F. Handling Your Solar Powered Watch
<Always make sure to recharge frequently>
◆ Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch may stop as a result of being covered by your
sleeve and blocked from the light.
◆ When you take off the watch, try to place it in as bright a location as possible. This will ensure that
it willcontinue to run properly.
CAUTION Recharging Precautions
◆ Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C or higher) as doing so may cause the
movement to malfunction.
Example:
• Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates a large amount of heat such as an
incandescent lamp or halogen lamp.
* When charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to leave 50cm or more between the lamp and
the watch to avoid exposing the watch to excessive heat.
• Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may become extremely high such as on the
dashboard of a vehicle.
<Replacement of Rechargeable Cell>
Because the watch uses a rechargeable cell, you do not need periodical cell replacement.
However, power consumption may increase after using for an extended period of time due to
deterioration, and the power may run out earlier than expected. To avoid this, we recommend that you
have your watch inspected (Charge basis) periodically.
