E. TIME REQUIRED FOR RECHARGING
Time required for recharge may vary according to the design (color and features)
of the dial, and operating environment. Additionally, if the crystal becomes very
scratched, it may not allow sufficient light to the dial. The following table
will serve as a recharge guideline.
Note: recharge time is the time the watch is continuously exposed to light.
F. LOW CHARGE WARNING
When the charge level in the power cell reaches a low
state, the second hand starts moving at two-second
intervals to warn that the watch is in need of a full
recharge. It will continue to operate in this state for
approximately 3 days before stopping.
When the happens, be sure to fully charge the watch by
exposing it to light as indicated in the chart above.
When the watch is fully charged, the second hand will
return to normal operation.
Time Setting Warning
When the watch has stopped and is exposed to light, the
second hand starts hitch movement. (quick start feature)
The time elapsed before the second hand restarts moving
depends on the type of light the watch is exposed to.
Even after a full recharge, the second hand continues in
a hitch movement to indicate the watch needs setting
(time setting warning feature). When this happens, be
sure to correct the time.
If the watch is insufficiently charged, the second hand
will soon return to two-second interval movement in order
to warn further charging is necessary.
