ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
v TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
●
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.
● In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light.
Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 3 days. (For recharging the
watch, see “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”)
•
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.
* Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50 °C.
NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
l
This watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive use with
the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches, therefore, battery
replacement is not necessary.
l
The solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the natural
environment.
●
Never insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch as it may
explode, generate an intense heat or catch fire. The watch is so designed
that if a wrong battery is installed in the watch, the watch will not
operate.
