User Guide for Solar-powered Chronograph Watch Movement Epson/Seiko VR42
1) Setting the date and the time
To start making the settings, first, carefully, pull the crown out into position 1.
Now, rotate the crown anticlockwise to set the date to the previous day and, again, pull the crown out carefully into position 2.
By rotating the crown and, thus, the watch hands forward you can set the desired time. When making this setting, make sure
that the date has jumped to the current day and that the setting for 24-hour display is correct. The corresponding button is at
the top right on the watch dial. The hands of the normal time display must be advanced by 12 hours, if necessary, so that the
watch display follows a 24-hour lapse correctly. Once you are finished with the time setting, press in the crown carefully back to
its 0 position.
2) Using the stop watch function
The watch has a stopwatch function with seconds and minutes timing.
To start the stopwatch action, press the button A. To stop the timing, press the button A once again. To reset the hands into
the starting position, press the button B.
3) Meantime measurement
Start the stopwatch action as described above by pressing the button A.
As the timing is going on, press the button B to interrupt the running hands. Now, you can read the calculated meantime. To
return to the ongoing timing, once again press the button B. To exit the timing function and to let the watch hand back into the
initial position, first, stop the timing function by pressing the button A and press the button B. The watch hands will now return
to their initial position.
4) Adjust the starting position of the stop watch hand manually
To change the initial position of the stopwatch hands manually or, if they do not return to their initial position (12) after exiting
the stopwatch action, pull the crown out carefully up to its stopping point. By pressing the button A, you can set the hands to
the left and, by pressing the button B to the right. Finally, press the crown carefully back to its 0 position.

Make sure that the cell of your watch is always sufficiently charged through exposure to light. For the watch to
function normally, it requires at least 2 hours of sunlight or 2 days of daylight at regular intervals. When you are not
wearing the watch but planning to store away the watch, select a place where the watch dial is exposed to sufficient
light. When charged fully, the watch will continue to run for up to 3 months.
