Ⅵ FUNCTIONS OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH
These functions are only found in the solar power
watch. If the watch becomes insufficiently charged,
a warning comes into operation and the display
changes, as below.
Insufficient Charge Warning Function
If the watch is put in the undercharged state during
any display mode, it switches to the time display
when in the other display modes, then the second
hand moves to the ᮡ CHARGE position, indicating
the shortage of electricity. (Electric power shortage
warning display) Even then, the time (hour, minute
and 24-hour hands) runs accurately.
* The alarm does not ring even if it is set.
* If the chronograph is being used, measurement
stops and it is reset.
* The push button does not function.
Refer to, “Ⅵ In These Cases”.
Stop Warning Function
If the watch is left intact in the undercharged state,
about 5 days later the second hand will move to the
ᮡ STOP position, indicating that the watch has
stopped due to electric power shortage. (Stop
warning display) The other hands (hour, minute and
24-hands) also stop.
* In this condition, all functions stop.
Refer to, “Ⅵ In These Cases”.
Time Setting Warning Function
When the watch is recharged by exposing it to light
after once stopped, the second hand moves to the
ᮡ SET position, indicating that the watch does not
keep correct time. (Time setting warning display)
* The hour, minute and 24-hour hands run at the
incorrect time.
Refer to, “Ⅵ In These Cases”.
Overcharge Prevention Function
You can recharge without worry.
When the secondary battery is fully recharged, the
overcharging prevention function works so that the
secondary battery is not overcharged.
Ⅵ NOTES ON USE
Please take care to charge your watch during use.
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch
can easily become insufficiently charged because it
is hidden and not exposed to light.
• When you take off the watch, try to place it in as
bright a place as possible, and it will always
continue to run properly.
CAUTION
Never use another battery apart from the secondary
battery (Titanium Lithium Ion Battery) used in this
watch.
The watch structure is so designed that a different
kind of battery other than that specified cannot be
used to operate it. However, in case a different
battery such as a silver battery is used by some
chance, there is a danger that it will be overcharged
to burst, causing damage to the watch and even the
human body.
When you replace the secondary battery, be sure to
use a designated secondary battery.
NOTES ON CHARGING
• The watch will be damaged during recharging if it
gets too hot (over about 60ЊC/140ЊF). Avoid
recharging at high temperatures.
(eg) Charging the watch near a light source that
easily becomes hot, such as an incandescent
lamp or a halogen lamp.
Charging in a place that easily becomes hot
such as a dashboard.
• Note that full charging is difficult in a place
irradiated by only weak light.
• When you charge the watch by an incandescent
lamp, take a distance about 50cm (20in.) from the
light source to prevent extremely high temperature.
