ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
l
When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely
low level, the second hand start s moving at 2-second intervals instead of the
normal 1- second inter vals. The watch remains accurate even while the second
hand is moving at 2-second intervals.
l When thi s occurs, re charge the wa tch as soon as p ossible by exp osing it to ligh t.
Other wise, the watch switches to fi ve-second inter val movement, f ollowed by a
completely stopped s tate.
•
Neither the buttons nor the crown can be operated while the second hand moves at twosecond or five-second intervals (this is not a malfunction).
•
While the second hand moves at five-second intervals, the hour and minute hands, and date
stop operating.
•
While the second hand moves at five-second intervals, the watch is unable to receive radio
signals automatically. After the watch is charged sufficiently and the second hand returns to
normal one-second interval movement, conduct the manual reception of radio signals to set
the watch to the correct time.
v TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
•
When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by
clothing.
•
When t he w atch is not in us e, leav e it i n a brigh t pl ac e as long as
possible.

The above table provides only a general gui deline.
GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY
A: Time to charge 1 day of p ower
B: Time re quired for steady ope ration
C: Tim e required for fu ll charge
u The watch operates while
charging electricity by
converting light received on
the dial to electrical energy.
It cannot properly operate
unless the remaining energy
is sufficient. Place or store
the watch in a location
receiving light etc., to
sufficiently charge electricity.
• When the watch is
stopped or the second
hand starts moving
at 2-second intervals,
charge the watch by
exposing it to light.
• The time required for
charging the watch
varies depending on
the calibres. Check the
calibre of your watch
engraved on the back
cover.
• It is recommended that
the watch be charged for
as long as the charging
time "B" to assure the
stable movement of the
watch.
