1. Your Watch 2. Operating the Crown iThis watch includes a solar cell surrounding its face and is driven by converting solar energy into electric energy. There are two models available for the crown: normal and screw lock. In the case of normal crown watch, simply pull out the crown. Other Features 1. For the date, the numbered day of the month is indicated using a special hand, and the month and day of the week are indicated in display windows. 2. The watch is equipped with a moon phase indicator.
3. Part Names Day of week (English only) Second hand Day hand Month adjustment button Month (English only) LUse an object with a slender tip to press the hidden push button.
4. Setting the Time and Date When adjusting both the time and date, it is convenient to make settings in the order of "day of week", "moon phase", "month and day of month", and then "time of day". When the day Adjusting the day of week • Crown in position 2 • Turn the crown to the right (The day of week begins changing at the 12:00 position. To change to the next day of week, make the hour hand go around twice.
5. Adjusting the Time and Date Adjusting the day of week 1. Pull out the crown to position 2 (time and day of week adjustment). 2. Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) to set the day of week for the current day. • The day of week begins to change starting at about midnight and is finished changing by about 5:00 a.m. Day of month Crown Moon phase 10 The moon phase indicator does not display the exact shape of the moon. Use it as a guide to estimate the moon phase.
Adjusting the day of month and month Month adjustment button Crown Position 1 1. Pull out the crown to position 1 (date adjustment position). 2. Adjust the day of month and the month. • The day of month rotates to the right when the crown is turned to the left. • Pressing the month adjustment button changes the month. [When the day of month to be set is from the 3rd to the 30th] A Turn the crown to the left to set the day hand to the current day of the month.
Setting the Time Crown Position 2 1. When the second hand reaches the 12:00 position, pull out the crown to position 2 (time adjustment position). 2. Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) to adjust the time. Adjust the time while paying attention to a.m./p.m. by noting the time at which the date changes. 3. Set the time to the time signal time, etc. and return the crown to the normal position. [NOTE] A If you adjust the day of month when a time between 9:00 p.m.
Solar Power 6. Solar Power Function This watch uses a secondary battery to store electrical energy. When the watch is fully charged, it will maintain its accuracy for about 6 months. j Wearing clothes with long sleeves makes it difficult for the watch to get the necessary light, resulting in insufficient charging. We recommended that you charge the watch for a long time in direct sunlight once a month. Always store the watch in a bright location for best results.
7.
Insufficient Charge Warning Function When the watch is insufficiently charged, the second hand begins moving at 2-second intervals to notify you that the watch charge is insufficient. Although the watch keeps accurate time during this period, the watch will stop completely if operation with an insufficient charge continues 2 second for approximately three or more days. Restore 2 second the 1-second interval movement of the second hand by subjecting the watch to light so that it recharges.
CAUTION Guide to Charging Time The charging time varies according to the model (including the color of the watch face). The following data should only be used as a guideline. * The charging time is based on continuous exposure.
Precautions For correct use within the design limits of the watch, confirm the level of waterresistance of your watch, as indicated on the dial and case, and consult the table. WARNING: Water-resistance performance There are several types of water-resistant watches, as shown in the following table. Examples of use The unit "bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere. * WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar may also be indicated as W.R. xx bar.
WARNING: Water-resistance performance • Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-resistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your face; however, it is not designed for use underwater. • Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch is waterresistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while swimming; however, it is not designed for use while skin diving.
CAUTION: Operating environment • Use the watch within the operating-temperature range specified in the instruction manual. Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range, may result in deterioration of functions or even stoppage of the watch. • Do NOT use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature, such as in a sauna. Doing so may result in a skin burn.
