8. Viewing the Charge Indicator
• This charge indicator provides a general indication of the current level at which the
secondary battery is charged to one of four levels.
• The charge indicator hand points to the center of each level.
• The charge indicator only provides a rough estimate of the level at which the secondary
battery is charged. You can refer to this level when using your watch. It is recommended
that the watch normally be charged to at least level 2.
Note: When the charge level indicator hand points to “CHARGE”, there is hardly any
charge left in the secondary battery and the second hand moves at 2-second intervals.
The secondary battery will become completely depleted about 7 days later at which
time the watch will stop. Always make sure to charge the watch before it reaches
this state.
Remaining Charge: 1. The approximate amount of time the watch will continue to operate
without additional exposure to light.
2. This varies according to the usage frequency of the chronograph,
alarm, etc.
