the watch keeps operating without needing to be charged.
• When the powe r reserve ind icator indicates Low level, the sec ond hand moves at twosecond inter vals, and will stop within 48 hou rs.
• If the watch is charge d by exposing it to strong light such as sunlight, the power reserve
indicator m ay not show the remaining powe r reserve amount properly. Make sure to cha rge
the watch sufficie ntly by referring to GUIDELIN E OF CHARGING TIME /ACCURACY.

◆ 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

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
l
When the energy stored in the re chargeable batter y is reduce d to an
extremely low leve l, the second hand starts moving at 2- second int ervals
inste ad of the normal 1-second in tervals. The watch rem ains accurate
even while the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals .
l W hen this occ urs, recharge the watch a s soon as pos sible by exposing it
to light. Otherwise, the watch will stop operating within 48 hours. ( For
recharging the watch, see HOW TO CH ARGE AND START THE WATCH.)
•
While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot be activated.
This is not a malfunction.
•
If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch is operating,
the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch hands will return to the “0”
position.
•
While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the alarm cannot be engaged (ON).
•
If the time reaches the alarm time while the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the
alarm will not sound, and the alarm will be automatically disengaged (OFF).
v TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
•
Whe n wearing the wa tch, make sure that the watch is not covered by
clothing.
•
When the watch is not in us e, leave it in a bri ght place as long as
possible.
NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
l
The battery used in this watch is a recharge able battery, which is di fferent
from ordinary silver oxide bat teries. Unlike other disp osable batteries
such as dry-ce ll batteries or button cells, this r echargeable battery can
be used over and over again by repeating the cycles o f discharging and
recharging.
l
The capacity or recharging efficien cy of the rech argeable ba ttery may
gradually deteriorate for various reasons such as long-term use or usage
condi tions. Worn or c ontaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils
may also s horten re charging cycles. If the e fficiency of the rechargeable
battery decr eases, it will be neces sary to have the watch repaired.
l
Do no t remove the re chargeable batter y yourself. Replaceme nt of
the rechargeable batter y requires pr ofession al knowledge and skill.
Pleas e ask a watch retailer for replacement of the rechargeable
battery.
l
Installation of an ordinar y silver oxid e batter y can genera te heat that
can cause bursting and ignition.

TACHYMETER
(for models with tachymeter scale on the dial)
l
Tachyme ter scale ca n be used only w hen the time re quired is le ss than 60 se conds.
To measure the hourly average speed of a vehicle
Use the s topwatch to
determine how many seconds
it take s to go 1 km or 1 mile.
Tachymeter scale indi cated by
the STOP WATCH sec ond hand
gives the average speed per
hour.
Ex. 1
STO PWATC H
second hand:
40 seconds
Tachymeter scale:
"90"
“90” (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 (km or mile)
= 90 km/h or mph
Ex. 2: If the measuring distance is extended to 2 km or miles or shortened to 0.5 km or
miles and the STOPWATCH second hand indicates “90” on tachymeter scale:
"90 " (tachymeter scale figure) x 2 (km or mile) = 180 km /h or mph
"90 " (tachymeter scale figure) x 0.5 (k m or mile) = 45 km/h or mph

To measure the hourly rate of operation
Use the s topwatch to measure
the time r equired to complete 1
job.
1
Tachymeter scale indi cated by
the STOP WATCH sec ond hand
gives the average numb er of
jobs ac complished per hour.

TELEMETER
(for models with telemeter scale on the dial)
l
The telemeter can pr ovide a rough indication of the distanc e to the source o f
light and sound.
l
The telemeter indicates the distance from your location to an objec t that emits
both lig ht and sound. For example, it ca n indicate th e distance to the place
where lightning str uck by measuring the time elapsed after you see a flas h of
lightning until you hear the sound.
l
A flash of lightning rea ches you almost immediately while the sound travels to
you at a sp eed of 0.33 k m/se cond. The distance to th e source of the light and
sound c an be calculated on the bas is of this dif ference.
l
The telemeter sca le is graduated so that the so und travels at a speed of 1 km in
3 seconds.*
*Under the condition of temperature of 20° C(68° F)
The telemeter provides only a rough indication of the distance to the
place where lightning struck , and theref ore, the indic ation cannot be used
as the guideline to avoid th e danger of ligh tning. It should also be note d
that the speed of the sound differs depending on the temperature of the
atmosphere where it travels.
CAUTION
HOW TO USE THE TELEMETER
Befor e beginning, c heck that th e stopwatc h has been reset.
START
(Flash of light)
STOP
(Crash of thunder)
Press Button A to start the
stopw atch as soon a s you
see light.
When you hear the sound,
press Button A to stop the
stopwatch.
Read the telemeter scale
that the STOPWATCH
second hand points to.
Approx. 3 k m
Please note that the STOPWATCH second hand moves in 1/5-second increments and does not
always point exactly to the graduations of the telemeter scale. The telemeter scale can be used
only when the measured time is less than 60 seconds.
