How to charge the battery
Expose the dial to light to charge the watch.
To ensure optimal performance of the watch, make sure that the watch is kept sufficiently charged at all times.
Under the following situations, the energy of the watch is likely to be depleted, resulting in stoppage of the watch:
The watch is concealed under a sleeve.
The watch is used or stored under conditions where it cannot be exposed to light for a long time.
Be careful to make sure that the watch does not get hot when it is charging. (The operating temperature range is 0°C to +50°C.)
When you first start using the watch or starting it after it stopped due to a lack of charge, charge the watch sufficiently using the table on Guide to charging times as a guide.

Energy levels
Two-second hand movement
When the energy level is low, the seconds hand will move every two seconds, which is called “two-second hand movement”.
If energy is completely depleted after that, the watch stops.
If “two-second hand movement” occurs, sufficiently charge the battery. How to charge the battery
During two-second hand movement, the light will not function and the alarm tone/operation confirmation sound will stop.
Energy level
The energy level can be checked by holding down Button unless the digital display is showing the stopwatch.
If the energy level falls to “BATT 6” or below, try to charge the battery.
