FEATURES

This watch is a solar-powered watch containing a solar cell underneath the dial to convert any form of light into ‘electrical energy’ and store the power in a secondary battery.
Unlike conventional quartz watches, this watch does not use a silver oxide battery, thus eliminating the need for battery replacement.
Running Time: Expected running time from full charge to stoppage will be around 4 months.
Overcharge prevent function: If the secondary battery is charged more than the predetermined voltage, the overcharge prevent function is operated to prevent the secondary battery deterioration and breakage.
Power depletion warning function: When the energy stored in the secondary battery is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals, instead of the normal one-second. In that case, recharge the watch as soon as
possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 2 weeks.

CHARGING AND STARTING THE WATCH

Expose the watch to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than 1000Lx)
Keep the watch exposed to the light until the second-hand movers at 1 second intervals.
When the watch is charged after it has completely stopped, set the date and time before wearing the watch.

Caution: When charging the watch, do not place it too close to the fluorescent lamp or other light sources as the watch temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to the parts inside the watch.

To prevent energy depletion: Avoid covering the watch face with your clothing while wearing it. When the watch is not in use leave it in a brightly lit place as long as possible. Make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50 degrees celsius.
