A. BEFORE USING
This watch is not powered by a conventional battery, but is powered by converting light
to electrical energy.
Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for approximately 6 months without
additional charging. We do recommend exposing your watch to light every day to
ensure optimum performance. Always be sure to recharge the watch before it stops.
Your watch features an Overcharge Prevention Function so there is no need to worry
about overcharging your watch.
A special rechargeable cell is used to store electrical energy. This special cell does not
require replacement and is a clean energy unit that does not use any toxic substances.
Before using, be sure to fully charge your watch by exposing it to light.
(See “F. Time required for charging”, for charge time reference)

C. FUNCTIONS OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH
If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning function will operate and the display
changes, as below.

7
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 4
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.)
■Overcharge Prevention Function
You can recharge your watch without worry.
Once the special rechargeable cell is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function
comes into operation and prevents over-charging of the rechargeable cell.
■Insufficient Charge Warning Function

D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING
■Notes on Use
To maintain optimal performance, be sure to expose your watch to light regularly.
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, your watch may be hidden from light and
may result in insufficient charging. As such, additional exposure to light may be
necessary.

Never place your watch on the dashboard or rear deck of a vehicle as the heat
generated in these areas can damage your watch.

E. ABOUT THE RECHARGEABLE CELL
Unlike ordinary watches, the special rechargeable cell used in your watch does not
need regular replacement. This is a clean energy cell that will last the life of the
watch.
CAUTION:
The energy cell should last the life of the watch. Never allow anyone other than an
AuthorizedServiceCentertoreplacethiscell.Themovementisdesignedtooperate

G. IN THESE CASES
[If the watch warns that the energy is running short]
The second hand starts moving at two second intervals in
order to warn that the watch will stop functioning after about
1 week. (Insufficient Charge Warning Function)
In such a case, expose your watch to light for a while to
cancel the warning. (The second hand returns to moving at
one second intervals when the energy is recharged.)
If the watch is left short of energy, it will stop functioning
after 4 days or so.
Two second
interval movement

13
[If the watch warns you to set the time.]
When the watch that has stopped is exposed to light, the
second hand starts two second interval movement (Quick
Start Function). The time elapsed before the second hand
starts moving depends on the illuminance of the light.
Even so, the second hand continues the two second interval
movement to tell you that the watch indicates an incorrect
time because it had stopped.
In such a case, set the hands to the correct time.
* If the watch is insufficiently exposed to light, the second
hand will soon switch to moving at two second intervals in
order to warn that the energy is running short.

I. WHEN USING FOR DIVING
Precautions when Using during Diving:
* When using a diver's watch, please make sure that you have received the
proper education and training for various types of diving, and observe all
rules.
* Please make sure to use the watch properly based on a thorough
understanding of watch handling and precautions. Please note that
failure to operate the watch in a manner not described in the user's
manual may prevent the watch from functioning properly.

16
<Before Diving>
* Please make sure that the crown is pushed in firmly and the screw is securely
tightened.
* Please check that the band is securely attached to the watch.
* Please confirm that there are no cracks, scratches, chips or other abnormalities in
the band and glass.
* Please check that the rotating bezel rotates properly.
* Please check that the time and date are set correctly.
* Please check that the second hand is moving properly.
If the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, this means that the watch is
not sufficiently charged. Sufficiently charge the watch when this occurs.
<During Diving>
* Never attempt to turn or pull out the crown underwater. This can cause defective
water resistance or other malfunction.
