HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
lWhen 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.
lInstant-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.

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.
3 W h e n th e w a t c h i s c ha r g e d a f te r i t h a s

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 for charging
lWh en charging the watc h, do no t pla ce it too c los e to a p hotof la sh
light, spotlight, incandescent light or other light sources as the watch
temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to the parts
inside the watch.
lWhen 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.
lWhile charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
exceed 50 °C. (For Cal. V110, V145, V181 and V182)
lWhile charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
exceed 60 °C. (For Cal. V111, V114, V116, V147, V157, V158 and V187)
