Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated power charges a
built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed
to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, be sure
to leave it in a location where
it is exposed to light.
xBest charging
performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to
light that is as strong as
possible.
When wearing the watch, makes
sure that its face is not blocked
from light by the sleeve of your
clothing.
xThe watch may enter a sleep
state (page E-10) if its face is
blocked by your sleeve even
only partially.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when
handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to
the following conditions for long periods.
xOn the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
xToo close to an incandescent lamp
xUnder direct sunlight

Important!
xKeep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps
to ensure that power does not run down.
xStoring the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is
blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to
bright light whenever possible.
Power Levels
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the movement of
the
2
Second Hand.
xIf the
2
Second Hand is moving normally at one-second intervals, power is
at Level 1.
xIf the
2
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals, power is at Level 2,
which is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible so it can
charge (Low battery alert).

Hand Movement and Position
■The
2
Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals.
■All the watch’s hands are stopped at 12 o’clock and none of the buttons work.
Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the
2
Second Hand starts moving normally, at one-
second intervals (page E-8).
■The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any
operation.
This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate
malfunction, and should stop shortly.
xThe watch is recovering from a sleep state (page E-10).
xThe time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto time calibration signal receive operation
(page E-11).
■Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.
The watch may be in the power recovery mode (page E-9). Do not perform any operation until the hands
return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return to their correct positions
when normal operation returns. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed
to light.
■The current time setting is off by hours.
xYour Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page
E-19).
