• Even if the watch is not cha rged for the time specified in the c olumn, the sec ond
hand may tem porarily move at 1-second i ntervals. But it will soon resu me moving
at 2-second intervals , and therefore, charge the watch for mo re than the s pecified
period .
• When the watch is fully ch arged, it will co ntinue to operate for a bout 4 months.
CAUTION
• When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a hot light source
such as a photoash light, spotlight or incandescent light as this can
greatly raise the watch temperature.
English
• When charging the watch by sunlight, do not leave it exposed to the sun
for a long time, on the dashboard of a car, etc.. as this can greatly raise
the watch temperature.
• Make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50°C while charging,
to avoid damage to the parts inside.

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to
l
an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second
intervals instead of the normal 1-second intervals.
In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to
l
light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 1 day.
To prevent the energy depletion
u
• When you wear the watch, try not to keep it covered by your
clothes.
• When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long
as possible.
* M ake sure that the watch temp erature does not exce ed 50°C.

NOTES ON POWER SUPPLY
This watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive
l
use with the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches,
therefore, battery replacement is not necessary.
The solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the
l
natural environment.
English

CAUTION
Never insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch
l
as it may explode, generate an intense heat or catch re. The
watch is designed not to operate even if the battery is installed
in it.

* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused.
This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as
corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends
English
to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on
diving into water.
TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with

stable accuracy within a
temperature range of 5° C

and 35° C (41° F and 95° F).
50° C (122° F) may cause battery

Temperatures over
Do not leave your watch in very low
temperatures below –5° C (+23° F)
for a long time since the cold may
cause a slight time loss or gain.
However, the above conditions will
be corrected when the watch returns
to normal temperature.
