FEATURES OF THE SOLAR WATCH
This watch is a solar-powered watch containing a solar cell underneath
the dial to convert any form of light into "electrical energy" and store the
power in a secondary battery.
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this watch does not use a silver oxide
battery, thus eliminating the need for battery replacement.
P.1

HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
Charging the watch
When you start the watch or when the energy remaining in the secondary
battery is very low, charge it sufficiently by exposing the watch to light.
1. Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than 1,000
Lx. See ‘Guidelines for charging time’ table for reference at the final page).
When the watch has stopped operating, the small second hand will start
moving at two-second intervals.
The small second hand is moving at two-second intervals, but the energy
stored in the secondary battery is not yet sufficient. If the watch is turned
away from the light, it may stop operating. It is not necessary to charge
the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch sufficiently,
especially in the case of initial charging.
2. Keep the watch exposed to the light until the small second hand moves at
one-second intervals.
3. When the watch is charged after it has completely stopped, set the date
and time before wearing the watch.
P.2

Caution
When charging the watch, do not place it too close to fluorescent lamp
or other light sources as the watch temperature will become extremely high,
causing damage to the parts inside the watch.
To prevent energy depletion
• Avoid covering the watch face with your clothing while wearing it.
• When the watch is not in use, leave it in a brightly lit place for as long as
possible.
Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50°C.
Running time
Expected running time from full charge to stoppage will be around 6
months. But this may vary to conditions of use, wear and storage.
P.3

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE UNSCREWING THE
CROWN:
SCREW-DOWN CROWN
Screw-down crowns are used to ensure water resistance. ALWAYS be certain that your
crown is securely screwed down (Position [0] is secured. Positions [1] and [2]are not
secured for water resistance). Do NOT unscrew your crown while you are in any
environment where moisture is present.

DO NOT PULL THE CROWN UNLESS IT IS UNSCREWED FIRST:
TO UNSCREW: Turn the crown anti-clockwise until it turns freely
without tension.
GENTLY pull the crown out to the other desired positions for
watch setting (see specific operating instructions on the following
pages).
TO SCREW:Push the crown ALL THE WAY IN (towards the
watch) THEN begin to turn clockwise until it is securely screwed
down.
NOTE: Failure to SECURELY screw down the crown after setting the watch may affect its
water resistance.

TIME SETTING
1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [2].
* When the stopwatch is in operation, if the crown is pulled
out to position [2], it will automatically reset the stopwatch
hands to ‘0’ position (12o’clock position).
2. Turn the crown to set the correct time.
* Take a.m./p.m. into consideration when setting the hour
and minute hands to the desired time.
* Confirm the correct setting of the time by aligning the
24H display. (E.g. 6pm will real as 18 on the 24H Hand)
3. Push the crown in then screw it securely.
DATE SETTING
1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position [1].
2. Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct date.
3. Push the crown in then screw it securely.
* Do not set the date between 9:00 P.M. and 1:00 A.M.

STANDARD MEASUREMENT
START STOP RESET
• The stopwatch can measure up to 59'59''8 in 1/5 second increments.
• When the measurement reaches 60 minutes, the stopwatch automatically
stops counting.
• The stopwatch 1/5 second hand is capable of timing 60 minutes.
(60 seconds x 60 times)
• The stopwatch minute hand is capable of timing 60 minutes.
• Before using the stopwatch, be sure to check that the crown is set at the
normal position [0]and that the stopwatch hands are reset to the "0" position
(12 o’clock position).
* If the stopwatch hands do not return to the "0" position when the stopwatch
is reset to "0", follow the procedure in "Stopwatch hands position adjustment" (Page 10).

POWER DEPLETION WARNING FUNCTION
When the energy stored in the secondary battery is reduced to an
extremely low level, the small second hand starts moving at two-second
intervals instead of the normal one-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 1 week.
SYSTEM RESET
When an abnormal display appears, reset the built-in integrated circuit.

(*) The values in this column represent the charging times required until the small second hand
moves constantly at one-second intervals after the watch starts operating with the small second
hand moving at two-second intervals.
Even if the watch is not charged for the time specified in the column, the small second
hand may temporarily move at one-second intervals. But it will soon resume moving at
two-second intervals; therefore, charge the watch for more than the specified period.
