English 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. ● 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") v 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. 12 NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY ● This watch is provided with a rechargeable battery for exclusive use with the watch. Unlike conventional battery-powered watches, therefore, battery replacement is not necessary. ● The solar cell is a clean energy source, having no adverse effect on the natural environment. CAUTION ● Never insert a conventional silver oxide battery in your watch as it may explode, generate an intense heat or catch fire. The watch is so designed that if a wrong battery is installed in the watch, the watch will not operate.
