Display of state of charging / Power Reserve
Level 1 (white):
The battery is unloading or has too low
power to operate the clock. Charging time minimum
8 hours under sunlight. The battery should be charged
up to the orange area (Level 3) of the scale.
After charging the clock must be calibrated
again (see Point 6).
Level 2 (yellow):
The battery is not charged enough. Under these
conditions, some functions such as the
transmitter signal are limited/not available. The
battery has to be charged.
Level 3 (orange):
The battery is in a normal fully
charged state and has a duration of 6
to 8 months. This charged state is recommended
when used daily.
Level 4 (red) – Test Level:
The battery is above the normal
charged state and is fully charged. The duration
is approx. 8 months. This is
a charging level that is usually not reached
through normal solar radiation. It only represents
the maximum reachable charged
state of the battery. However, damage to the
storage cell through overcharging is ruled out due to
the integrated overcharging protection.

Function of the temperature display
The thermometer of your watch is on the 3-clock-postition where some watches
have a crown. The apparent temperature device is through the openings in the
cap. The temperature is automatically refreshed every 2 minutes, without the
need of any further adjustment.
- For a manual update of the current temperature, press once the Button
START/STOP on the 2-clock position while the display shows the temperature
is displayed. The detected temperature is immediately displayed on the display.
- To switch the display between Celsius (° C) and Fahrenheit (° F)
press button SET on the 4-clock position.
The detected temperature of the thermometer is subject to a
number of factors and may differ from the actual ambient
temperature! For example, the heat from direct sunshine on the
watch case and the body temperature can lead to a different
measurement. The most accurate measurement results are
obtained when the watch is stored out of direct sunlight on a neutral
surface temperature for 15 to 30 minutes from the arm. At the
temperature display Tolerances of +/- 1 ° C can result.
