English NOTES: 1 When the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals immediately, but the energy stored in the rechargeable bat- tery is not sufficient. If the watch is turned away from the light, it may stop operating. 2 It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge the watch suf- ficiently, especially in case of initial charge. CAUTION 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 60 °C. 10 English SCREW DOWN CROWN • Your watch has a screw down crown to prevent accidental operation and help maintain water-resistant quality. • To use the crown, it is necessary to unlock the crown first before pulling it out, and it is important to securely screw the crown in after each use. HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW DOWN CROWN The crown must be securely locked in the case except when you use it to set the watch. Turn the crown counterclockwise to unscrew it. The crown is released and projected outward from its original position. The crown is unlocked and can be pulled out. The crown is locked. Turn the crown clockwise while pressing it to the case until it is screwed all the way in and locked. 1. Before diving, make sure that the crown is locked tightly in place. 2. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. 3. When screwing the crown in, ensure that the crown is correctly aligned and turn it gently. If it is hard to turn, unscrew it first, and then rewind it. Do not screw it in by force as it may damage the thread of the screw or the case. 11
