D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING
■ Notes on use
Take care to charge your watch during use.
Please note that if you wear long sleeves, the watch
can easily become insufficiently charged because it
is hidden and not exposed to light.
• When you take the watch off, place it in as bright a
place as possible, and it will always continue to
run properly.
■ Notes on recharging
• Avoid recharging at high temperatures (over about
60°C/140°F), otherwise the watch will be damaged
during recharging.
(eg) Charging the watch near a light source that
easily becomes hot, such as an incandescent lamp
or a halogen lamp.
Charging in a place that easily becomes hot, such
as dashboard.
When you charge the watch by an incandescent
lamp, place the watch about 50cm (20in.) from the
light source to prevent the watch from reaching an
extremely high temperature.
E. REPLACING THE SECONDARY BATTERY
Unlike ordinary batteries, the secondary battery
used in this watch does not have to be
periodically replaced due to repeated charging
and discharging.
CAUTION
Never use another battery different from the
secondary battery used in this watch.
The watch structure is designed so that a different
kind of battery other than that specified cannot be
used to operate it. In case a different kind of battery
such as a silver battery is used, there is the risk of it
becoming overcharged and bursting causing
damage to the watch and even to the wearer.
F. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING
Time required for recharging may vary according to
the design (colour of the dial, etc.) and operating
environment. The following table will serve as a

G. IF YOUR WATCH IS A DIVER'S WATCH
[1] Precautions when using during Diving
* When using a diver's watch, please make sure that
you have received the proper education and training
for various types of diving, and observe all rules.
* Please make sure to use the watch properly based
on a thorough understanding of watch handling
and precautions. Please note that failure to operate
the watch in a manner not described in the user's
manual may prevent the watch from functioning
properly.
<Before Diving>
* Please make sure that the crown is pushed in
firmly and the screw is securely tightened.
* Please check that the band is securely attached to
the watch.
* Please confirm that there are no cracks, scratches,
chips or other abnormalities in the band and glass.
* Please check that the rotating bezel rotates properly.
* Please check that the time and date are set correctly.
* Please check that the second hand is moving
properly.
If the second hand is moving at two-second intervals,
this means that the watch is not sufficiently charged.
Sufficiently charge the watch when this occurs.
<During Diving>
* Never attempt to turn or pull out the crown
underwater. This can cause defective water
resistance or other malfunction.
* Be careful to avoid bumping your watch on hard
objects such as diving equipment or rocks.
<After Diving>
* Completely wash off any sea water, mud or sand
adhered to the watch with pure water after checking
that the crown and screw are tightened. Wipe off
any excess moisture with a dry cloth.
[2] How to use Rotating bezel
The rotating bezel is a convenient way to keep track
of diving time, permitting the indication of the elapsed
and remaining times.
* Turn the rotating bezel counterclockwise, while
pushing it. It is locked under reverse direction for
safety reasons.
* Determination of elapsed time: Align the ▼ mark
on the rotating bezel with the minute hand. The
elapsed time is shown by the rotating bezel scale.
* Determination of remaining time: Align the ▼ mark
on the rotating bezel to a certain required time.
The remaining time is read with the ring scale.
