It cannot properly operate unless the remaining energy is sufficient. Place or store the watch in a location receiving light etc., to sufficiently charge electricity. • When the watch is stopped or the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals, charge the watch by exposing it to light. • The time required for charging the watch varies depending on the calibres. Check the calibre of your watch engraved on the back cover. • It is recommended that the watch be charged for as long as the charging time “B” to assure the stable movement of the watch. 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. The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals. • While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot be activated. • If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch is operating, the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch hands will return to the “0” position. • When this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in a few days. TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION • When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by clothing. • When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as possible. NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY • The battery used in this watch is a rechargeable battery, which is different from ordinary silver oxide batteries. Unlike other disposable batteries such as drycell batteries or button cells, this rechargeable battery can be used over and over again by repeating the cycles of discharging and recharging. • The capacity or recharging ef f iciency of the rechargeable bat tery may gradually deteriorate for various reasons such as long-term use or usage conditions. Worn or contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils may also shorten recharging cycles. If the efficiency of the rechargeable battery decreases, it will be necessary to have the watch repaired. CAUTION • Do not remove the rechargeable battery yourself. Replacement of the rechargeable battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask a watch retailer for replacement of the rechargeable battery. • Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition. • Time/calendar • 60-Minute stopwatch in 1/5-second increments with split time • Measurement function • Powered by light energy • No battery change required • Lasts for 6 months after full charge • Energy depletion forewarning function • Overcharging prevention function �� The above table provides only a general guideline. a b c CROWN Hour hand STOPWATCH minute hand Date a: Normal position (after the crown is released) b: First click c: Second click A B 24-hour hand
