kThe values in this column represent the charging times required until the second
hand moves constantly at 1-second intervals after the watch starts operating
with the second hand moving at 2-second intervals.
The above table provides only general guidelines.
When you start the watch or when the energy
in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an
extremely low level, charge it sufficiently by
exposing the watch to light.

HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE
• Evenifthewatchisnotchargedforthetimespeciedinthecolumn,thesecond
hand may temporarily move at 1-second intervals. But it will soon resume
movingat2-secondintervals,andtherefore,chargethewatchformorethanthe
specified period.
• Whenthewatchisfullycharged,itwillcontinuetooperateforabout6months.
• When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a hot light source
such as a photoash light, spotlight or incandescent light as this can
greatly raise the watch temperature.
• When charging the watch by sunlight, do not leave it exposed to the sun
for a long time, on the dashboard of a car, etc.. as this can greatly raise
the watch temperature.
• Make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50°C while charging,
to avoid damage to the parts inside.

NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH
TIME SETTING
l It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a 30-day month and
February.
lDo not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m., as the date may not
change properly. If it is necessary to set the date during that period of time,
first change the time to any time outside of this period, set the date, and then
reset to the correct time.
DATE SETTING
lWhen the time is set, the 24-hour hand move correspondingly with the hour
and minute hands.
lWhen setting the hour hand, check that the 24-hour hand is correctly set.

NOTES ON POWER SUPPLY
CAUTION
lNever insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch
as it may explode, generate an intense heat or catch re. The
watch is designed not to operate even if the battery is installed
in it.
lThis watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive use
with the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches, there-
fore, battery replacement is not necessary.
lThe solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the
natural environment.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
lWhen the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an
extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second inter-
vals instead of the normal 1-second intervals.
lIn that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to
light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 1 week.
u To prevent the energy depletion
• When you wear the watch, try not to keep it covered by your
clothes.
• When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long
as possible.
* Makesurethatthewatchtemperaturedoesnotexceed50°C.

We recommend that you wear a PULSAR Diver’s
watch for scuba diving.

• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused.
This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as
corresponding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends
to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on
diving into water.
