Energy Depletion Forewarning Function; Note On Power Supply - Seiko coutura SSC745 Manual De Instrucciones

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION

When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an
l
extremely 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.
When this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing
l
it to light. Otherwise, the watch will stop operating within 48 hours. For
recharging the watch, see "HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH."
(P.21)
•
While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot be activated.
This is not a malfunction.
•
If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch is operating, the
stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch hands will return to the 0 position.
TO PREVENT THE ENERGY DEPLETION

NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY

The battery used in this watch is a rechargeable battery, which is different
l
from ordinary silver oxide batteries. Unlike other disposable batteries
such as dry-cell batteries or button cells, this rechargeable battery can
be used over and over again by repeating the cycles of discharging and
recharging.
The capacity or recharging efficiency of the rechargeable battery may
l
gradually deteriorate for various reasons such as long-term use or usage
conditions. Worn or contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils
may also shorten recharging cycles. If the efficiency of the rechargeable
battery decreases, it will be necessary to have the watch repaired.
CAUTION
Do not remove the rechargeable battery yourself. Replacement of
l
the rechargeable battery requires professional knowledge and skill.
Please ask a watch retailer for replacement of the rechargeable
battery.
Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that
l
can cause bursting and ignition.
