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 for long periods
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.
Important!
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.
❚ Checking the Battery Level
Use the Battery Level Screen to check the current level of the
watch's rechargeable battery.
• In the Timekeeping Mode, press the C button once to change to
the Battery Level Screen.

• 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.
• When the battery level approaches Level 3, the digital display will
start to flash and the analog hands will move to the 12 o'clock
position.
• Even after the battery drops to Level 4, you will be able to resume
normal operation by charging the battery.
• When charging from Level 4, the digital display will start operating
when the battery reaches Level 3. At this time, you will be able to
configure digital time and date settings only. The analog hands will
start to operate when the battery reaches Level 2. At that time,
adjust the analog hand setting so it matches the digital time.
• When charging the battery, keep the watch exposed to light until
the battery reaches Level 2 or Level 1.
