Battery Level 3 indicates that remaining battery power is very low. Be sure to expose the watch to light for recharging as soon as
❚Charging Precautions
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere else where the watch may become very hot.
The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using or storing the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve for long periods as you are wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable battery to run down. To ensure stable operation, be sure to allow the watch to be exposed to light as much as possible when you are wearing or storing it.
Important!
Note that all data in memory and all settings are cleared whenever you allow the level of the rechargeable battery to drop to Level 4.
❚Checking the Battery Level
Use the Battery Level Screen to check the current level of the watch’s rechargeable battery.
•In the Timekeeping Mode, press the C button once to change to the Battery Level Screen.

•Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may cause the battery level indicator to momentarily indicate a level that is higher than the actual battery level. Because of this, you should wait for a short while after charging to check the battery level indicator.
•Alarms and the hourly time signal cannot be turned on, and signal reception is disabled while the battery is at Level 3.
•Signal reception will become enabled again when the battery is recharged up to Level 2.
•Even after the battery drops to Level 4, watch operation will resume as soon as charging starts. However, you should wait until the digital display operation resumes before setting the time and date.

•Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of heat
•In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
Note that the display panel may become black under very high temperatures. This is temporary, and the display will appear normal again at lower temperatures.
Depending on the light source you are using, the case of the watch may become quite hot during charging. Take care to guard against burn injury after charging.
❚To charge the battery
Point the solar panel (face) of the watch at a light source.
•Remember that even a partial blockage of the solar cell reduces charging efficiency.
