artificial light.
When the watch has stopped operating, the second
hand will start moving at 2-second intervals.
If the watch is charged by exposing it to strong light
such as sunlight, the power reserve indicator may
not show the remaining power reserve amount
properly. Make sure to charge the watch sufficiently
by referring to GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/
ACCURACY.
2 Keep the watch exposed to the light until
the second hand moves at 1-second
intervals.

Caution for charging
lWhen charging the watch, do not place it too close to a photoflash
light, spotlight, incandescent light or other light sources as the
watch temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to
the parts inside the watch.
lWhen exposing the watch to sunlight to charge it, do not leave
it on the dashboard of a car, etc., for a long time, as the watch
temperature will become extremely high.
lWhile charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does
not exceed 60 °C.
CAUTION
OVERCHARGING PREVENTION FUNCTION
No matter how long the secondary battery is charged, the performance of the
watch will not be degraded. When the secondary battery becomes fully charged,
the overcharging prevention function will be automatically activated to prevent it
from being charged further.
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
The power reserve indicator can be used to check the power reserve amount
(continuous operating time).

• The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which
the watch keeps operating without needing to be charged.
• When the power reserve indicator indicates Low level, the second hand moves at two-
second intervals, and will stop within 48 hours.
• If the watch is charged by exposing it to strong light such as sunlight, the power reserve

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 intervals
instead of the normal 1-second intervals. The watch remains accurate
even while the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals.
lWhen this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it
to light. Otherwise, the watch will stop operating within 48 hours. (For
recharging the watch, see HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH.)
• While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot be activated.
This is not a malfunction.
• If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch is operating,
the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch hands will return to the “0”
position.
• While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the alarm cannot be engaged (ON).
• If the time reaches the alarm time while the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the
alarm will not sound, and the alarm will be automatically disengaged (OFF).
vTO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
•When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by
clothing.
•When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as
possible.
NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
l The battery used in this watch is a rechargeable battery, which is different

lDo not remove the rechargeable battery yourself. Replacement of
the rechargeable battery requires professional knowledge and skill.
