1. Features This watch is a solar-powered watch that contains a solar cell in its face that drives the watch by converting light energy into electrical energy. It is equipped with features including a 24 hour display and chronograph function that allows measurement of time in 1 second units up to 60 minutes.
2. Before Using This watch is a solar-powered watch. Please fully charge the watch before using by exposing it to light. A secondary battery is used in this watch to store electrical energy. This secondary battery is a clean energy battery that does not contain mercury or other toxic substances. Once fully charged, the watch willcontinue to run for about five months without additional charging.

4. Functions Unique to Solar-Powered Watches [Normal Time Display] When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the following warning features will be activated to inform If insufficiently charged the wearer that the watch is insufficiently charged.
[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature] [Stopped] All hands stop moving The second hand switches from 1-second interval movement to 2-second interval movement If watch is continued to be used without charging • The watch hands resume 2-second interval movementwhen the watch is charged by exposingto light. However, the timeis incorrect as a resultof the watch havingstopped due to being insufficientlycharged.
[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature] When the capacity of the secondary battery decreases as a result of light not shining on the solar cell, the second hand switches from 1-second interval movement to 2-second interval movement (insufficient charging warning feature). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed after the second hand has switched to 2-second interval movement.
[Quick Start Feature] Ifthe watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, the second hand will begin 2-second interval movement and the watch will begin to run about 10 seconds after the watch is exposed to light (approx. 500 Ix). (The time until the hands begin to move varies depending on the model.) Please note, however, that the watch will stop again if the watch is blocked from the light and is not sufficiently charged.
[When the Watch has Stopped due to Insufficient Charging] When the capacity of the secondary battery decreases as a result of the solar cell not being exposed to light,the watch will stop due to being insufficiently charged. The QuickStart Feature will be activated and the hands will begin to move ifthe solar cell is exposed to light. Sufficiently charge the watch by exposing to lightso that it returns to the normal time display (1-second interval movement).
5. General Reference for Charging Times Recharging time varies according to the watch model (such as the color of the dial). The times in the table below should therefore only be used as a rough reference. * Charging time refers to the amount of time during which the watch is continuously exposed to light. Charging time (approx.
6. Handling Precautions Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently charged as a result of the watch being covered and not being exposed to light. The watch willcontinue to run properly if it is placed in as bright a location as possible even when not being worn. Charging Precautions • Allowing the watch to reach high temperatures during recharging can damage the watch.
• When charging using the light from an incandescent lamp, charge while being careful that the watch does not become excessively hot by placing at a distance of at least 50 cm (20in) from the lamp. Handling of Secondary Battery • Please do not attempt to remove the secondary battery from the watch. • If the secondary battery has been unavoidably removed, store it in a location out of the reach of small children to prevent accidental swallowing.
7. Replacing the Secondary Battery Unlike ordinary silver-based batteries, the secondary battery used in this watch does not have to be periodically replaced since it is able to be charged and discharged repeatedly.
8. Setting the Time and Date Inthe case the crown is of the screw-locktype, loosen the screw by turningthe crown to the left before operating the crown, and after having returned the crown to the normal positionfollowing operation, turn it to the rightwhile pushing it in to securely retighten it. Hour hand Min.rt» h*nH [Setting the Time] 1• pu" the crown out to the time correction position when the second hand has reached the 0 seconds position. 2. Turn the crown to set the time.
[Hint for Accurately Setting the Time] After stopping the second hand at the 0 seconds position, turn the minute hand 4-5 minutes past the correct time and then turn it back to the correct time. The time on the watch can then be set to the correct time by pushing in the crown in synchronization with a time service tone. [Setting the Date] 1. Pull the crown out to the date correction Date correction position position. 2. Turn the crown to the right to set the date.
• The date is based on a 31-day calendar. The date must be changed from the last day of the month to the firstday of the following month for those months not having 31 days (months having 30 days and February). • The date changes at around 12:00 AM. 3. Once the date has finished being set, return the crown to the normal position.
9. Using the Chronograph The chronograph function of this watch is able to measure and display elapsed time up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds in 1 second units. After 60 minutes have elapsed, each of the chronograph hands automatically stop at the 12:00 position. Button (A) [Chronograph Timing] 1. Start timing by pressing button (A). • The chronograph is repeatedly started and stopped by pressing button (A). 2. Pressing button (B) resets the chronograph to 0 seconds.
Note: • Do not subject the chronograph to strong impacts while chronograph timing is in progress. Subjecting the watch to a strong impact during chronograph timing or when the chronograph has stopped automatically after 60 minutes have elapsed can cause the chronograph minute hand to shift out of position. Ifthis happens, press button (B) to reset to the 12:00 position before using the chronograph again.
10. Zero Positioning of Chronograph Second Hand When resetting the chronograph, if the chronograph second hand does not return to the 0 seconds position or if the chronograph second had has shifted out of position due to strong impact, perform zero positioning of the chronograph second hand according to the procedure described below. • In the case the crown is of the screw-lock type, loosen the screw before operating the crown.
