Notes Before Use
Notes Before Use
• When the watch is regularly covered with long sleeves, it may not be charged
suciently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light sucient for charging.
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60ºC/140˚F or higher).
◆Notes before use - Protective stickers
Prior to the watch being shipped from the manufacturing plant, its glass, case,
metal band, and metal parts of the clasp are covered with stickers to protect
them from getting fingerprints or scratches during transit from the plant to the
store. If the watch is worn without first removing these stickers, perspiration
or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts,
which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
For this reason, please be sure to peel off the stickers before wearing the watch.
◆Notes on charging your watch
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to
light, such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps. After taking off the watch,
put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a
window.
For optimal performance, perform the following:
• Expose the watch with the dial facing towards direct
sunlight for five to six hours at least once a month.
• Do not store the watch in a dark place with no light
for a prolonged period of time.

Eco-Drive (solar powered) Watch Handling Precautions
<Always be Sure to Expose Your Watch to Light Regularly>
• Your watch enjoys regular exposure to light. Wearing in situations that prevent light exposure such
as long shirt or coat sleeves will prevent your watch from receiving light sufficient for charging. In
these instances, supplemental charging may be needed.
• When you take your watch off, try and place it in a bright location. This will ensure your watch
receives light for charging and will continue to operate properly. Storing your watch in dark places
for extended periods of time may cause the stored energy to become depleted and your watch to
stop.
CAUTION Recharging Precautions
• Do not charge your watch at high temperatures (60°C/140°F) as
this may cause damage to sensitive components and the watch to
malfunction.
Examples:
• Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates
a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or
halogen lamp.
* When charging your watch under an incandescent lamp,
be sure to leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inches) distance between
the lamp and the watch to avoid excessive heat. Never use a
halogen lamp for recharging as these generate excessive heat.
• Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may become extremely high such as on
the dashboard of a vehicle.
