NOTES:
1. If your watch has a second hand, when the instant-start function is activated after
the watch is exposed to light, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals
immediately, but the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If
the watch is turned away from the light, it may stop operating.
2. It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge
the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.
CAUTION
Caution for charging
When charging the watch, do not place it too close to a photoflash
l
light, spotlight, incandescent light or other light sources as the watch
temperature will become extremely high, causing damage to the parts
inside the watch.
When exposing the watch to sunlight to charge it, do not leave it on the
l
dashboard of a car, etc. for a long time, as the watch temperature becomes
extremely high.
While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not
l
exceed 50 °C. (For Cal. V110, V145, V181 and V182)
While charging the watch, make sure the watch temperature does not exceed
l
60 °C. (For Cal. V111, V114, V115, V116, V117, V137, V147, V157, V158 and V187)
