WARNING
!
A watch with water resistance for daily life 30m (3 bar) can be used during
face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which it will be
submerged in water.
A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50m (5 bar) can be
used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving
including skin diving.
A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100m or 200m (10
or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba
diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.
CAUTION
!
Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using
the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely
screwed down.
Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water
may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance.
If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during
face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water
or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth.
Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing strong
jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit can
apply, which may defeat the water resistance.
With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case
after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects.
The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may
cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler than
the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary it causes
no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters the watch,
consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem untreated.

(2) About the Battery (Secondary Cells)
This watch uses a special-purpose secondary cell for a power source that
differs from a regular battery.
The secondary cell is not a regular disposable type of battery but is instead
ENGLISH
a rechargeable battery that can be used more than once.
The battery charge and charging efficiency of the secondary cell may drop
little by little depending on the duration of use and usage environment.
If it begins to seem that performance has deteriorated, contact the store
where the place of purchase or your nearest ORIENT authorized service
center.
Be aware that the battery charge will not be maintained even if the crown
is pulled out to stop the watch.
(3) Replacing the Battery
WARNING
!
Do not remove the secondary cell from the watch.
Battery replacement requires highly specialized knowledge and special-
purpose tools, technology, etc. For assistance with battery replacement,
contact the place of purchase or your nearest ORIENT authorized service
center.
Do not use in combination with regular silver-oxide batteries as doing
so may cause explosion, overheating, fire, etc. to occur. The watch is
designed so as not to allow electricity to conduct even if used with a silveroxide battery.
(4) Shock
Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous
sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not
adversely influence the watch.
Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the
floor.
24
(5) Magnetism
If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended
period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in
malfunction. Be careful.
The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to
magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In
such a case, reset the time.
(6) Vibration
The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong
vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using
jackhammers, chain saws, etc.
(7) Temperature
In the environment below and above the normal temperatures <5°C~35°C>,
the watch may malfunction and stop.
CAUTION
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The watch
!
may heat and cause burns.
ENGLISH
(8) Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,
mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents
containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,
cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the
watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and
damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.
25
(9) About accessory parts
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch.
ENGLISH
Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of
children.
If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
(10) Allergic reactions
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due to
contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately and
consult a doctor.
(11) About “luminous light”
Some models have luminous light on the hands and dial.
The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light
without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark
setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer
over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted
depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape
of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the
distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.
Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may
emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.
WARNING
!
CAUTION
!
(12) Water resistant watchband
Some models employ leather and nylon bands on which a special
treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.
Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be
lost depending on the period and conditions of use.
26
HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALIBER NUMBER
Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or
the case code on the watch’s case back.
1. Searching by 10-digit model number
Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch.
You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second
and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch.
ENGLISH
Example:
If the model number is “ƑWD02001WƑ”, the caliber number is
“WD”.
2. Searching by the case code
See the case code on the case back of your watch.
The first two digits indicate the caliber number.
Example: When the case code is “WD02-Q4”, the caliber number is “WD”.
WD02-Q4
Case code
* The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and
difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.
* The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual
appearance of your watch but the function and operation procedures are
the same.
27
FEATURES
There is a solar cell located under the dial on this watch that converts absorbed
light into electrical energy which is then used to charge the secondary cell and
operate the watch.
ENGLISH
• This watch uses a rechargeable secondary cell instead of one of the silveroxide batteries used in regular quartz watches.
• The watch should be able to be used for about 6 months when fully
charged.
• The watch will start running if the solar cell is exposed to light, even if the
watch is left for long periods of time.
• It comes with a power reserve indicator feature.
When the amount of charge starts to get low, the second hand will start
to move in 2-second intervals to inform you that the battery needs to be
charged.
If the second hand has begun to move in 2-second intervals, it means that
the watch could stop within the next 24 hours due to low battery.
SPECIFICATIONS
(1) Crystal oscillator frequency:
(2) Wrist-worn accuracy: Mean monthly rate: ±15 seconds (at 5°C to 35°C)
(3) Operating temperature range: –10°C to +60°C
(4) Drive system: Step motor
(5) Functions: WD: 3 hands (hour, minute, second)

HOW TO CHARGE THE BATTERY
This watch will start running if it is exposed to light while stopped.
• The watch will continue to run for approx. 6 months once fully charged.
• If the watch is not exposed to enough light, it may stop running sometime
ENGLISH
before the 6 months are over.
Expose the watch to high enough levels of light in order to make it run again if
it has stopped or if the battery charge is too low.
The second hand may start to advance in 2-second intervals even if the watch
is exposed to sunlight or intense light (1000 lux: 70 cm (27.6 in.) under a 30-W
fluorescent lamp).
• If the second hand begins moving in 2-second intervals, it signifies that the
watch battery hasn’t been charged enough. Expose the watch to even more
light to charge it more fully.
• Continue charging the watch until the second hand clearly begins moving in
1-second intervals using the required charging time as a rough estimate.
• You do not need to charge it fully, but you should make sure to charge it as
much as possible the first time you use it.
* Movement of the second hand in 2-second intervals refers to when the
second hand advances two tick marks (2 seconds) along the scale every
time it moves.
30
CAUTION
!
(Cautions for Charging)
• When charging the battery, be careful not allow the watch to get to close
to the light source, such as a piece of photographic lighting equipment, a
spotlight, an incandescent bulb, etc., as it could cause the watch to get hot,
leading to internal parts, etc. becoming damaged.
• Be careful where you leave the watch if charging it using sunlight as the
temperature of a dashboard of a car or other such location can get rather
high.
• Do not allow the temperature of the watch itself to exceed 60°C (140°F).
IF THE SECOND HAND BEGINS MOVING IN 2-SECOND
INTERVALS DURING USE
The second hand begins moving in 2-second intervals when the power
reserve indicator feature turns on.
Charge the watch as soon as possible as the watch could stop running within
24 hours after the second hand starts moving in this manner.
Charge the watch as fully as possible using the estimated required charging
times.

* Values in the column marked with (★) are required times to charge the watch
through exposure to light while stopped until the second hand changes from
moving in 2-second intervals to 1-second intervals. In some cases with the
times listed, the second hand will advance normally in 1-second intervals
even without being charged but will switch over to 2-second intervals rather
suddenly . To ensure that this does not occur , make sure to charge the watch
for the estimated length of time given.
* Required charging time settings were calculated based on standard models.
There may be differences in the length of charging times needed depending
on dial design and other factors.
* The watch comes with an overcharge prevention mechanism designed
to protect the watch from damage even if it is charged for longer than
the length of the required charging time for full charge. The overcharge
prevention mechanism works automatically to prevent the watch battery
from charging anymore once fully charged.
