5. FUNCTIONS UNIQUE TO SOLAR-POWERED WATCHES
When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the following warning features
will be activated to inform the wearer that the watch is insufficiently charged.
<Insufficient Charging Warning Feature>
Regardless of the display of the watch at the time, when the watch becomes
insufficiently charged, the watch changes to the time display and the second hand
moves to the CHARGE position to inform the wearer that it is insufficiently
charged. After the second hand moves to the CHARGE position, the watch changes to
the time display in the order of the 24-hour hand, hour hand, minute hand and
date wheel (function hand). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately
at this time, the watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed (roughly 2 days in
the case the hands have been moved to switch the time when the insufficient
charging warning feature is activated).
When this happens, charge the watch by
exposing to light so that it returns to
one-second-interval movement. However,
since the time is incorrect when the
watch is exposed to light and changes
to the insufficient charging warning
display after it has stopped due to
insufficient charging, set the time
after sufficiently charging the watch.
