2. Before Using
A secondary battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This sec-
ondary battery is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or other
toxic substances. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for about 9
months without additional charging (when the power save feature is operating).
VPower Save Feature
When power generation stops as a result of light not shining on the solar cell dur-
ing the time display or local time display, the second hand stops at the 12:00 posi-
tion and only the hour and minute hands move to save power. When light once
again begins to shine on the solar cell, the second hand advances rapidly to the
current seconds and returns to moving at one second intervals.
<Proper Use of this Watch>
To use this watch comfortably, make sure to recharge it before it stops running
completely. Since there is no risk of overcharging (Overcharging Prevention Fea-
ture), it is recommended that the watch be recharged everyday.
1. Features
This watch is a solar-powered watch that contains a solar cell in its face that dri-
ves the watch by converting light energy into electrical energy. It is equipped
with numerous functions including a full-auto calendar that changes the date auto-
matically (day, month and year change automatically through February 28, 2100
including leap years), a daily alarm function that can be set based on a 24-hour
clock, and a chronograph function that allows measurement of time in 1/20 sec-
ond units up to 59 minutes, 59.95 seconds.
