Before Using the Watch for the First Time

• Depending on your watch model, there may be a spacer installed at the factory around the crown. If your watch has a spacer, you should remove the spacer before using the watch.
• After removing the spacer, use the procedures in “Crown Operations” and “To adjust the time setting” to set up the watch for use.

Crown Operations

Some water-resistant models (10BAR, 20BAR) have a screw in crown. When you need to perform a crown operation, rotate it towards you to unscrew it. Then pull the crown out. Avoid applying undue force when pulling. The watch loses its water resistance while the crown is unscrewed. After performing a crown operation, fully screw the crown back in.

If your watch has a rotary bezel….

You can rotate the bezel to align its mark with the minute hand. Then you will be able to tell how much time has elapsed since aligning the mark.

 

Solar Charging

A solar panel generates electrical power that charges a built-in (secondary) battery. The entire face is a solar panel, so power is generated when the face is exposed to light. Keep the watch exposed to light as much as possible.Charging the BatteryWhen you are not wearing the watch, leave it where it is exposed to light. For stable operation, expose the watch to at least a half day of light per month.When wearing the watch, try to keep your clothing from blocking its face (solar panel). Charging efficiency is reduced significantly even if the face is blocked only partially.

Caution!

• The case of the watch may become quite hot when charging. Guard against burn injury after charging.
• Avoid charging in the following locations, and anywhere else where the watch may become very hot.
  • On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun
  • Close to an incandescent light source or other sources of heat.
  • Locations exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.

 Battery Indicator

The battery level/stopwatch minute hand normally indicates the approximate amount of remaining operating time of the battery will provide.

• Battery operating time is not indicated while the stopwatch is in use.
• After resetting the stopwatch to all zeros, the stopwatch minute hand will go back to indicating battery operating time if you press or if you do not perform any operation for 60 seconds.

Approximate Battery Operating Time

H	At least five months	Good (high charge)
M	Two days to five months	Good (medium charge)
L	No more than two days	Low

Low Charge and Dead Battery Conditions

An alert operation is performed when the battery charge goes low.

Low Battery Alert

The second hand will jump at two-second intervals to alert you when the charge is low.

Charging Time

The times below are general guidelines for reference only.

Charging Time to Support Daily Use

Exposure Level (Brightness)	Approximate Charging Time
Outdoor sunlight (50,000 lux)	8 minutes
Sunlight through a window (10,000 lux)	30 minutes
Daylight through a window on an overcast day (5,000 lux)	48 minutes
Indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux)	8 Hours

Charging Time Required to Restore Operation from a Dead Battery

Exposure Level (Brightness)	Approximate Charging Time to 1-second Hand Movement	Approximate Time to Full Charge
Outdoor sunlight (50,000 lux)	4 hours	14 hours
Sunlight through a window (10,000 lux)	11 hours	66 hours
Daylight through a window on an overcast day (5,000 lux)	14 hours	114 hours
Indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux)	195 hours	–       –   –

Note: Actual charging time depends on environmental conditions.

Indicators and Crown Operation

• Avoid changing the day indicator setting between the hours of 9 p.m. and 1 a.m.Otherwise, the day indicator may not change correctly at midnight.

Using the Stopwatch

The stopwatch measures elapsed time in 1-second increments up to 59 minutes, 59 seconds.

Elapsed Time

Split Time

Two Finishes 

Important!

• Do not operate the stopwatch with the crown pulled out.

Note:

• An elapsed time operation will stop automatically at the end of 60 minutes.

Correcting Stopwatch Hand Alignment

Perform the following procedure if the stopwatch hands do not return to their home positions (12 o’clock or L) when you reset the stopwatch.

1. When the second hand is at 12 o’clock, pull the out to Click 2.
2. Hold downfor at least two seconds.
   • The Stopwatch Minute Hand will rotate to indicate the minute hand setting mode.
   • If the hand does not align with L, use thebutton to adjust it. x Holding down B moves the current hand at high speed.
3. Press .
   • The Stopwatch Second Hand will perform one full rotation to indicate the second hand setting mode.
   • If the hand does not align with 12 o’clock, use the button to adjust it.
   • Holding downmoves the current hand at high speed.
4. After all of the hands are the way you want, push the back in.

Important!

• Timekeeping stops while the crown is pulled out. Correct the current time setting after performing the above operation.

Abnormal Hand Movement of Function

Should the watch ever exhibit abnormal hand movement or function, or if the second hand does not move normally (one-second increments) even after the watch is fully charges, perform the procedure below to perform a system reset.

1. Pull the out to Click 2.
2. Hold down both and for at least two seconds.
