B. SETTING THE TIME AND CALENDAR

WWSetting the time

1. Stop the second hand by pulling out the crown.

2. Turn the crown to set the time.

3. After setting the time, firmly push the crown back into its normal position.

A. BEFORE USING

This watch is not powered by a conventional battery, but is powered by converting light

to electrical energy.

Once fully charged, the watch will continue to run for approximately 6 months without

additional charging. We do recommend exposing your watch to light every day to

ensure optimum performance. Always be sure to recharge the watch before it stops.

Your watch features an Overcharge Prevention Function so there is no need to worry

about overcharging your watch.

A special energy storage cell is used to store electrical energy. This special cell does

not require replacement and is a clean energy unit that does not use any toxic

substances.

WWSetting the time

1. Stop the second hand by pulling the crown out to the 2nd click (time setting position).

2. Turn the crown to set the time.

3. The watch will start after the crown is firmly pushed back into its normal position.

WWSetting the calendar

1. Pull the crown out to the 1st click (calendar setting position).

2. Set the desired date by turning the crown counterclockwise.

3. Set the desired day of the week by turning the crown clockwise.

•In the case of date display models, turning the crown clockwise will result in the loose

play of the crown.

4. After you have set the calendar, be sure to press the crown back to its normal position.

•Do not adjust the calendar when the watch is reading as below. Otherwise the

calendar may not change correctly.

FUNCTIONS OF SOLAR POWERED WATCH

If the charge becomes insufficient, a warning function will operate and the display

changes, as below.

If insufficiently charged and time is set

When the watch is exposed to light, the Quick Start Function will begin operating

and the second hand will start moving. The correct time can be set once the watch

is fully charged.

If insufficient charge continues

The second hand changes to a two second

interval movement to indicate insufficient recharging.

Even in such a case, the watch keeps correct time, but about 4

days after the two second interval movement begins, the

watch will stop.

After exposing the watch to light, recharging takes place and

the watch returns to one second interval movement.

WWQuick Start Function

The watch will stop if it is completely discharged.

It will begin to operate soon after it is exposed to light.

(However, the time to start may vary according to the brightness of the light.)

WWOvercharge Prevention Function

You can recharge your watch without worry.

Once the special energy storage cell is fully charged, the overcharge prevention

function comes into operation and prevents over-charging of the energy storage cell.

WWInsufficient Charge Warning Function

D. CARE AND HANDLING DURING CHARGING

WWNotes on Use

To maintain optimal performance, be sure to expose your watch to light regularly.

Please note that if you wear long sleeves, your watch may be hidden from light and

may result in insufficient charging. As such, additional exposure to light may be

necessary.

•When you take your watch off, be sure to place it in as bright an area as possible.

WWNotes on recharging

•Avoid recharging your watch in areas of high temperatures (over about 60 °C /

140 °F), otherwise the sensitive components of the watch may become damaged.

(e.g.) Incandescent lights generate heat sufficient to damage your watch. Be sure to

keep the watch at least 50cm (20inches) away from the bulb so no damage

occurs. We do not recommend the use of Halogen bulbs for recharging.

Never place your watch on the dashboard or rear deck of a vehicle as the heat

generated in these areas can damage your watch.

E. ABOUT THE ENERGY STRAGE CELL

Unlike ordinary watches, the special energy storage cell used in your watch does

not need regular replacement. This is a clean energy cell that will last the life of

the watch.

CAUTION:

The energy cell should last the life of the watch. Never allow anyone other than an

Authorized Service Center to replace this cell. The movement is designed to operate

with only the original energy storage cell. If an alternate cell is installed, such as a

conventional battery, the battery may become overcharged resulting in damage to the

movement and/or bursting of the cell, which could cause injury to the user.

* The recharging time is the time the watch is continuously exposed to direct light.

F. TIME REQUIRED FOR CHARGING

Time required for recharging may vary according to the design of the watch (color of

the dial, etc) and operating environment. The following table will serve as an

CAUTION:

When recharging the watch after it is completely in the stop state, be sure to pull out the

crown to the time setting position.

After recharging, set the time and push the crown firmly back into its normal position.

G. IN THESE CASES

[If the watch warns that the energy is running short]

The second hand starts moving at two second intervals in

order to warn that the watch will stop functioning after about

1 week. (Insufficient Charge Warning Function)

In such a case, expose your watch to light for a while to

cancel the warning. (The second hand returns to moving at

one second intervals when the energy is recharged.)

If the watch is left short of energy, it will stop functioning

after 4 days or so.

Two second

interval movement

[If the watch warns you to set the time.]

When the watch that has stopped is exposed to light, the

second hand starts two second interval movement (Quick

Start Function). The time elapsed before the second hand

starts moving depends on the illuminance of the light.

Even so, the second hand continues the two second interval

movement to tell you that the watch indicates an incorrect

time because it had stopped.

In such a case, set the hands to the correct time.

* If the watch is insufficiently exposed to light, the second

hand will soon switch to moving at two second intervals in

order to warn that the energy is running short.

WHEN USING FOR DIVING

Precautions when Using during Diving:

* When using a diver's watch, please make sure that you have received the

proper education and training for various types of diving, and observe all

rules.

* Please make sure to use the watch properly based on a thorough

understanding of watch handling and precautions. Please note that

failure to operate the watch in a manner not described in the user's

manual may prevent the watch from functioning properly.

H. DO NOT USING THIS WATCH WHILE

DIVING WHEN...

PROHIBITED

Do not use your watch while diving when the following occur.

• The insufficient recharging warning feature is activated. As the battery approaches

the end of its life, the second hand begins to move in 2 second increments. (When

this happens, expose the watch to light so that it recharges and the second hand

returns to normal movement. )

• The watch stops or exhibits any abnormal operation.

16 17

* Please make sure that the crown is pushed in firmly and the screw is securely

tightened.

* Please check that the band is securely attached to the watch.

* Please confirm that there are no cracks, scratches, chips or other abnormalities in

the band and glass.

* Please check that the rotating bezel rotates properly.

* Please check that the time and date are set correctly.

* Please check that the second hand is moving properly.

If the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, this means that the watch is

not sufficiently charged. Sufficiently charge the watch when this occurs.

* Never attempt to turn or pull out the crown underwater. This can cause defective

water resistance or other malfunction.

* Be careful to avoid bumping your watch on hard objects such as diving equipment

or rocks.

* Completely wash off any sea water, mud or sand adhered to the watch with pure

water after checking that the crown and screw are tightened. Wipe off any excess

moisture with a dry cloth.

Determination of Remaining Time

* The remaining time can be determined by

aligning the

▼

mark on the rotating bezel

with the target time.

Remaining time

J. USING THE ROTATING BEZEL

The rotating bezel can be used as a reference for elapsed time during diving or for the

amount of time remaining relative to a predetermined amount of time.

[Setting the Rotating Bezel]

* Only turn the rotating bezel to the left. It cannot be rotated in the opposite direction

(to the right) to prevent the risk of incorrect operation.

* Align the

▼

mark on the rotating bezel

with the minute hand. After a certain

amount of time has elapsed, the elapsed

time can be determined from the scale on

the rotating bezel.
