ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
l
Whe n the energy s tored in the re chargeable batter y is reduce d to an extremely
low level, the second h and starts moving at 2-second intervals ins tead of the
normal 1-second in tervals. The watch remains accurate even while the second
hand is moving at 2-se cond inter vals.
l When thi s occurs, re charge the wa tch as soon as p ossible by exp osing it to ligh t.
Otherwise, the watch will stop operating within 48 hours. (For re charging the
watch, see “HOW TO CHA RGE 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 time cannot be set.
•
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 cancelled.
v TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
•
When wear ing the watch, make sure that the watch is not c overed by
clothing.
•
Whe n the wa tch i s not in use, l eave it in a br ight plac e as lo ng as
possible.
NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
●
The batter y used in this watch is a rechargeable batter y, which is di fferent
from ordinary silver oxide bat teries. Unlike other disp osable bat teries su ch as
dry- cell bat teries or button cells , this rechar geable bat tery can b e used over
and over again by repeating the cycles of dischar ging and recharging.
●
Th e ca pacit y or r ec har ging ef fi ci ency of t he r ech ar gea bl e batte ry m ay
gra dually det erior ate fo r vari ous reason s such a s long -ter m use or u sage
con ditio ns. Wor n or contaminated me chani cal pa rts or d egraded oil s may
also shorten rechargin g cycles . If the efficiency of the rechargeable b atter y
decreases, it will be neces sary to have the watch repaired.
l
Do not r emove the rech argea ble ba tter y yourself. Re plac ement o f the
rechargeable batte ry requires prof essional knowle dge and sk ill. Please
ask a watch retaile r for replacement of the re chargeable batter y.
l
Installation of an ordinary silver oxide bat tery can generate hea t 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 1/ 5-sec ond
hand gives the average speed
per hour.
Ex. 1
STOPWATCH 1/5-
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 1/5-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 (km 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 1/ 5-sec ond
hand gives the average number
of jobs a ccomplished per hour.
2
Ex. 1
STOPWATCH 1/5second hand:
20 seconds
Tachymeter scale : "180"
“180” (tachymeter scale figure) x 1 job
= 180 jobs/hour
Ex. 2: If 15 jobs are completed in 20 seconds:
"180" (tachymeter scale figure) x 15 jobs = 2700 jobs/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 1/5 second hand points to.
Approx. 3 k m
Please note that the STOPWATCH 1/5-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.
