    E. ABOUT THE ENERGY STRAGE CELL Unlike ordinary watches, the special energy storage cell used in your watch does not need regular replacement. This is a clean energy cell that will last the life of the watch. CAUTION: The energy cell should last the life of the watch. Never allow anyone other than an Authorized Service Center to replace this cell. The movement is designed to operate with only the original energy storage cell.

    F. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING Below are the approximate times required for charging when exposing the watch dial to light continuously. Please use this table as a reference only. Charging time (approx.) Illuminance To start working To become fully Environment To work for one (lx) normally when the...
  • Page 12 * The recharging time is the time the watch is continuously exposed to direct light. To become fully charged when the cell is discharged: Time required to fully charge when the watch has completely stopped. To work for one day: Time required to charge the watch sufficient for one-day use with one-second interval operation. CAUTION: When recharging the watch after it is completely in the stop state, be sure to pull out the crown to the time setting position.
  • Page 13: In These Cases

    G. IN THESE CASES [If the watch warns that the energy is running short] The second hand starts moving at two second intervals in order to warn that the watch will stop functioning after about 1 week. (Insufficient Charge Warning Function) In such a case, expose your watch to light for a while to cancel the warning. (The second hand returns to moving at one second intervals when the energy is recharged.) If the watch is left short of energy, it will stop functioning...
  • Page 14 [If the watch warns you to set the time.] When the watch that has stopped is exposed to light, the second hand starts two second interval movement (Quick Start Function). The time elapsed before the second hand starts moving depends on the illuminance of the light. Even so, the second hand continues the two second interval movement to tell you that the watch indicates an incorrect time because it had stopped.
