Pulsar AS32 - Watch Manual

DISPLAY AND CROWN

1. Normal position
2. First click position
3. Second click position

When you start the watch or when the energy in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely low level, charge it sufficiently by exposing the watch to light.

NOTE

• It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.

GUIDELINES FOR CHARGING TIME

The above table provides only general guidelines.

<Reference>
Conditions

1. Time required for full charge
2. Time required for steady operation
3. Time required for 1 day's charge

* The values in this column represent the charging times required until the second hand moves constantly at 1-second intervals after the watch starts operating with the second hand moving at 2-second intervals.

• Even if the watch is not charged for the time specified in the column, the second hand may temporarily move at 1-second intervals. But it will soon resume moving at 2-second intervals, and therefore, charge the watch for more than the specified period.
• When the watch is fully charged, it will continue to operate for about 4 months.

• When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a hot light source such as a photoflash light, spotlight or incandescent light as this can greatly raise the watch temperature.
• When charging the watch by sunlight, do not leave it exposed to the sun for a long time, on the dashboard of a car, etc.. as this can greatly raise the watch temperature.
• Make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50°C while charging, to avoid damage to the parts inside.

HOW TO SET TIME

CROWN

Pull out to the second click postition when the second hand is at the 12 o'clock position.

Turn to set the hour and minute hands.
Take AM/PM into consideration when setting the hour and minute hands to the desired time.
When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back to the exact minute(s).

Push back simultaneously with a time signal.

HOW TO SET DATE

CROWN

Pull out to the first click position.

Turn counterclockwise to set the date.
Do not set the date between 9:00 P.M. and 1:00 A.M.

Push back to the normal position.

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION

• When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead of the normal 1-second intervals.
• In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 1 day.
  • To prevent the energy depletion
    • When you wear the watch, try not to keep it covered by your clothes.
    • When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as possible.
      * Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50°C.

• This watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive use with the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches, therefore, battery replacement is not necessary.
• The solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the natural environment.

• Never insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch as it may explode, generate an intense heat or catch fire. The watch is designed not to operate even if the battery is installed in it.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with 5 stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5°C 5 and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). Temperatures over 50°C (122°F) may cause battery leakage or shorten the battery life.
Do not leave your watch in very low temperatures below –5°C (+23°F) for a long time since the cold may cause a slight time loss or gain. However, the above conditions will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

MAGNETISM

Your watch will be adversely affected by strong magnetism. Keep it away from close contact with magnetic objects.

SHOCKS & VIBRATION

Light activities will not affect your watch, but be careful not to drop your watch or hit it against hard surfaces, as this may cause damage.

CHEMICALS

Be careful not to expose the watch to solvents, mercury, cosmetic spray, detergents, adhesives or paints. Otherwise, the case, bracelet, etc. may become discolored, deteriorated or damaged.

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET

To prevent possible rusting of the case and bracelet caused by dust, moisture and perspiration, wipe them periodically with a soft dry cloth.

PERIODIC CHECK
It is recommended that the watch be checked once every 2 to 3 years. Have your watch checked by an AUTHORIZED PULSAR DEALER or SER VICE CENTER to ensure that the case, crown, buttons, gasket and crystal seal remain intact.

PRECAUTION REGARDING CASE BACK PROTECTIVE FILM

If your watch has a protective film and/or a sticker on the case back, be sure to peel them off before using your watch.
