3. BEFORE USING
A rechargeable battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This
rechargeable battery is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or
other toxic substances. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for
about 9 months without additional charging (when the power save feature is
operating). This rechargeable battery is not a user replaceable item.
This watch is a solar-powered watch. Before using this watch, expose its
solar cell to light sufficiently to charge its rechargeable battery.
If this watch has stopped running because of insufficient charge of this
rechargeable battery, recharge this battery by exposing the solar cell to
strong light such as the sunlight.
• Power Save Feature
When power generation stops as a result of light not shining on the solar cell
during the time display or local time display, the second hand stops at the 12:00
position and only the hour and minute hands move to save power. When light once
again begins to shine on the solar cell, the second hand advances rapidly to the
current seconds and returns to moving at one second intervals. If light (several
tens of luxes) does not shine on the solar cell for continuous 15 seconds (this
period depends on the design, however) and the second hand comes to the 12:00
position, the watch enters the power save mode.
<How to Use This Solar-Powered Watch Properly>
To use this watch comfortably, make sure to recharge it before it stops running
completely. Since there is no risk of overcharging (Overcharging Prevention
Feature), it is recommended that the watch be recharged everyday.
