Use the indicated altitude only as a reference. Do not use the altitude measurement function of this watch in the following cases: • When actions or situation judgments involving risks are required. WARNING • When rapid changes in altitude occur such as when skydiving or hang- gliding. • When wearing the watch under water such as in skin diving. • When the situation requires special treatments. Altitude may be measured improperly in the following cases: • When air temperature changes sharply. CAUTION • When atmospheric pressure largely changes accompanying with changes of weather conditions. • When the function is used in places where atmospheric pressure is conditioned constant (such as in an airplane). 3 Before using this watch About the compass This watch does not function as a specialized compass instrument certified by any authority or regulating standards. Use the indicated compass direction only as a reference. Do not use the compass function of this watch in the following cases: WARNING • When precise directional indication is required for navigational or other activities with serious risks. Compass direction may be measured improperly in the following cases: • When the watch is not kept level. CAUTION • When the surrounding magnetic field is disturbed. • When air temperature changes sharply. • When surrounded by reinforced concrete wall or things made of iron. • When electric cables, electric trains or electric products exist around. When storing the watch Avoid places or things with strong magnetism when storing this watch. 4 Before using this watch After unpacking, the following must be done before using the watch: • Checking the power reserve see page 16 For optimal performance, ensure your watch is fully charged prior to use. Refer to pages 12 to 15 for charging procedures and times. This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light. Expose the dial to direct sunlight regularly to charge the watch. For details of charging, see pages 12 to 17. 5 Before using this watch Before using this watch Band adjustment We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing of your watch.

Scale • The illustrations in this instruction manual may differ from the actual appearance of your watch. 11 Charging your watch This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by exposing the dial to light, such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamps (refer to pages 14 and 15 for charging guidelines). After taking off the watch, put it in a location where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as by a window. For optimal performance, be sure to: • Expose it to direct sunlight for 5 or 6 hours at least once a month. • Avoid leaving the watch in dark places for long periods of time. Caution • Do not charge the watch at high temperature (about 140 °F (60 °C) or higher). • If the watch is obscured from light by long sleeves frequently, supplemental charging may be needed to ensure continual operation. Refer to pages 14 and 15. 12 Charging your watch m ) 10 (- 1 0 0 (- 9 9 0 When the watch reaches a low charge state (insufficient charge warning ) ) 0 2 - 2 ( 0 0 ( function) (-80) - 8 8 0 ) When the power reserve becomes low, the second hand 4 400 E W ) 0 3 3 - ( - E 0 moves once every two seconds.
