The time required for recharging varies according to the model of the watch (color of the dial, etc). The
following times are shown below to serve only as a reference.
Recharging time refers to the amount of time the watch is continuously exposed to light.
Charging Time
Full recharging time: Time required for recharging the watch from the stopped state to full charged.
Charging time for 1 day of operation: Time required for recharging the watch to run for 1
day at one-second-interval movement.
<Be sure to keep the watch charged at all times>
x Please note that if you routinely wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently charged
as a result of it being concealed and unable to be exposed to light.
x When you take the watch off, try to place it in as bright location as possible to ensure that it always
keeps the correct time.
Notes: Charging Precautions
x Avoid recharging at high temperature (over about 60OC/1400F) since this may result in dam- age to the
watch as a result of reaching excessively high temperatures. Examples: Charging the watch in close
proximity to an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or other light source that can easily reach high
temperatures, charging the watch in a location that reaches high temperatures such as on a car
dashboard.
x When charging the watch with an incandescent lamp, always make sure the watch is at least 50 cm (20
in.) away from the lamp so that it does not reach excessively high temperatures during charging.
