Notes Before Use

Prior to the watch being shipped from the manufacturing plant, its glass, case, metal band, and metal parts of clasp are covered with stickers to protect them from getting ngerprint or scratches during transit from the plant to the store. If the watch is worn without first removing these stickers, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts. For this reason, please be sure to peel o stickers before wearing the watch.

Notes on charging your watch

is watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light, such as direct sunlight or uorescent lamps. Aer taking o the watch, put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window.

For optimal performance, perform the following:

• Expose the watch with the

dial facing towards direct

sunlight for ve to six hours

at least once a month.

• Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended

period of time, be sure to charge it fully.

• When the watch is regularly covered with long sleeves,

it may not be charged suciently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light sucient for charging.

• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60ºC

or higher).

About the crown

Some models use screw down system for the crown. Accidental operations can be prevented when the watch is not being operated by locking the crown. To operate the watch, release the lock.

• If your watch does not have a screw down crown,

operations can be performed without locking or unlocking the crown.

Before operation

Unlock the crown

Rotate the crown t o the left (counterclockwise).

When the screw lock is released , the crown ex tends to the normal position.

After operation

Lock the crown

Pres s th e cr own and rotate it to the right (clockwi se) to tighten the screw lock.

Your Watch

Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch

Th e watc h operat es by co nve r ting su nlig ht and other light into electrical energy. Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, the watch will function for approximately 7 months.

Insufficient charge warning

If the power becomes very low, the second hand advances at 2-second intervals, indicating that charging is necessary. When the second hand starts to advance at 2-second intervals, expose the watch to light until it is fully charged.

If the watch is not exposed to light wit hin approxi mately 7 days afte r the insufficient charge warning st arts, the watc h will stop.

Quick start function

When the stopped watch is exposed to light, it starts operating again immediately.

After quick start, expose the wa tch to light until it is fully charged. Set the correct time before using the watc h.

Replacement of Rechargeable Cell

Because the watch uses a rechargeable cell, you do not need periodical cell replacement. Howe ver, po wer c onsumptio n may incre ase after using for an extended period of time due to deterioration, and the power may run out earlier than expected. To avoid this, we recommend that you have your watch inspected (Charge basis) periodically.
