Operation Guide 3334

❚

Positioning Your Arm Correctly

• You should be wearing the watch on the outside of your wrist

when using the auto light switch.

• Make sure that the left (9 o’clock)

and right (3 o’clock) sides of the

watch are within ±15 degrees of

being parallel with the ground.

The auto light switch may not

operate properly if the angle is

greater.

Important!

• The light may be difficult to see if you turn it on under bright

sunlight.

• If you press the L button or if an alarm operation starts while the

display is illuminated, illumination will turn off.

❚

Charging Precautions

Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere

else the watch may become very hot.

• On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun

• Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of

heat

• In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

Note that the display panel may become black under very high

temperatures. This is temporary, and the display will appear

normal again at lower temperatures.

Depending on the light source you are using, the

case of the watch may become quite hot during

charging. Take care to guard against burn injury

after charging.

❚

Charging the Battery

Point the solar panel (face) of the watch at a light source.

• Remember that even a partial blockage of the solar cell reduces

charging efficiency.

Example: Positioning the watch

Charging Guide

Starting from a full charge, the watch

should be able to continue operating

for about seven months without

further charging under the conditions

described below.

Daily Use (All time values are

approximate.)

• Illumination: 1.5 seconds

• Alarms: 10 seconds

• Signal reception: 5 times

• Digital display: 18 hours

Making sure the watch is regularly

exposed to light ensure stable

operation.

• Note that the above charging times are for reference only. Actual

charging time depends on a variety of environmental factors.

The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate

electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using

or storing the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or

allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve as you are

wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable battery to run

down. To ensure stable operation, be sure to allow the watch to be

exposed to light as much as possible when you are wearing or

storing it.

Note that all data in memory and all settings are cleared

whenever you allow the level of the rechargeable battery

to drop to Level 4.

Flashing RECOVER Indicator

If you use the light or alarms a number of times during a short

period, a RECOVER indicator flashes in the top dial, and the

following operations become disabled as battery power recovers.

• Illumination

• Alarm and Hourly Time Signal

• Time calibration signal reception

Normal operation will return after the

battery recovers.

Power Supply

Auto Light Precautions

• Frequent use of the auto light can run down the battery.

• The auto light switch may cause the display to illuminate when

your sleeve covers the display of the watch.

• The display may not illuminate immediately when you angle the

watch towards your face. This does not indicate malfunction.

• The display remains lit for the currently set illumination duration

(1.5 or 2.5 seconds) only, even if you leave the watch angled

towards your face.

• The auto light switch is automatically disabled whenever battery

power is at Level 3 or lower.

• The display may illuminate unintentionally when you wear the

watch on the inside of your wrist, when you shake your arm, or

when you raise your arm. Be sure to turn off the auto light

switch whenever you do not need illumination.

• Keep the auto light switch turned off whenever you are wearing

the watch on the inside of your wrist.

• Electro-static charge and magnetism can interfere with auto light

operation and even make operation impossible. If this happens

lower your arm to the starting position and then raise it again. If

you still have trouble with illumination, try lowering your arm down

to your side and then raise it to your face for reading.

• Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may cause

the battery level indicator to momentarily indicate a level that is higher

than the actual battery level. Because of this, you should wait for a

short while after charging to check the battery level indicator.

• Even if the battery level drops all the way to Level 4, you will still

be able to recharge the battery and use the watch again.

• When recharging from Level 4, set the current time and date after

the battery level recharges to Level 3. At this time you should

continue to expose the watch to light so it can charge up to Level

2 or Level 1.

❚

Start charging at Level 3!

Battery Level 3 indicates that remaining battery power is very low.

Be sure to expose the watch to light for recharging as soon as

possible after the battery level indicator shows Level 3.

Illuminating the Display with the

Auto Light Switch

The auto light switch automatically illuminates the display

whenever you angle the watch towards your face for reading,

but only when it is dark.

You can use the procedure under “Specifying the Illumination

Duration” to configure the illumination duration as

approximately 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds.

• The auto light switch does not illuminate the display when

surrounding light is bright.

The auto light switch illuminates the display in all modes.

Turning the Auto Light Switch On and Off

In any mode, hold down the L button for about two seconds to

toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator

displayed in the upper dial) and off (no indicator displayed).

Auto light switch

on indicator

An LED is used to illuminate the display for easy reading in the

dark. An auto light switch automatically turns on illumination when

you angle the watch towards your face for reading.

Illuminating the Display Manually

Press the

L button in any

mode to illuminate the display.

• You can use the procedure under

“Specifying the Illumination

Duration” to configure the

illumination duration as

approximately 1.5 seconds or 2.5

seconds.

• Pressing the L button

illuminates the display regardless

of whether the auto light switch is

on or off.

You may hear a faint rattling sound when you move the watch

around. This sound is caused by the movement of a metal

bulb that controls operation of the auto light switch, and does

not indicate malfunction.
