8. Viewing the Charge Indicator
• The charge indicator uses four levels to provide a general indication of the current
charge level of the secondary battery.
• The charge indicator hand points to the center of each level.
• The charge indicator only provides a rough estimate of the battery level. You can refer
to this level when using your watch. It is recommended that the watch normally be
charged to at least level 2 when using.
• The duration of a level after the watch is fully charged varies based on chronograph
use.

[Note]
When the charge indicator hand points to “CHARGE”, there is very little charge left in the
secondary battery and the second hand moves in 2-second intervals. The secondary battery will
run out of power in about 6 days, and the watch will stop. Be sure to charge the watch before it
reaches this state.
