When the watch becomes insufficiently charged
due to not exposing the dial (solar cell) to light
*1: If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, a minimum of about 30 minutes
are required until recovery automatic reception even if the watch is exposed to light.
*2: If recovery automatic reception has failed, the watch begins to run after returning to the time when
the watch stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged. In this case, although the second hand
moves at one second intervals, since the time is incorrect, first set the time manually or by free
reception before using the watch.
