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 (refer to pages 12 and 13 for charging
guidelines).
After taking off the watch, put it in a location where the
dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window.
For optimal performance, be sure to:
• Expose the watch to direct sunlight half a day at least
once a week.
• Avoid leaving the watch in dark places for long periods of time.
Caution
• Do not charge the watch at high temperature (about 60°C (140°F) or higher).
• If the watch is obscured from light by long sleeves frequently, supplemental
charging may be needed to ensure continual operation. Refer to pages 12 and
.

Charging your watch
When the watch reaches a low charge state (insufficient charge warning
function)
When the power reserve becomes low, the second hand
moves once every two seconds. This is the insufficient
charge warning function. Be sure to fully charge your
watch as outlined on pages 12 and 13.
• When the watch is sufficiently charged, the second
hand will move normally.
• If you do not charge the watch for 10 days or longer
after the insufficient charge warning movement has begun, the watch will be
depleted of all power and stop.
Caution
• When in the insufficient charge warning state, the current time and date are
indicated. However, other features and functions of the watch will not be
available for use.
