Energy Depletion Warning Function
The second hand moves in 2-second intervals when the energy level is low.
When the second hand moves like this, the watch is likely to
stop within about one week. Adequately charge in accordance
with the estimated required charging time.

To Maintain Stable Operation
Charging Method
The watch charges when light hits the dial.
To operate the watch when it is stopped or if the battery level is
low, charge the watch in accordance with the estimated required
charging time.
○when you start using the watch
There may be insufficient energy. It does not have to be fully
charged but make sure that it is adequately charged.
○If the second hand moves in 2-second intervals:
Charging is insufficient. Charge the battery until the second hand
moves continuously in 1-second intervals.
Energy Depletion Warning Function
Do not place the watch near light sources that generate
heat while charging (such as lights for photography or
incandescent lights).
The watch may overheat causing a fire, failure, or
malfunction to occur.
Do not charge near a light source with high illuminance
(LED, etc.).The watch and band may causing cause
discoloration.
Be sure to expose the dial to light (recharge the watch) on a
regular basis. This product is powered by solar charging.
Leaving the watch for a long time in a dark place where it is
not charging may result in a low energy level.
Charging Method
The energy level is low if the second hand does not move in
continuous 1-second intervals. Adequately charge the watch.

Estimated Required Charging Time
Charging for longer than the required time for full charge will
not damage the watch.The overcharging prevention function
operates automatically.
This is the time required to charge the watch from 2-second
interval movement to continuous 1-second interval movement
when a stopped watch is exposed to light. If the charging time
is too short, the second hand starts moving in 1-second
intervals but may immediately revert to 2-second interval
movements. Charge in accordance with the estimated
required charging time.
The figures in the table are for reference only.
The actual required charging time may differ depending on the model.
