Important!
To prevent loss of water resistance
●
and/or damage due to impact, be
sure to push the crown in to its
normal position after you are
finished using it.
When pushing the crown back in,
●
take care not to apply too much
force.
Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
●
After pulling out the crown to the first or second
click, rotating it quickly in succession in either
direction will start a fast forward or fast reverse
operation. While a fast forward operation is in
progress, quickly rotating the crown in
succession again will increase the speed even
further.
The fast reverse operation speed is fixed
●
and cannot be changed.
Stopping Fast Forward/Fast Reverse
●
Rotate the crown in the direction opposite that
of the ongoing operation or press any button.
Note
If you do not perform any operation
●
for about two minutes after pulling
out the crown, crown operations will
automatically become disabled. If
that happens, push the crown back
in and then pull it out again.

Solar Charging
This watch runs on power supplied from a
rechargeable (secondary) battery that is
charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is
integrated into the face of the watch, and
power is generated whenever the face is
exposed to light.
Charging the Watch
●
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in
a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure
that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from
the light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power
generation efficiency is reduced even when
the face of the watch is blocked only partially.

Depending on light intensity and
●
local conditions, the watch may
become hot to the touch when
exposed to light for charging. Take
care to avoid burn injury after
charging. Also, avoid charging the
watch under high-temperature
conditions like the ones described
below.
On the dashboard of a vehicle

Remaining Charge and Dead Battery
●
You can determine if the charge level is low by
checking the hand movement. Functions
become disabled as battery power goes low.
Important!
Should battery go low or go dead,
●
expose the face (solar panel) to light
as soon as possible.
Note
Exposing the watch face to light after
●
the battery goes dead will cause the
second hand to revolve
counterclockwise until it stops at
second 57. This indicates charging
has started.
