When the watch is charged by sufficiently exposing to light (reset the time and date)
* Once the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, it takes a minimum of about
30 minutes for the watch to start running again even if it is exposed to light.
<Insufficient Charge Warning Function>
· The second hand switches from 1-second
interval movement to 2-second interval
movement to indicate that the watch has
become insufficiently charged.
The watch stops due to being insufficiently
charged after about 5 days have passed
since the start of 2-second interval
movement.
<Over Charge Prevention Function>
· When the secondary battery becomes fully
charged as result of light shining into the
solar cell, the over charge prevention
function is activated automatically to
prevent the battery from being charged
further. This prevents charging from having
an effect on the secondary battery,
timekeeping accuracy, functions or
performance of the watch no matter how
much the watch is charged.
