SOLAR-POWERED WATCH
This timepiece is provided with a rechargeable
battery for exclusive use with the watch. Unlike
with conventional battery-powered watches,
therefore, battery replacement is not necessary.
Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial
light for charging.
The solar cell is a clean energy source and has no
adverse effect on the natural environment.
FEATURES
1.Solar-powered 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.
2.Eliminating the need for battery replacement
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this watch
does not use a silver oxide battery, thus
eliminating the need for battery replacement.
3.You can use the dial which light transmittance
is more than 30%
It is possible to assemble the dial which
transmits light on the solar cell.
It enabled to cover the solar cell color, and you
can design variety colors of dials.
4.Running time
Expected running time from full charge to
stoppage will be around 6 months.
5.Power depletion warning function
The two-second intervals movement of the
second hand is a signal of energy depletion.
The watch continuous running time after
two-second intervals movement is approximate-
ly 1 week.
6.Over charge prevent function is equipped
If the secondary battery is charged more than
predetermined voltage, over charge prevent
function is operated to prevent the secondary
battery deterioration and breakage.

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], [2] and [3] are not secured for water
resistance).
Do NOT unscrew your crown while you are in any
environment where moisture is present.

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.

HOW TO SET THE TIME
1. Unscrew the crown and pull it out to position
[3]-(2nd click).
2. Turn the crown clockwise to set the correct time.
3. Push the crown in then screw it securely.
* Take a.m./p.m. into consideration when setting
the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
* Always be certain that your crown is SECURELY
SCREWED; this will prevent moisture from
entering in.

GUIDELINES FOR CHARGING
TIME
The below table provides only general guidelines.
Condition A: Time required for full charge.
Condition B: Time required for steady operation.
Condition C: Time required for 1 day’s charge.
(*) 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.

WATER RESISTANCE
The water resistance indicated on your timepiece
serves only as a guide. Actual water resistance
may vary depending on a number of important
factors including temperature, water salinity, and
actual use under water.
The water resistance of your timepiece may
eventually be compromised over time with general
wear and tear and the use of your watch under
adverse conditions.
Always remember to employ the screw down crown
(if available) to maintain the water resistance of
your timepiece. Warranty may be voided if the
screw down crown has not been properly
employed.
Note that you should NEVER wear your watch in a
jacuzzi, hot shower or steam room where steam
may enter the case despite the watertight seals
used to protect your watch.
The steam may cause condensation inside your
watch, which may affect and damage the inner
workings of your watch – which would also not be
covered by the warranty.
