You cannot use any mode other than
[TME] . ( → page 12)
The settings of the other modes are initialized. (
→ page 37)
The mode automatically changes to
[TME] as the function is
activated.
7 Charging the battery
This watch has a battery which is charged by exposing the dial to light such as direct
sunlight or fluorescent lamps.
To obtain the best performance
• Expose the dial to direct sunlight for several hours at least once a month.
• After taking off the watch, put it where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as
by a window.
• Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended period of time, fully charge
the battery.
When the watch is covered with long sleeves, for example, the battery may not be charged
sufficiently. Try to keep the watch exposed to light even when wearing the watch.
Charging the battery
Do not charge the battery at a high temperature (about 50˚C/122˚F or higher).
7 When the battery becomes short of power—Insufficient charge
warning function
• After the battery is charged for a while, the second hand will
move normally.
• If you have not charged the battery for four days or more since
the warning movement began, the battery will run out and the
watch will stop.
When the battery becomes short of power, the second hand moves once every two
seconds—insufficient charge warning function. Charge the battery by exposing the
dial to light.

7 Charging time
Below are the approximate values for when exposing the dial to light continuously.
Use the table below only as a reference.
Charging the battery
This watch has the “Eco-Drive” system, which
converts light into electrical energy using the
solar cell beneath the dial. The system makes
you free from care of battery replacement and
is environment-friendly as no battery disposal is
required.
<After the battery is fully charged—Overcharge
prevention function>
After the battery is fully charged, charging automatically
stops to prevent overcharging, which may damage
the battery, or affect the accuracy, functions, and
performance of the watch.
