Power Supply
The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate
electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using
or storing the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or
allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve as you are
wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable battery to run
down. To ensure stable operation, be sure to allow the watch to be
exposed to light as much as possible when you are wearing or
storing it.
Note that all data in memory and all settings are cleared
whenever you allow the level of the rechargeable battery
to drop to Level 4.

Hand Setting Mode
Mode Name
• In the Stopwatch Mode, the battery indicator operates as the
stopwatch minute hand.
• Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may
cause the battery level indicator to momentarily indicate a level
that is higher than the actual battery level. Because of this, you
should wait for a short while after charging to check the battery
level indicator.
• Signal reception will become enabled again when the battery is
recharged up to Level 2.
• Even after the battery drops to Level 4, watch operation will
resume as soon as charging starts. However, you should wait until
the battery reaches Level 2 before setting the time and date.
❚ Start charging at Level 3!
Battery Level 3 indicates that remaining battery power is very low.
Be sure to expose the watch to light for recharging as soon as
possible after the battery level indicator shows Level 3.
❚ Flashing Recovering Indicator
If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short
period, a Recovering indicator flashes on the display and the
following operations become disabled as battery power recovers.
Recovering Indicator
• Display illumination
• Alarm and hourly time signal
• Time calibration signal reception
• Analog timekeeping

❚ Charging Precautions
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere
else the watch may become very hot.
• On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun
• Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of
heat
• In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
Note that the display panel may become black under very high
temperatures. This is temporary, and the display will appear
normal again at lower temperatures.
Depending on the light source you are using, the
case of the watch may become quite hot during
charging. Take care to guard against burn injury
after charging.
❚ Charging the Battery
Point the solar panel (face) of the watch at a light source.
• Remember that even a partial blockage of the solar cell reduces
charging efficiency.
Example: Positioning the watch
