1. Starting your wristwatch

For rapid charging, you should hold your wristwatch in bright light

(e. g. sunlight or neon light).

The time required to charge your wristwatch depends on the intensity of

the light source. As a guide, the following tables contain approximate

charging times. Please note that, to avoid damage, your watch must not

be exposed to temperatures below – 5°C or above + 50°C.

Important: Never hold your solar wristwatch too near to light sources

which give off heat! Do not leave your watch in direct sunlight for long

periods of time. Temperatures above 50°C may cause damage.

GB xCharging times may vary slightly from watch to watch. We recom-

mend charging your solar wristwatch a little each day to avoid the

energy store running down completely.

xNormal daylight is sufficient for continuous operation of your solar

wristwatch. Avoid covering the dial completely with your sleeve, as

otherwise no light can reach it.

xWhen the energy store is fully charged, your solar wristwatch will

run for at least 2 months even in darkness.

xIf you do not wear your solar wirstwatch, you should keep it in a

light place to ensure that it is always ready for use.

2.2.4. Charge level indication for solar wristwatches without second

hand and date

xIf your solar wristwatch is running out of energy, the following

charge level indication will commence.

xThe minute hand begins to move in a 10-second rhythm (6 steps) per

minute. Your solar wristwatch will nevertheless continue to run for

approx. 2 Weeks and still show the exact time.

3. Technical information that is interesting for you

xYour wristwatch draws its energy from sunlight or artificial light.

The integrated solar cell converts the light into electrical energy, which

supplies the quartz movement.

xEven if you do not use your watch for a long period, it will still

recharge itself when held in the light.

xThe innovative energy store ensures that your solar wristwatch keeps

running in half-light and even in darkness.

xThe hight-performance energy store which performs this function has

an almost unlimited life at full output capacity.

xDo not under any circumstances replace the energy store with a

conventional silver-oxide battery, as this may cause damage to your

solar wristwatch.

xTo ensure a long service life, you should take your solar wirstwatch

to a watch specialist every 3 years to have it tested for water resistance

and the oil level in the wheel train.

xPlease make sure that your solar wristwatch is not subjected to heavy

blows or extreme temperatures. Otherwise, damage may be caused to

the high-precision electronic circuit, the miniature stepping motor and

the solar cell.

5. Important additional information for if your solar wristwatch stops.

x Please check whether the crown (winder) has been pulled out. If so,

press it back in, your solar wristwatch will then start running again.

x If your solar wristwatch does not run even with the crown pressd in:

Your watch has not received enough light. Put it in a bright place (sun-

light or neon light). It will then start up as soon as the energy store has

been sufficiently charged. The time required for this varies according to

the light intensity and the model of watch. A guide to charging times is

given in the corresponding tables.

x If the date has not changed: Have you set your watch to the correct

time of day? Please follow the procedure described in Section 2.1.1.
