HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH

When you start the watch or when the energy in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely low level, charge it sufficiently by exposing the watch to light.

Instant-start function:

When the watch is exposed to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than 1,000 lux), it will start operating immediately with the second hand moving at 2-second intervals.

1Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial light.

• When the watch has stopped operating, the second hand will start moving at 2-second intervals.

2 Keep the watch exposed to the light until the

second hand moves at 1-second intervals.

3When the watch is charged af ter it has completely stopped, set the date and time before wearing the watch.

See “GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY” .

NOTES:

1.If your watch has a second hand, when the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals immediately, but the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If the watch is turned away from the light, it may stop operating.

2.It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.

CAUTION

When exposing the watch to sunlight to charge it, do not leave it on the dashboard of a car, etc. for a long time, as the watch temperature becomes extremely high.

While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50 °C. (For Cal. V110, V145, V181 and V182)

While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 60 °C. (For Cal. V111, V114, V115, V116, V117, V137, V147, V157, V158 and V187)
