[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature]
The second hand switches from 1-second

movement
[Stopped]
All hands stop moving
If watch is continued to be
used without charging
The watch hands resume 2-second interval movement when the watch is charged by
exposing to light. However, the time is incorrect as a result of the watch having stopped
due to being insufficiently charged. Sufficiently charge the watch until it resumes
1-second interval movement and reset the time before use.

[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature]
When the capacity of the rechargeable cell decreases as a result of light not
shining on the solar cell, the second hand switches from 1-second interval
movement to 2-second interval movement (insufficient charging warning
feature). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the
watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed after the second hand has
switched to 2-second interval movement. When this happens, charge the watch
by exposing it to light until the second hand returns to 1-second interval
movement.
Notes: • During chronograph
measurement, measurement
stops and the chronograph
second hand is reset to the 0
seconds position.
• The chronograph minute hand
stops at any arbitrary position.
Return it to the 0 minutes position
by pressing button (A).
