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 20 days. (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 20 days
or so.
If the watch warns you to set the time.
When the watch that has stopped is
exposed to light, the second hand
starts the hitch 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 hitch movement to tell you that the
watch indicates an incorrect time because it has
stopped. (Time Setting Warning function)
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.
H. PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: Water-resistance performance
There are several types of water-resistant watches,
as shown in the following table. For correct use
within the design limits of the watch, confirm the
level of water-resistance of your watch, as indicated
on the dial and case, and consult the table.
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres):
This type of watch is water-resistant to minor
exposure to water. For example, you may wear
the watch while washing your face; however it is
not designed for use underwater.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use
(to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-
resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may
wear the watch while swimming; however, it is
not designed for use while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use
(to 10/20 atmospheres): This type of watch may be
used for skin diving; however, it is not designed
for scuba or saturated diving using helium gas.
