REMARKS ON USING SOLAR WATCHES
•Wear the watch in such a manner that it is not covered by the cuff of your shirt or
jacket. The second hand keeps moving at one-second intervals as long as it is
exposed to light.
•Whenever possible, leave the watch in a bright place if you are not wearing it.
•To prevent a watch whose second hand is moving at two-second intervals from
stopping during the night, leave it under a fluorescent light while you sleep. Then
follow the instructions on page 11 if it is still not moving at one-second intervals the
next day.
REMARKS ON THE CAPACITOR
•Earlier solar watches relied on both the solar cell and a back up silver-oxide battery
to keep the movement working. This meant that it was still necessary to change the
back-up battery after several years. Now, however, a capacitor, which needs no
replacement, takes the place of the back-up battery, making battery replacement
completely unnecessary.
•Never insert a silver oxide battery in place of the capacitor as the watch will not
operate.
TIME SETTING
Notes:
1. When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so
designed that the date changes once in 24 hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock
marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M. period. If the date
changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not change, the time is
set for the P.M. period.
2. 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.
a) Normal position
b) First click
c) Second click
1. Pull out the crown all the way to the second click
when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position.
2. Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to
the desired time.
3. Push the crown back in to the normal position in
accordance with a time signal.
