[Insufficient Charging Warning Feature]
When the capacity of the secondary battery decreases as a result of light not
shining on the solar cell, the second hand switches from 1-second interval
movement to 2-second interval movement (insufficient charging warning
feature). Although the watch continues to keep time accurately at this time, the
watch stops after about 5 days have elapsed after the second hand has
switched to 2-second interval movement. When this happens, charge the
watch by exposing it to light until the second hand returns to 1-second interval
movement.
Notes: • During chronograph
measurement, measurement
stops and the chronograph
second hand is reset to the 0
seconds position.
• The chronograph minute hand
stops at any arbitrary position.
Return it to the 0 minutes position
by pressing button (B).

[Quick Start Feature]
If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, the second
hand will begin 2-second interval movement and the watch will begin to run
about 10 seconds after the watch is exposed to light (approx. 500 lx). (The
time until the hands begin to move varies depending on the model.) Please
note, however, that the watch will stop again if the watch is blocked from the
light and is not sufficiently charged.
