3. USE OF THIS WATCH
A)
About Solar Power
This watch does not use a conventional battery, but an Eco Drive
rechargeable energy cell. It is powered by light that is converted to
electricity through a solar panel under the translucent dial.
The Eco Drive rechargeable power cell is a clean energy unit that does not
use any toxic substances. Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run
for about 6 months without further charging. However, it is recommended that
the watch be exposed to light every day to ensure that maximum performance
is achieved.
There is no need to be concerned about over-charging as there is a built in
Over-Charge prevention feature.
