• To charge the rechargeable cell, it is recommended to expose the dial to
direct sunlight. A fluorescent lamp or interior lighting does not have sufficient
illumination to charge the rechargeable cell.
•
When the battery is fully charged, the overcharge protection function stops the charging so
that the watch performance and rechargeable cell are not adversely affected by overcharge.
