(1) Rotate the crown to the right (clockwise) by 1 ‘click’ to move the 24-hour hand,
hour hand and minute hand clockwise.
(2) Rotate the crown to the left (counterclockwise) by 1 ‘click’ to move the 24-hour
hand, hour hand and minute hand counterclockwise.
Quickly rotate the crown 2 or more clicks consecutively to advance the hands •
rapidly. Rotate the crown to the left or right 1 click to stop rapid advance.
If the rapid advance is not stopped, the hand will automatically stop after “12 hours”
of rotation.
Adjust the watch according to a reliable time source and then return the crown to the 4.
closed position (normal position).
