Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Whenever you are not wearing the watch, leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.

• Best charging performance

is achieved by exposing the watch to the strongest light available.

E-12

Power Levels

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator on the display.

E-110 Troubleshooting

E-121 Specifications

E-11

Warning! Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

• On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

• Too close to an incandescent lamp

• Under direct sunlight

Important!

• Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black

out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.

• Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-18) and keep it in an area

normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.

• Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

E-13

• The flashing

and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.

• At Level 4 or Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial

factory defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 4 or Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.

• If charging starts from Level 5,

is reached. Note, however, that watch functions are not restored at this time. Leave the watch exposed to sufficiently strong light until the battery level reaches Level 2 or Level 1 before using it.

• Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source

can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.

• All data stored in memory is deleted, and the current time and all other settings

return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 4 or Level 5, and when you have the battery replaced.

E-15

Power Recovery Mode

• Performing multiple sensor, illumination, or beeper operations during a short period

may cause all of the battery power indicators (H,M, and L) to start flashing on the display. This indicates that the watch is in the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, hourly time signal, and sensor operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.

• Battery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power

indicators (H,M,L) will stop flashing. This indicates that the functions listed above are enabled again.

• If all of the battery power indicators (H,M,L) are flashing and the

indicator also is flashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch to bright light as soon as possible.

• Even if battery power is at Level 1 (H) or Level 2 (M), the Digital Compass/

Thermometer Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. This is indicated when all of the battery power indicators (H,

M,L

) are flashing.

• Frequent flashing of all of the battery power indicators (H,M,L) probably means

that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

E-16

• The above exposure times all are for reference only. Actual exposure times depend

on lighting conditions.

• For details about the operating time and daily operating conditions, see the “Power

Supply” section of the Specifications (page E-124).

Power Saving

When turned on, Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

• There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”.

already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

• The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode or

Countdown Timer Mode.

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area, press any button, or angle the watch towards your face for reading (page E-102).

• Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be

impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the influence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater.

• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain

times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
