English About Eco-Drive Watches • This Eco-Drive watch features a solar panel under the dial and is powered by converting solar energy into electrical energy. • This watch also features functions such as a perpetual calendar ( which automatically adjusts the date at month ends and leap years) a daily alarm (that can be set according to a 24-hour system), and a chronograph (capable of measuring up to 59 minutes, 59.95 seconds, in 1/20 second units).
Periodically expose the watch dial to daylight This watch uses a rechargeable cell to store electrical energy. This is an environmentally clean cell that does not use any harmful substances such as mercury. Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, (and the power saving feature is operative) the watch will function for approximately 9 months (E81*)/24 months (E82*) without additional exposure to light.
English Ensuring optimal operation of the watch Always store the watch in a bright location for best results. • When you take your watch off, place it in a location so that the dial (face) can receive light, such as a window sill, where sunlight can directly strike the watch dial (face). • Wearing clothes with long sleeves may inhibit sufficient light from reaching the watch dial (face), resulting in insufficient charging.
If the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the second hand will automatically move to the low charge warning, informing you of a “Charge warning” and “Time setting warning”. Always take care to charge your watch so that the charge does not become insufficient. [Normal time display] If watch becomes insufficiently charged As the watch recharges If the second hand points to the SET position, it indicates that the time must be set. Set the correct time.
English [If the charge becomes insufficient during normal time display] • If the charge becomes insufficient, quickly charge the watch to restore normal operations (normal time display). [Insufficient charge warning] The second hand points to CHARGE. When the watch is left without charging [Stopped status] The second hand points to STOP. [Time setting warning display] The second hand points to SET.
Regardless what mode the watch is in, if the power becomes very low, the watch will switch to the time display and the second hand will move to the ‘CHARGE’ position indicating that recharging is necessary. After the second hand has moved to the ‘CHARGE’ position, the watch will switch to display the time in the following sequence, 24-hour hand, hour hand, minute hand, date (function hand).
As the watch is exposed to light sufficient for charging and begins re-charging after it has stopped, the second hand will move to the SET position, informing you that the time is incorrect and must be set. Although movement of the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand will start after the second hand has moved to the SET position, the time and calendar must be set after the watch has fully charged.
If the watch is not exposed to light sufficient for charging and in the time/calendar mode (TME) or local time mode (L-TM), the second hand will move to the 0-position and stop, and the watch will enter power saving mode to reduce power consumption. Even though the second hand stops, the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand will continue to keep the correct time. Also, the calendar will continue to update according to the movement of the 24-hour hand, hour hand, and minute hand.
