Power source
The battery used in this watch is a special secondary battery, which is totally different from ordinary silver oxide batteries.
Unlike other disposable batteries such as dry-cell batteries or button cells, this secondary battery can be used over and
over again by repeating the cycles of discharging and recharging.
However, for various reasons such as long-term use or usage conditions, the capacity or recharging efficiency of the
secondary battery may gradually deteriorate. Worn or contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils may also shorten
recharging cycles. If the efficiency of the secondary battery decreases, have the watch repaired.
■ Remarks on replacing the secondary battery
6
・ D o not remove the secondary battery yourself.
・ R eplacement of the secondary battery requires professional
knowledge and skill. Please ask the retailer from whom the watch
was purchased for repair.
・ I nstallation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can
cause bursting or ignition.

NOTICE

Lumibrite

If your watch has Lumibrite
Lumibrite is a luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of the sunlight and lighting apparatus in a short time and stores it
to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, Lumibrite can emit light for 3 to 5 hours.
Please note, however, that, as Lumibrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time.
The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the
watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
※ I n general, when coming from a place that is bright to a place that is dark, it takes human eyes some time to adapt to the
darkness making it difficult to see objects initially. (Dark adaptation)
※ L umiBrite is luminous paint that stores and emits light, which is harmless to human beings and the environment, containing no
toxic materials such as radioactive substances.

※ Overcharge prevention function
When the secondary battery is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function
is automatically activated to avoid further charging. There is no need to worry
about damage caused by overcharging no matter how much the secondary
battery is charged in excess of the "time required for fully charging the watch".
※ Refer to "Standard charging time" on page 111 to check the time required for fully charging the watch.
NOTICE
■ Notes on charging the watch
・ W hen charging the watch, do not place the watch in close proximity
to an intense light source such as lighting equipment for photography,
spotlights or incandescent lights, as the watch may be excessively heated
resulting in damage to its internal parts.
・ W hen charging the watch by exposure to direct sunlight, avoid places that
easily reach high temperatures, such as a car dashboard.
・ A lways keep the watch temperature under 60℃ .
