Periodically expose the watch dial to daylight
This watch uses a rechargeable cell to store electrical energy. This is an environmentally
clean cell that does not use any harmful substances such as mercury.
Once the rechargeable cell is fully charged, (and the power saving feature is operative)
the watch will function for approximately 9 months (E81*)/24 months (E82*) without
additional exposure to light.
Guide to Charging Time
Most users nd that their watch receives more than enough light to keep it charged
through their normal daily routine.
During normal operation, the charge necessary for the watch to operate for one day can
be obtained in approximately 10 minutes per day when charged outdoors in direct
sunlight, and in 4 hours per day when charged by indoor illumination.
If your watch is not exposed to light regularly and to prevent the watch from stopping
due to an insufcient charge, we recommend that you charge the watch for 5 to 6 hours
under direct sunlight once a month.
