Solar Charging
What is solar charging?
This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
Operation Guide 5496
2

Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.
NOYES
Important!
●Depending on light intensity and local
conditions, the watch may become hot
to the touch when exposed to light for
charging. Take care to avoid burn
injury after charging. Also, avoid
charging the watch under high-
temperature conditions like the ones
described below.
ーOn the dashboard of a vehicle
parked in the sun
ーNear an incandescent light bulb or
other source of heat
ーUnder direct sunlight or in other hot
areas for long periods

if the city setting is wrong. Change the city
setting so it correctly reflects your
location.
l Auto Time Adjustment
After checking the above, the watch still
cannot perform a receive operation.
Time signal reception is not possible
when any one of the conditions exists.
●During power saving
●When the crown is pulled out
The watch cannot perform auto receive if
auto receive is turned off.
l Enabling/Disabling Auto Receive
If successful reception is not possible for
some reason, you can adjust the time and
day settings manually.
Q2 The signal receive operation always
fails.
Is the watch in a location that is appropriate
for signal reception?
Check your surroundings and move the
watch to a location where signal reception
is better.
l Appropriate Signal Reception Location
Did you avoid touching the watch while the
receive operation was in progress?
Minimize movement of the watch and do
not perform any watch operation while a
receive operation is in progress.
Is the signal transmitter in your area
transmitting a signal?
The transmitter of the time signal may not
be transmitting. Try again later.
Q3 Signal reception should have been
successful, but the watch’s time and/
or day is wrong.
Do the hand and/or day indicator look out
of alignment?
Correct hand and day indicator alignment.
l Correcting Hand and Day Indicator
Alignment
