Notes Before Use
Notes on charging your watch
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by
exposing the dial to light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent
lamps.
2 3
For optimal performance
Expose the watch with the dial towards direct sunlight for several hours at least •
once a month.
After taking off the watch, put it in a position so that the dial is exposed to •
bright light, such as by a window.
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
sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light sufficient for charging.
Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher).

converting sunlight and other
light into electrical energy.
Once the rechargeable cell is
fully charged, the watch will
function for approximately
6 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 within
approximately 4 days after the insufficient
charge warning starts, the watch will stop.
Quick start function
When the stopped watch is exposed
to light, it starts operating again
immediately.
After quick start, expose the watch to
light until it is fully charged. Set the
correct time before using the watch.
Overcharging prevention
function
Once the watch is fully charged, an
overcharging prevention function will
automatically activate so that it is not
charged any further.
No matter how much the watch
is charged, it will not affect the
rechargeable cell, time accuracy,
functions or other performance.
