Zeroing the Chronograph Second Hand [Setting the Time] This solar-powered watch contains a solar cell in its face that drives the watch by converting light energy into electrical energy. It is also equipped with numerous functions, including a 24-hour display and a chronograph function capable of timing in 1-second-intervals. Chronograph second hand Button (B) <Timing Procedure> <Helpful Hint for Setting the Time Accurately> About the crown Before operation [Correct 00 minutes position of chronograph minute hand] Note: Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/ or corrosion of the metal parts. Chronograph second hand • Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from keeping time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on. • Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/or performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet. <Static Electricity> • The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note that the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity. <Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury> • If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline, nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be careful when handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band and case. <Protective Stickers> • Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts. Always Keep Your Watch Clean • Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not become stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter. • T he case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin in the same manner as undergarments. Corrosion of the metal or unnoticed soiling such as that caused by perspiration and dirt can soil sleeves and other portions of clothing. Keep your watch clean at all times. • T he case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. If you think there is something wrong, discontinue wearing the watch immediately and consult your physician. In the case of accumulation of sweat or dirt on a metal band or case, clean thoroughly using a brush and neutral detergent. In the case of a leather band, wipe clean using a dry cloth. • L eather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather band clean by wiping with a dry cloth. CAUTION <Free Guarantee> In the case a malfunction has occurred during the course of normal use while the watch is till under warranty, the watch will be repaired free of charge in accordance with the conditions of the warranty included with this manual. <Stock Period of Repair Parts> Our standard period for stocking repair parts for each model is generally seven year. When an exterior part such as the watch case, glass, dial, hand, crown or band is damaged, a spare part with different appearance may sometimes be used. <Repair Period> Repairs can be performed on your watch within the repair parts stock period even after the free guarantee has expired. However, you will be charged for these repairs. Please take the watch to the shop where you purchased it and ask whether it can be repaired because the repair period varies according to the conditions of use, environment and so forth. Moreover, there are cases in which it is difficult to restore the watch to its original accuracy when decreased accuracy has resulted from long-term use. <Change of Address or Receiving as a Gift> In the event that you have moved or have received your watch as a gift, and are not able to bring your watch to the shop where it was purchased for serving, please consult Customer Support Center. <Periodic Inspection (Charge Basis)> <Strong Shock> CAUTION Warranty and Service Recharging Precautions • Do not charge the watch at a high temperature (about 60°C or higher) as doing so may cause the movement to malfunction. Examples: • Charging the watch too close to a light source which generates a large amount of heat such as an incandescent lamp or halogen lamp. * W hen charging under an incandescent lamp, be sure to leave 50cm or more between the lamp and the watch to avoid exposing the watch to excessive heat. • Charging the watch in a location where the temperature may become extremely high such as on the dashboard of a vehicle. Caring for Your Watch • Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth. • For a metallic, plastic or rubber (urethane) watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush. • For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth. • If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity. When Luminous Paint is used for your watch The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place. It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or environment. • T he light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes. • T he duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and distance from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint. • T he paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient. • Water resistance As the water resistance will be reduced over time, you should have your watch inspected and its water resistance verified every 2-3 years (charge basis) to extend its life and ensure safety. To maintain its water resistance, it is recommended to request us to replace the packings and other parts of your watch. • Disassembling for internal cleaning (repair) You should have your watch disassembled and its internal components cleaned periodically to extend its life. Lubrication oils are used to reduce wearing of moving parts such as gears. However, over time the lubrication oils will degrade and wear will increase, eventually resulting in malfunction. Please have your watch undergo internal cleaning once every 5 years as a guide. <Other Inquiries> If you have any questions regarding the way warranty, repairs or other matters, please inquire at the shop where you purchased your watch or Customer Support Center.
