Notes on charging your watch This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps. For optimal performance: • Expose the watch with the dial towards direct sunlight for several hours at least once a month. • After taking off the watch, put it in a position so that the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window. • Before storing the watch in a dark place for an extended period of time, be sure to charge it fully.
When the watch reaches a low charge state—insufficient charge warning function When the power reserve becomes low, the second hand moves once every two seconds—This is the insufficient charge warning function. Charge the watch by exposing the dial to light. • After the watch is charged, the second hand will move normally. See page 18. • If you have not charged the watch for three days or more since the insufficient charge warning movement began, the watch will run out power and stop.
