CHECKING THE SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

<How to check the solar power generation with the watch>

)  Remove the 

ql

  RECHARGEABLE BATTERY UNIT from 

the watch.

2)  Pull out the crown to the 2nd click in order to reset the 

circuit. 

3)  Connect the (-) probe to the (-) input terminal for the 

SOLAR CELL and (+) probe to the 

wa

 CIRCUIT BLOCK 

COVER (as illustrated in Fig. 3). 

*   When measuring the voltage using the SEIKO digital 

multi-tester (S-860), use the range of V (Fig. 4).

4)  Expose the watch to the light of a fluorescent lamp 

(use the one with 5 to 20 watts) at a distance of 5 cm 
while connecting the probes to the watch (Fig. 5). 

5)  Read the measurement and check if it exceeds .8 V.
