7. Ready for use
In order to keep your Junghans multi-frequency radio-controlled
solar-powered watch ready for use, it should be kept in a very well lit
place. Please ensure that the solar watch face does not get covered
for any prolonged period by items of clothing as this may impair the
watch’s operational functionality.
If the power reserves have run out, hold your watch in bright light to
recharge it. How long it takes to charge up is dependent on the intensi-
ty of the light source and the design of the solar watch face. The times
given in the table on page 43 serve as a guide.
8. Charge level indicator on watches using solar power
With the power store fully charged, the Junghans J615.84 multi-fre-
quency radio-controlled solar-powered movement has power reserves
to last up to 21 months. The LC display provides information on the
power status:
[º ¡] The date or the reception indicator is being shown. The watch is
fully operational.
[
] The date is shown, ashing alternately with [Lo]. The watch needs
light / energy. Please charge up the power store until the display
stops ashing.
[
] The two bars ash at 10-second intervals. The watch is already
charging, but not yet operational. Continue to expose the watch
to a light source (see 8.1 and 9.2).
[ ] No display: after 72 hours without light intake the multi-fre-
quency radio-controlled solar watch has activated sleep mode. To
start up the watch expose the solar dial briey to a light source
or press one of the buttons. As the watch will not attempt recep-
tion during sleep mode, the time will be set back to the quartz
movement basis – the hands revert to this time. To receive the
current radio time again the multi-frequency radio-controlled
solar watch will commence automatic reception with the next
full minute.
[ ] No display, hands are stopped: the energy store of the multi-fre-
quency radio-controlled solar watch is completely discharged,
please place the watch in a light source (see chapter 8.1).
