stable movement of the
watch.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely
l
low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead of the
normal 1-second intervals. The watch remains accurate even while the second
hand is moving at 2-second intervals.
While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot
l
be activated.
If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch
l
is operating, the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch
hands will return to the "0" position.
When this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light.
l
Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in a few days. (For recharging the
watch, see "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH")
TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION
v
•
When wearing the watch, make sure that the watch is not covered by
clothing.
•
When the watch is not in use, leave it in a bright place as long as
possible.
