Power Supply
The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate
electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using
or storing the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or
allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve for long periods
as you are wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable
battery to run down. To ensure stable operation, be sure to allow
the watch to be exposed to light as much as possible when you
are wearing or storing it.
Important!
Note that all data in memory and all settings are cleared whenever
you allow the level of the rechargeable battery to drop to Level 4.

• Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may
cause the battery level indicator to momentarily indicate a level
that is higher than the actual battery level. Because of this, you
should wait for a short while after charging to check the battery
level indicator.
• When the battery level approaches Level 3, the indicator below
L-CHG of the battery level indicator will start to flash, and the
analog hands will move to the 12 o'clock position.
• Even after the battery drops to Level 4, you will be able to resume
normal operation by charging the battery.
• When charging from Level 4, the display will start operating when
the battery reaches Level 3. At this time, you will be able to
configure digital time and date settings only. The analog hands will
start to operate when the battery reaches Level 2. At that time,
adjust the analog hand setting so it matches the digital time.
• When charging the battery, keep the watch exposed to light until
the battery reaches Level 2 or Level 1.

❚ Charging Precautions
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere
else where the watch may become very hot.
• On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun
• Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of
heat
• In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
Note that the display panel may become black under very high
temperatures. This is temporary, and the display will return to
normal at lower temperatures.
Depending on the light source you are using, the
case of the watch may become quite hot during
charging. Take care to guard against burn injury
after charging.
❚ To charge the battery
Point the solar panel (face) of the watch at a light source.
• Remember that even a partial blockage of the solar cell reduces
charging efficiency.
Example: Positioning the watch
