After taking off the watch, put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright light,
such as by a window.
The watch can be charged effectively when the dial is exposed to sunlight as shown in
the figure.

charging may be needed to ensure continual operation.
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C (140°F) or higher) as
doing so may cause movement malfunction.
• If the surrounding temperature falls below 0°C (32°F) or exceeds 40°C (104°F), the
“Charge suspension temperature detection function” will activate and charging will
not be possible.

Charging your watch
• When the power reserve is at the CHARGE level, the second hand indicates the
insufficient charge warning state (by moving once every two seconds). You can
manually correct the time and calendar, but you cannot perform the other operations
and receive satellite signals.
• When the watch temperature is too high or too low or
when the watch is not sufficiently charged due to low
illuminance, the function indication makes one
clockwise turn to indicate the day of the week. This
indication means the uncharged state (that is, the watch
is not charged). Place the watch in a bright location at a
moderate temperature to charge it.
