<Insufficient Charge Warning Feature>
When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the
second hand begins 2-second interval movement to
indicate that the watch is insufficiently charged.
• Although the watch continues to run normally at this
time, the watch will stop after about 4 days have passed
since the watch has become insufficiently charged.
Charge the watch by exposing to light to return to the original 1-second interval
movement. Sufficiently charge the watch even after it has returned to 1-second
interval movement to ensure that it can be used comfortably. There is no risk of
overcharging since the watch is provided with an overcharging prevention feature.
• Although the watch will begin to run again when exposed to light after it has
stopped due to being insufficiently charged, since the time is incorrect, reset the time
after sufficiently charging the watch.

<Overcharging Prevention Feature>
When the secondary battery becomes fully charged as a result of exposing the watch dial
(solar cell) to light, the overcharging prevention feature is activated automatically to
prevent the battery from being charged further. Consequently, there is no degradation in
the performance of the solar cell or secondary battery no matter how often the watch is
charged. This lets you expose the watch to light without worrying about overcharging.
<Quick Start Feature>
The watch will stop running if it is not charged at all. The watch hands will begin to
move after about 10 seconds when the watch is exposed to light. (The time until the
hands begin to move varies depending on the model of the watch and the intensity of the
light.) However, please note that the watch may stop again since it will not be
adequately charged if the light is blocked at this time.
