HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
lWhen 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.
lInstant-start function:
When the watch is exposed to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than
1,000 lux), it will start operating immediately with the second hand moving at
2-second intervals.
1. E xpos e t he wa t ch to s unl igh t or str o ng
artificial light.
• When the watch has stopped operating, the second
hand will start moving at 2-second intervals.
2. Keep the watch exposed to the light until the
second hand moves at 1-second intervals.
3. W hen t h e watc h i s c har g e d a f t e r it ha s
completely stopped, set the date and time
before wearing the watch.
• See “GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY” .

NOTES:
1. When the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light,
the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals immediately, but the energy
stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If the watch is turned away
from the light, it may stop operating.
2. It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge
the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.
Caution for charging
lWh en charging the watc h, do not plac e 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 becomes
extremely high.
lWhile charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
exceed 50 °C. (For Cal. V110, V145, V181 and V182)
lWhile charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
exceed 60 °C. (For Cal. V111)

NOTES:
1. Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not
change properly.
• If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time
to any time outside it, set the date and then reset the correct time.
2. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
• The watch is so designed that the date changes once in 24 hours. Turn the
hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the
A.M. or P.M. period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M. period.
If the date does not change, the time is set for the P.M. period.
3. When setting the minute hand, first advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired
time and then turn it back to the exact minute.
4. It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
1. Pull out the crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown to set the desired time.
3. Push back the crown completely (in
accordance with a time signal for a
three-hand model.)
lModels with two/three hands
lModels with date
1. Pull out the crown to the first click and
set the previous day's date.
2. Pull out the crown to the second click
when th e sec on d hand is a t th e 12
o'clock position.
3. Turn the crown until the desired date
appears.
4. Turn t he crow n to set the hour and

uThe watch operates while charging
electricity by converting light
received on the dial to electrical
energy. It cannot properly operate
unless the remaining energy is
sufficient. Place or store the watch
in a location receiving light etc., to
sufficiently charge electricity.
• When the watch is stopped or
the second hand starts moving
at 2-second intervals (for models
with a second hand,) charge the
watch by exposing it to light.
• The time required for charging
the watch varies depending on
the calibres. Check the caliber
of your watch engraved on the
back cover.
• It is recommended that the
watch be charged for as long as
the charging time "B" to assure
the stable movement of the
watch.

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
vTO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
●When 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.
●In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light.
Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 3 days. (For recharging the
watch, see “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”)
•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.
* Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50 °C.
NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
lThis watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive use with
the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches, therefore, battery
replacement is not necessary.
lThe solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the natural
environment.
●Never insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch as it may
explode, generate an intense heat or catch fire. The watch is so designed
that if a wrong batter y is installed in the wa tch, the watch will not
operate.
CAUTION
lTo unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting)
lTo screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.
