Quick Start Feature
The watch will stop when it is completely discharged.
When placed in light, the hands will begin to move
after about 10 seconds. (The time until the hands
begin to move varies according to the model and
brightness of the light.) Please note that if the light is
blocked, the watch may stop again as a result of
being insufficiently recharged.
Overcharging Prevention Feature
When the secondary battery is fully charged, the
overcharging prevention feature is activated to
prevent further recharging. This enables the wearer
to recharge without risk or damage to the watch.
5. CHARGING TIMES
The time required for charging varies to
the model of watch (colour of the watch
face, etc). The following table provides a
general reference for determining
charging times.
* Time required for full charge: Time
from the state in which the watch has
stopped until fully charges.
* Time required for one day’s use: Time
required for the watch to run at one-second
intervals for one day.
6. NOTES REGARDING HANDLING OF SOLAR-
POWERED WATCHES
<Always make sure to recharge frequently>
• Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the
watch may stop as a result of being covered by
your sleeve and blocked from the light.
Recharging Precautions
• The watch will be damaged during recharging if it
becomes excessively hot (60°C/140°F and above).
Avoid recharging when the watch is hot.
Examples: Recharging when the watch is in close
proximity to an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or
other light source that generates considerable heat,
or recharging the watch while placed on the
dashboard of an automobile or other locations
subject to excessively high temperatures.
When you charge the watch by an incandescent
lamp, take a distance about 50cm from the light
source to prevent extremely high temperature.
Handling of Secondary Battery
• The secondary battery should never be removed
from the watch.
• If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove
the secondary battery from the watch, keep out of
the reach of children to prevent accidental
swallowing.
• If the secondary battery is swallowed, consult a
doctor immediately.
Use Only the Specified Battery
Never use a battery other than the secondary battery
for use in this watch. Although the watch structure is
designed so that it will not operate when another
type of battery is installed, if a silver battery or other
type of battery is installed in the watch and the watch
is recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which
may cause the battery to rupture. This can cause
damage to the watch and injury to the wearer.
When replacing the secondary battery, always make
sure to use the designated secondary battery.
7. HELPFUL HINTS
<The second hand is moving in two-second
interval movement>
This indicates that
the insufficient
recharging warning
feature has been
activated. When this
happens, recharge
the watch promptly
so that it returns to one-second interval movement.
<The second hand is moving with a hitch
movement>
This indicates that the
time setting warning
feature has been
activated. Sufficiently
recharge the watch and
reset it to the correct time.
