Charge level indication
The function hand indicates the charge level as follows (LV.1, LV.2 and NG) to
let the user know whether the watch can be used for diving or not.
In the diving mode, consumption of battery power is considerably increased
because the pressure sensor and water sensor are actuated. Before using this
watch for diving, charge the battery sufficiently and confirm the charging level
which is indicated by the function hand.
<When the function hand points at LV.1 (at 56-seconds
position)>
The watch is securing battery power enough for sports diving
at the depth of 20 m (66 ft) or so for about an hour.
* However, when the function hand points at LV.1 as a result
of charging the battery after it was once depleted (after the
status that the function hand indicated NG), be sure to
charge the battery with a lighting of 3000 lux (20 cm under a
fluorescent lamp) for at least 10 minutes before diving.
* If diving continues for more than one hour, pay careful
attention to the indication of the function hand, because the
indication may change to NG from LV.1 during the diving
and the watch may discontinue measuring the depth.
<When the function hand points at “LV.2” (54 seconds)>
The battery is almost fully charged. Accordingly, the watch
can be used reliably for diving.
<When the function hand points at “NG” (58 seconds)>
The watch will not shift to the diving mode because of
insufficient charging. When the watch is in this status, it
cannot be used for diving because its depth meter function
won't be activated.
If the function hand points to “NG” during a dive, immediately
stop using relying on the watch for depth measurement.
