Your Watch 1. Features iEco-Drive function 2. Operating the Crown There are two models available for the crown: normal and screw lock. In the case of normal crown watch, the crown has simply to be pulled out. This solar powered Eco-Drive watch is powered by photo energy converted into electrical energy. 1. Turn the crown to the left. Turn to the left 2. When the screw lock is released, the crown pops out a little and stops in the normal position. 3.
Time and Date Correction 3. Setting the Time and Date The date and time can be corrected by changing the position of the crown. Correct by turning the crown while in the given mode. * Nothing happens if you turn the crown when it is in the normal position. Date correction position (Crown in position 1) 1. Pull out the crown to position 2. (The second hand stops at this time for models with a second hand.) 2. Turn the crown to set the time. * When the date changes, it is 0:00 a.m.
Solar Power 4. 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 9 months. To receive the greatest pleasure from your watch, always store it in a sunlit location.
5. Characteristics of the Solar Powered Watch When the watch is insufficiently charged, the indication will be changed as follows: [Normal indication] The watch has been insufficiently charged because the watch face has not received sufficient light. [Operation stops] The watch will stop due to an insufficient charging. (Models with a second hand only) The watch has been insufficiently charged because the watch face has not received sufficient light.
C. Quick Start (models with a second hand only) If the watch stops due to insufficient charge, the second hand will start moving at 2-second intervals if the watch face is exposed to light (approx. 500 lx) for approx. 10 seconds. (The time required for the hand to begin moving varies depending on the model.) Note, however, that the battery is not yet fully charged.
Charging time (approximate) Illuminance (lx) 3,000 10,000 100,000 16 For a 1-day movement charging time Time from stopping to resuming the 1-second interval movement Time for full charging 20 cm (8 in.) beneath a 30 W florescent light 40 minutes 14 hours -------- Cloudy sky 12 minutes 4.
E. Handling Your Watch WARNING CAUTION WARNING j When charging with incandescent lighting, halogen lamps, or other lighting sources that easily become hot, place the watch at least 50 cm (20 in.) away from the source to avoid overheating. Handling the secondary battery j Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch yourself, unless unavoidable. If you must remove the battery, store it out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.
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 Examples of use There are several types of water-resistant watches, as shown in the following table. 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.
