Note:
When the indicator shows 0 (when no portions of the graphic display are
showing), this means that the secondary battery is nearly completely worn down
and the second hand begins to move at 2-second interval movement. The
watch will stop running as a result of being insufficiently charged about 1.5 days
later. Sufficiently charge the watch to level 2 or level 3 by exposing the solar cell
to light while referring to the section on General Reference for Charging Times.
