A. BEFORE USING
This watch is powered not by an ordinary battery, but by converting photo
energy to electrical energy.
Before using, expose to light and make sure the watch is sufficiently
charged.
See "G. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING" for charging time reference.
A rechargeable cell is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This
rechargeable cell is a clean energy battery which doesn't use any toxic
substances such as mercury. Once fully charged, the watch will continue
to run for about 6 months without further charging.
To use this watch comfortably, make sure that the watch is always recharged
before it stops.
There is no concern for overcharging this watch. (Overcharge Prevention
Function is included)
We recommend that you recharge the watch everyday.

B. SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
*If the crown is of the screw- type, set the time and calendar after first loosening
the screw. Retighten the screw after the time and calendar have been set.

■Setting the Time
(1) Pull the crown out to the time correction position. (The second hand stops
when the crown is pulled out.)
(2) Turn the crown to set the 24 hour hand and minute hand to the current
time. At this time, the movement of the hour hand is linked with the
movement of the 24 hour hand.
(3) Push the crown back in to the normal position. (The second hand begins
to move when the crown is pushed in.)
(4) Pull the crown out to the date correction position. (1st click position)
(5) Turn the crown to the right (clockwise direction) and set the hour hand to the
current time. Pay attention to AM and PM since the location of the hour hand
where the date changes is approximately 12:00 midnight.
(6) Securely return the crown to the normal position.
Reading the Time Based on a 24-Hour Clock
Read the time on the inside (1:00 to 12:00) with the short hand of the 24 hour
hand, and the time on the outside (13:00 to 24:00) with the long hand.

■Setting the Date
(1) Pull the crown out to the date correction position.
(2) Turn the crown to the left (counter-clockwise direction) and set the date.
(3) Securely return the crown to the normal position.
* Since the date is linked to movement of the hour hand, the date changes
when the hour hand approaches 12:00 midnight. Please note this
operation when using as a dual time watch.
* Do not attempt to correct the calendar when the hour hand is between the
hours of 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM. Setting the calendar during this time may
result in the date not changing on the following day.

C. USING AS A DUAL TIME WATCH
This watch allows the hour hand only to be corrected independently without
stopping the watch. It can be used as a dual time watch by setting the 24 hour
hand and hour hand to different times. After correcting the time, the hour hand
is used to indicate the "local time hours".

■Correcting the Local Time Hours
(1) Pull the crown out to the local time correction position. (1st click position)
(2) Turn the crown to the right (clockwise direction) and set the hour hand to the
desired time. The hour hand can be corrected in +1 hour increments in the
clockwise direction. Set the time while paying attention to AM and PM.
(3) Securely return the crown to the normal position.
* The hour hand cannot be corrected in the counter-clockwise direction. The
date changes when the crown is turned to the left (counter-clockwise). In
addition, since the calendar is linked with the operation of the hour hand, it
may be necessary to correct the calendar after correcting the hour hand
depending on the time to which the hour hand was set.

If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning function will operate and the
display changes, as below.

■Insufficient Charge Warning Function
The second hand changes to a two second
interval movement to indicate insufficient
recharging.
Even in such a case, the watch keeps correct
time, but about 3 days after the two second
interval movement begins, the watch will stop.
After exposing the watch to light, recharging takes
place and the watch returns to one second
interval movement.
■Quick Start Function
The watch will stop if it is completely discharged.
It will begin to operate soon after it is exposed to light.
(However, the time to start may vary according to the brightness of the light.)

■Time Setting Warning Function
If the watch stops, subsequent exposure to light
allows the Quick Start Function to start again, and
the second hand moves with a hitch to
indicate that the time incorrect.
In this case, quickly recharge the watch and reset
the time.
Otherwise, the hitch movement will continue.
■Overcharge Prevention Function
There is no risk of overcharging.
Once the rechargeable cell is fully recharged, the overcharging prevention
feature comes into operation and prevents overcharging.

E. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING
■Notes on use
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 the watch off, place it in as bright a place as possible, and it
will always continue to run properly.
■Notes On recharging
• Avoid recharging at high temperatures (over about 60°C/140°F), otherwise the
watch will be damaged during recharging.
(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.
When you charge the watch with an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or other
light source that generates heat, take a distance about 50cm (20in.) from the
light source to prevent extremely high temperature.

F. REPLACING THE RECHARGEABLE CELL
Unlike ordinary batteries, the rechargeable cell used in this watch doesn't
have to be periodically replaced due to repeated charging and discharging.
CAUTION
Never use another battery different from the rechargeable cell 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. In case a different kind of 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 to the human
body.

G. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING

etc.) and operating environment. The following table will serve you as rough

H. USING THE SLIDE RULE
Flying distance and other navigation
calculations as well as general
calculations can be performed using
the slide rule located around the
outside of the dial. This slide rule is
not able to display decimal places for
calculation results, and should only
be used as a general reference as an
alternative to more accurate
calculations. Turning the crown at the
8:00 position allows the slide rule
around the dial (Outside Scale) to be
rotated.

A. Navigation Calculator
1. Calculation of time required
Question: How long does it take an airplane flying at 180 knots to fly a
distance of 450 nautical miles?
Solution: Set the 18 mark on the outside scale to the SPEED INDEX ( ▲). At
this time, the point on the inside scale that is aligned with 45 on the
outside scale indicates (2:30), and the answer is 2 hours and 30
minutes.

2. Speed (Ground Speed) Calculation
Question: What is the speed (ground speed) of an airplane when it takes 1
hour and 20 minutes to fly a distance of 240 nautical miles?
Solution: Align the 24 on the outside scale with 1:20 (80) on the inside scale.
At this time, 18 is aligned with the SPEED INDEX (▲) on the inside
scale, and the answer is 180 Kt.

3. Flying distance calculation
Question: What is the flying distance traveled in 40 minutes at a speed of
210 knots?
Solution: Align the 21 on the outside scale with the SPEED INDEX (▲) of
the inside scale. The 40 of the inside scale is now pointing to 14,
and the answer is 140 nautical miles.
