NOTES:
1. When the instant-start function is activated after the watch is exposed to light,
the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals immediately, but the energy
stored in the rechargeable battery is not sufficient. If the watch is turned away
from the light, it may stop operating.
2. It is not necessary to charge the watch fully. It is important, however, to charge
the watch sufficiently, especially in case of initial charge.
