HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH © When you start the watch or when the energy in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely low level, charge it suffi to light. © Instant-start function: ntly by exposing the watch When the watch is exposed to sunlight or strong artificial light (of more than 1,000 lux), it will start operating immediately with the second hand moving at 2-second intervals.

1. Expose the watch to sunlight or strong

Light. Whenthe watch has stopped operating, thesecond hand will start moving at 2-second intervals.

2. Keep the watch exposed to the light until the

second hand moves at 1-second intervals.

3. When the watch is charged after ithas

completely stopped, set the date and before wearing the watch. See “GUIDELINE OF CHARGING TIME/ACCURACY NOTES:

1. When the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light,

the second hand starts moving at 2-secondintervals immediately, but the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If the watch is tumed away from the light, it may stop operating.

2. Itis not necessary to charge the watch fully. lt is important, however, to charge

the watch sufficient}y, especially in case of initial charge. Caution for charging © When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a photoflash light, spotlight, incandescent light or other light sources as the watch temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to the parts inside the watch. © When exposing the watch to sunlight to charge it, do not leave it on the dashboard of a car, etc. for a long time, as the watch temperature becomes extremely high. © While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 50 °C. (For Cal. V110, V145, V181 and V182) © While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed 60 °C. (For Cal. V111)

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION

© When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead of the normal 1-second intervals. English © In that case, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in about 3 days. (For recharging the watch, see “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH"}

+ TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION

+ When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by clothing. + When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as possible. Make sure that the watch temperature does not exceed 50 °C.

NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY
