[. . . ] Note (1): Pay attention to AM and PM when correcting the time difference. (2): When returning the time difference to its original setting, return the hour hand in the opposite direction in which it was corrected. 14 Example: Setting the time in London (local time) when the time in Tokyo (home time) is 10:00 AM: The time difference between Tokyo and London is -9 hours. Since it is 1:00 AM in London when it is 10:00 AM in Tokyo, in the case of correcting the time difference at this time: 1. Turn the crown to the left to turn the hands backward (counter-clockwise) by 9 hours. Note: If the crown is turned to the right to move the hands clockwise to set the time to 1:00, the time will be 1:00 PM and the calendar function will not operate correctly, preventing the date from changing at the proper time. 15 ­­Case of Correcting Time Difference by ­9 Hours­­ <Proper Correction Procedure> <Improper Correction Procedure> The time difference cannot be corrected when the second hand is moving at two-second intervals indicating that the watch is insufficiently charged. Reset the time after the watch has been sufficiently charged. The second hand will continue to move irregularly at two-second intervals unless the time is reset. Irregular two-second interval movement 2 seconds 2 seconds 22 23 <Overcharging Prevention Function> The overcharging prevention function is activated when the secondary battery is fully charged so that it is not charged further. <Power Save Function> When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining on the solar cell continuously for 2 hours, the second hand stops at the 12:00 position and the watch enters the Power Save state to reduce power consumption of the secondary battery. The minute hand stops simultaneous to stopping of the second hand. The hour hand continues to keep time by moving at one-hour intervals, and the date changes with the movement of the hour hand. The power save function does not operate when the crown is pulled out. Note: The power save function is not activated even when power is not generated as a result of light not shining on the solar cell during the time the secondary battery is fully charged and the overcharging prevention function is activated. <Canceling Power Save> The power save function is canceled when the solar cell is exposed to light and power generation is resumed. The minute and second hands advance rapidly to the current time and begin moving. 24 6. General Reference for Charging Times The time required for recharging varies according to the model of the watch (color of the dial, etc. ). The following times are shown below to serve only as a reference. *Recharging time refers to the amount of time the watch is continuously exposed to light. Illuminance (lux) 500 Environment Charging time Charging time Charging time from the Charging time stopped state to 1from stopped state for 1 day of second interval to fully charged operation movement 2. 5 hours 53 hours 470 hours Inside an ordinary office 60-70 cm(24-28in. ) under 1. 5 hours 26 hours 216 hours 1, 000 fluorescent light (30 W) 26 minutes 9 hours 3, 000 20 cm(8 in. ) under W) 69 hours fluorescent light (30 Outdoors, cloudy 9 minutes 24 hours 3 hours 10, 000 weather 7 minutes 100, 000 Outdoors, summer, 50 minutes 16 hours under direct sunlight Full recharging time: Time required for recharging the watch from the stopped state to fully charged. Charging time for 1 day of operation: Time required for recharging the watch to run for 1 day at 1second interval movement. 25 7. Notes Regarding Handling of this Watch <Try to keep the watch charged at all times. > Please note that if you frequently wear long sleeves, the watch can easily become insufficiently charged as a result of it being concealed and unable to be exposed to light. * When you take the watch off, try to place it in as bright a location as possible to ensure that it always keeps the correct time. 8. Replacing the Secondary Battery The secondary battery used in this watch does not have to be periodically replaced in the manner of ordinary batteries since it is able to be charged and discharged repeatedly. [Charging Precautions] *Avoid recharging at high temperatures (over about 60°C/140°F) since this may result in damage to the watch during recharging. Examples: * Charging the watch in close proximity to an incandescent lamp, halogen lamp or other light source that can easily reach high temperatures. [. . . ] Water may enter the watch and compromise water-resistance. · If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry cloth. · If moisture has entered the watch, or if the inside of the crystal is fogged up and does not become clear within a day, immediately take the watch to your dealer or Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will allow 34 CAUTION: Operating environment · Use the watch within the operating temperature range specified in the instruction manual. [. . . ]
