When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals whether it is
worn or left untouched, the watch may run down within approximately 24
hours.

In such a case, swing the watch from side to side to sufficiently charge the re-
chargeable battery (refer to "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH" on
page 6), and then reset the time and calendar.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION

When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started
quickly with only a few swings.

fully-charged watch stops working.
Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the re-
chargeable battery. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
