E-1 Keep the watc h exposed to bright light The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored b y a built-in battery . Leaving or using the watch where it is not e xposed to light causes the battery to r un down. Make sure the watch is e xposed to light as much as possible . • When you are not w earing the watch on your wrist, po[...]

E-2 • The watch continues to operate , ev en when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the w atch in the dark can cause the batter y to run down, which will cause some watch functions to be disab led. If the batter y goes dead, you will hav e to re-configure watch settings after recharging. T o ensure nor mal watch operation, be sure to k eep it e[...]

E-3 • The actual lev el at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model. • F requent display illumination can run do wn the batter y quickly and require charging.
