A. BEFORE USING
This watch is not powered by a conventional battery, but is powered by
converting light to electrical energy.
Before using, be sure to fully charge your watch by exposing it to light.
(See “F. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING”, for charge time reference)
Since it takes time to recharge the watch until it starts running again
once it has stopped, try to make sure the watch is charged everyday.
When the watch has stopped, the watch hands will begin to move when
the watch is charged for about 5 hours in the case of the two-hand model
or about 1 hour in the case of the three-hand model at 3000Lux (under a
fluorescent light at a distance of about 20 cm(8 inch)).
Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for approximately 5 months in
the case of the three-hand model, and for approximately 2 months in the case of
the two-hand model, without additional charging.
Your watch features an Overcharge Prevention Function so there is no need to
worry about overcharging your watch.
A special energy storage cell is used to store electrical energy. This special cell
does not require replacement and is a clean energy unit that does not contain
any toxic substances.
B. SETTING THE TIME
[Two-Hand Model] [Three-Hand Model]
WSetting the time
1. Pull the crown out to the time setting position (the second hand will stop when
the crown is pulled out in the case of the three-hand model).
2. Turn the crown to set the time.
3. After setting the time, firmly push the crown back in to the normal position.
