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).
When the watch has stopped operating, the
small second hand will start moving at
two-second intervals.
- The small second hand immediately starts
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
3
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 start usually moving at
one-second inrtervals.
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.
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.
