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. After taking off the watch, put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window. The watch can be charged effectively when the dial is exposed to sunlight as shown in the figure. For optimal performance, be sure to: • Charge the watch by exposing it to direct sunlight for five to six hours at least once a month.
• I f the watch is obscured from light by long sleeves frequently, supplemental charging may be needed to ensure continual operation. • Do not charge the watch at high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher).
Charging your watch ◆ 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. Be sure to fully charge your watch. • When the watch is sufficiently charged, the second hand will move normally.
◆ Charging time by environment Below are the approximate times required for charging when exposing the watch dial to light continuously. Please use this table as a reference only. Environment Charging time (approx.

English Notes on the time signal reception There are three ways to receive the time signal: The second hand indicates the reception result (OK/NO). (See page 41) Methods Explanations Automatic reception Receives the signal at 2:00 a.m. every day. If reception is unsuccessful, the watch tries to receive at 3:00 a.m. On demand reception Starts receiving the signal when you want to adjust the time and date. (See page 43.
Notes on the time signal reception ◆ When receiving the time signal Remove the watch and place it on a stable surface where it can receive the signal better, such as next to a window. • The reception antenna is located at the 9:00 position of the watch. Place the watch with the 9:00 position facing toward the station. • Do not move the watch during time signal reception.
◆ Note on the time signal This watch receives the time signal from one of the five signal stations located in four regions, and automatically corrects the time and date.
Notes on the time signal reception JJY (Japan): Approx. 2,000 km Kyushu station 36 JJY (Japan): Approx.
WWVB (USA): Approx.
Notes on the time signal reception DCF77 (Germany): Approx. 1,500km Mainflingen station 38 BPC (China): Approx.
◆ Poor reception areas It may be difficult to receive the time signal properly under certain environmental conditions or in areas susceptible to radio noise.
Notes on the time signal reception ◆ When signal reception is poor High-tension electrical lines or other structures near your house may block the path to the signal station. This may result in a poor environment for receiving the time signal. With reference to pages 36 to 38, search for a better place for reception. Then, attempt to receive the time signal following the procedure on page 43. • If the window contains a wire netting in it, open the window or change the location for better reception.

Eco-Drive watch handling precautions • Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch may stop as a result of being covered by your sleeve and blocked from the light. • When you take off the watch, try to place it in as bright a location as possible. This will ensure optimal operation.
CAUTION Recharging Precautions • Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher) as doing so may cause the movement to malfunction. Examples: • Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp. * When charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inch) or more between the lamp and the watch to avoid exposing the watch to excessive heat.
Eco-Drive watch handling precautions • This watch utilizes a special rechargeable cell that does not require regular replacement. However power consumption may increase after using the watch for a number of years due to wear of internal components and deterioration of oils. This may cause stored power to be depleted at a faster rate.
WARNING Use Only the Specified Battery • Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in this watch. Although the watch structure is designed so that it will not operate when another type of battery is installed, if a silver battery or other type of battery is installed in the watch and the watch is recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture. This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer.
Water resistance WARNING Water Resistance • Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly. (The unit “1bar” is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.) • WATER RESIST(ANT) ××bar may also be indicated as W.R.××bar. • Non-water resistant models are not designed to come into contact with any moisture.
Water-related use Minor exposure Swimming and to water (washing general washing face, rain, etc.) work Skin diving, marine sports Scuba diving using an air tank Operate the crown or button when the watch is wet NO NO NO NO NO OK NO NO NO NO OK OK NO NO NO OK OK OK NO NO 65 English Water resistance • Water resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means the watch is water resistant for occasional accidental splashing.
Precautionary items and usage limitations CAUTION To Avoid Injury • Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid injury. • Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself and others. • Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may become excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.
• Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following. • If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a dry cloth. • Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch. • Take off your watch before taking a bath. • If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts (crystal, crown, push button, etc.
Precautionary items and usage limitations • Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow adequate ventilation. • The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.).
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.
Precautionary items and usage limitations • Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
Caring for Your Watch • Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth. • For a metallic, plastic or rubber (urethane) watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush. • For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.
