◆How to charge and start the watch
■ Charging the watch
When you start the watch or when the energy remaining in the secondary battery is very low, charge it sufficiently by exposing the
watch to light.
-It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch sufficiently, especially in the case of initial charging.
■ Caution
When charging the watch, do not place it too close to fluorescent lamp or other light sources as the watch temperature will become
extremely high, causing damage to the parts inside the watch.
■ To prevent energy depletion
• Avoid covering the watch face with your clothing while wearing it.
• When the watch is not in use, leave it in a brightly lit place for as long as possible.
• Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50℃.

◆How to set time
(1) Pull the crown out to the 2nd click position when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position.
(2) Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands.
Take a.m./p.m. into consideration when setting the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
- When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact time.
(3) Push the crown back to the normal position.

◆Guidelines for charging time
The below table provides only general guidelines.
Condition A : Time required for full charge
Condition B : Time required for steady operation
Condition C : Time required for 1 day's charge
Even if the watch is not charged for the time specified in the column, the second hand may temporarily move at one-second
intervals. But it will soon resume moving at two-second intervals; therefore, charge the watch for more than the specified period.
(*) The values in this column represent the charging times required until the second hand moves constantly at one-second intervals
after the watch starts operating with the second hand moving at two-second intervals.

◆Features of the solar watch
This watch is a solar-powered watch containing a solar cell underneath the dial to convert any form of light into "electrical energy" and
store the power in a secondary battery.
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this watch does not use a silver oxide battery, thus eliminating the need for battery replacement.
■ Running time
Expected running time from full charge to stoppage will be around 4 months.
◆Power depletion warning function
When the energy stored in the secondary battery is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at two-second
intervals instead of the normal one-second intervals. In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise,
the watch may stop operating in about 1 day.
