FUNCTIONS OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning function will operate and the display changes, as below. If insufficient charge continues Normal time display If insufficiently charged Insufficient charge warning display Time setting warning display Stop If sufficiently charged One second interval movement Two second interval movement If insufficiently charged and time is set Hitch movement The watch will begin to operate soon after it is exposed to light due to Quick Start Function If sufficiently charged and time is set 8 9 WInsufficient Charge Warning Function The second hand changes to a two second interval movement to indicate insufficient recharging. Even in such a case, the watch keeps correct time, but about 3 days after the two second interval movement begins, the watch will stop. After exposing the watch to light, recharging takes place and the watch returns to one second interval movement. 2 sec 2 sec WTime Setting Warning Function If the watch stops, subsequent exposure to light allows the Quick Start Function to start again, and the second hand moves with a hitch to indicate that the time incorrect. Otherwise, the hitch movement will continue. 2 sec 2 sec WQuick Start Function Two second interval movement Hitch movement The watch will stop if it is completely discharged. (However, the time to start may vary according to the brightness of the light. ) WOvercharge Prevention Function You can recharge without worry. Once the secondary battery is fully recharged, the overcharging prevention feature comes into operation and prevents over-recharging. 10 11 E. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING WNotes 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. F. REPLACING THE SECONDARY BATTERY Unlike ordinary batteries, the secondary battery used in this watch doesn't 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 so designed 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 by some chance, there is a danger that it will be overcharged to burst, causing damage to the watch and even to the human body. WNotes 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. When you charge the watch by an incandescent lamp, take a distance about 50cm (20in. ) from the light source to prevent extremely high temperature. 12 13 G. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING Time required for recharging may vary according to the design (color of the dial, etc. ) and operating environment.

USING THE ROTATING BEZEL This rotating bezel is provided on some models. This rotating bezel contains the names of 23 cities arranged in order by time difference. [. . . ] Timekeeping may become inaccurate if the watch is exposed to strong static electricity, such as is emitted from a TV screen. · Do NOT subject the watch to a strong shock such as dropping it onto a hard floor. · Avoid using the watch in an environment where it may be exposed to chemicals or corrosive gases. If solvents, such as thinner and benzine, or substances containing such solvents come in contact with the watch, discoloration, melting, cracking, etc. If the watch comes in contact with mercury used in thermometers, the case, band or other parts may become discolored. 24 25 J.
