Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot.
Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become
particularly hot when exposed to the conditions below for long periods.
•
On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
•
Too close to an incandescent lamp
•
Under direct sunlight
Important!
•
Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digital display to black out.
The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns
to a lower temperature.
•
Enable the watch's Power Saving function (page E-16) and keep it in an area normally
exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that
power does not run down.
•
Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in
such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.
Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

Battery power indicator
•
The flashing
charge alert at Level 3 and the flashing charge alert (C) at Level
4 tell you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for
charging is required as soon as possible.
•
At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory
defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the
current time, date, and other settings.
•
The watch's Home City code setting will change automatically to TYO (Tokyo)
whenever the battery drops to Level 5. If you are using the watch in North America
or Europe, or China you will need to change the Home City code setting to match
your location after the battery drops to Level 5.
•
Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level
2.
•
Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source
can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher
than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a
few minutes.
