 Charging your watch

English
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light,
such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps.
After taking off the watch, put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright
light, such as by a window.
The watch can be charged effectively when the dial
is exposed to sunlight as shown in the figure.
For optimal performance, be sure to:
• Charge the watch by exposing it to direct sunlight for
five to six hours at least once a month.
• Avoid leaving the watch in a dark place for long periods
of time.

• If the watch is obscured from light by long sleeves frequently, supplemental charging
may be needed to ensure continual operation.
• Do not charge the watch at high temperature (about 60°C/140°F or higher).
13
 Charging your watch

■ When the watch reaches a low charge state

(insuffi cient charge warning function)
When the watch reaches a low charge state, the insufficient charge warning
function kicks in, and the second hand begins to move in two-second
increments (two-second mode). Charge the watch by exposing its dial to light.
• After some time of charging, the second hand will begin to move in onesecond
increments (normal mode).
• If the watch is left in two-second mode for three days or longer, the watch will
run out of power and stop working.
• The time and date are indicated even during
two-second mode.
• Make sure that the watch is charged and
moving in one-second increments (normal
mode) before setting or adjusting the watch.
• While the insufficient charge warning
function is active, the compensation
mechanism to ensure timekeeping accuracy
remains disabled. Promptly charge the watch.

• When the battery is fully charged, the overcharge protection function stops the charging so that the
watch performance and rechargeable cell are not adversely aff ected by overcharge.
Your watch will run for approximately 7 months from a full charge or up to 1.5 years with the power
save feature engaged (based on a full charge).
After the second hand starts moving once every two seconds, it will last for approximately 3 days.
15
 Charging your watch

■ Power save feature

If you store the watch inside the case or other dark places where no light can
reach the dial of the watch for seven consecutive days or longer, the watch
will automatically stop at the 12 o'clock position to save battery power. In the
meantime, the time is kept internally, whereas the date and power reserve
indicators continue to work normally.
• Th
 e power save feature does not work while the crown is at Position 1 or Position 2 .
• The power save feature cannot be activated manually.

■ To cancel the power save feature

Once the dial of the watch is exposed to light and the battery begins to charge,
power save mode will be cancelled, and the hands will move to point to the current
time. Do not pull the crown out while the power save mode is being cancelled and
the hour, minute, and second hands are moving to point to the current time.
Pulling the crown out causes the hands to stop moving at that moment,
preventing them from pointing correctly to the current time.

40
 Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch handling precautions

English
CAUTION Recharging Precautions
• Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about
60°C/140°F or higher) as doing so may cause the
movement to malfunction.
Examples:
• Charging the watch too close to a light source which
generates a large amount of heat such as an incandescent
lamp or halogen lamp.
* When charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to
leave 50 cm (19-11/16 inch) or more between the lamp
and the watch to avoid exposing the watch to excessive
heat.
• Charging the watch in a location where the temperature
may become extremely high such as on the dashboard of
a vehicle.

41
 Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch handling precautions

<Replacement of Rechargeable Cell>

• This watch utilizes a special rechargeable cell that does not require regular replacement.
However power consumption may increase after using the watch for a number of years due
to wear of internal components and deterioration of oils. This may cause stored power to be
depleted at a faster rate. For optimal performance, we recommend having your watch
inspected (chargeable to the owner) by an Authorized Service center to ensure operation is
within factory specifications.

WARNING Handling of Rechargeable Cell

• The rechargeable cell should never be removed from the watch.
If for any reason it becomes necessary to remove the rechargeable cell from the watch, keep
out of the reach of children to prevent accidental swallowing.
If the rechargeable cell is accidentally swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
• Do not dispose of the rechargeable cell with ordinary garbage. Please follow the instructions
of your municipality regarding collection of batteries to prevent the risk of fire or
environmental contamination.

42
 Eco-Drive (solar powered) watch handling precautions

English
WARNING Use Only the Specified Battery
• Never use a battery other than the rechargeable cell specified for use in this watch.
Although the watch structure is designed so that it will not operate when another type of
battery is installed, if a silver battery or other type of battery is installed in the watch and the
watch is recharged, there is the risk of overcharging which may cause the battery to rupture.
This can cause damage to the watch and injury to the wearer.
When replacing the rechargeable cell, always make sure to use the designated rechargeable cell.

43
 Water resistance
WARNING Water Resistance
• Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your
watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used
properly. (The unit “1bar” is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.)
• WATER RESIST(ANT) ××bar may also be indicated as W.R.××bar.
• Non-water resistant models are not designed to come into contact with any moisture. Take care not
to expose a watch with this rating to any type of moisture.

 Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION To Avoid Injury
• Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid injury.
• Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself
and others.
• Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may become
excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.
• Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since there is a risk of damaging your
fingernails, depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.
• Take off your watch before going to bed.

CAUTION Precautions
• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is of the screw
lock-type, make sure it is securely locked.
• Do NOT operate the crown or any push buttons when the watch is wet. Water may enter the
watch causing damage to vital components.
• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time,
consult your dealer or Authorized Service Center for inspection and/or repair.

46
 Precautionary items and usage limitations

English
• Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.
• If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a
dry cloth.
• Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch.
• Take off your watch before taking a bath.
• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately take it in
for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts (crystal, crown, push button,
etc.) may come off.

CAUTION When Wearing Your Watch

<Band>
• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to
perspiration, body oils and dirt. Be sure to replace the band periodically.
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing
to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water resistant.

47
 Precautionary items and usage limitations

• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow
adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch
with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band
may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost
elasticity or become cracked.
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
• You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
• The pin of the band is protruding.
• We do not recommend attempting to adjust the watch band yourself. Special expertise and
experience is required for proper adjustment. If not adjusted correctly, the band may become
detached leading to loss of your watch. (Some retailers may supply a band adjustment tool with your
purchase).
For band adjustment, we recommend you consult the retailer from where the watch was purchased
or your nearest Authorized Citizen Service Center. Some repair shops may charge a nominal fee for
adjustment if the watch was not purchased directly from them.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low
temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications.
48
 Precautionary items and usage limitations

English
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to
strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch
from keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic
health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches
of refrigerator doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking
devices and so on.
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/or
performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note the
watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline,
nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.)
are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials.
Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used
in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case.
49
 Precautionary items and usage limitations

<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.).
Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts,
which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.

CAUTION Always Keep Your Watch Clean

• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not become

Caring for Your Watch
• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For a metallic, plastic or rubber (urethane) watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the
small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush.
• For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any
perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to excessively
high or low temperatures and high humidity.

<When Luminous Paint is used for your watch>

The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous
paint stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place.
It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or
environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and
distance from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.
