• To ensure optimal performance of the watch, make sure that the watch is kept sufficiently charged at all times.
• Under the following situations, the energy of the watch is likely to be depleted, resulting in the stoppage of the watch:
• The watch is concealed under a sleeve.
• The watch is used or stored under conditions where it cannot be exposed to light for a long time.
• Be careful to make sure that the watch does not get hot when it is charging. (The operating temperature range is – 10°C to +60°C.)
• When you first start using the watch or starting it after it stopped due to a lack of charge, charge the watch sufficiently using the table on P.27 as a guide.

Guide to charging times

• Charge the watch using the times below as a guide.
• The figures of “Time required for charging the watch to start moving at one-second intervals” are estimations of time required to charge the stopped watch by exposing it to light until it moves at steady one-second intervals. Even if the watch is partially charged for a shorter period, the watch will resume one-second interval movement. However, it may shortly return to a two-second interval movement. Use the charging time in this column as a rough guide for sufficient charging time.
• The required charging time slightly varies depending on the model of the watch.

• If the stopwatch is used, it will automatically reset and the display will change to the “charge level display”.

  • Please be aware that immediately after charging, the energy level display may show a level one higher than the actual level.

Power Source

• The battery used in this watch is a special secondary battery, which is different from ordinary batteries.
• Unlike an ordinary silver oxide battery, the secondary battery does not require periodic replacement.
• The capacity or charging efficiency may gradually lower due to long-term use or operating environment.
• In addition, long-term use may shorten the charge duration due to wear, contamination, lubricant deterioration of mechanical parts, etc. Request repair when the performance lowers.

WARNING

• Notes on replacing the secondary battery

• Do not remove the secondary battery from the watch.
  Replacement of the secondary battery requires professional knowledge and skill.

• Please ask the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for the replacement of the secondary battery.

• Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition.

• Overcharge prevention function

• When the secondary battery is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function is automatically activated to avoid further charging.

• There is no need to worry about damage caused by overcharging no matter how much the secondary battery is charged in excess of the “time required for fully charging the watch.”

• For the required time to fully charge the battery, see “Guide to charging times” → P.27.

WARNING

• Notes on charging the watch
• When charging the watch, do not place the watch in close proximity to an intense light source such as lighting equipment for photography, spotlights or incandescent lights, as the watch may be excessively heated resulting in damage to its internal parts.

Lumibrite

If your watch has Lumibrite
Lumibrite is a luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight and lighting apparatuses in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark. For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, Lumibrite can emit light for 3 to 5 hours. Please note, however, that, as Lumibrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.

• In general, when coming from a place that is bright to a place that is dark, it takes human eyes some time to adapt to the darkness making it difficult to see objects initially. (Dark adaptation)
• Lumibrite is luminous paint that stores and emits light, which is harmless to human beings and the environment, containing no toxic materials such as radioactive substances.
