Power Saving

When turned on, Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the

watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows

how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

For information about enabling and disabling power saving, see “To turn Power x

Saving on and off” (page E-83).

There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”. x

Power Recovery Mode

Performing multiple illumination, beeper, and/or high-speed hand movement x

operation during a short period may cause all of the battery power indicators (H,

M, and L) to start fl

ashing in the lower digital dial. This indicates that the watch is in

the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, and hourly

time signal operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.

Battery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power x

indicators (H, M, L) will stop fl

ashing. This indicates that the functions listed above

are enabled again.

If all of the battery power indicators ( x H, M, L) are fl

ashing and the CHG (charge)

message also is fl ashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch

to bright light as soon as possible.

Frequent fl ashing of all of the battery power indicators ( x H, M, L) probably means

that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to

charge.

E-16

At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory x

defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 5, reconfi

gure

the current time, date, and other settings.

Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to x

Level 2 (M).

Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light

x

source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that

is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated

after a few minutes.

The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults x

whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.

E-14

Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in x

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.

Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

indicator in the lower digital dial.

Warning!

Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite

hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can

become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long

periods.

On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight x

Too close to an incandescent lamp x

Under direct sunlight x

Important!

Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digital displays to black out.

x

The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns

to a lower temperature.

Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-19) and keep it in an area

x

normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to

ensure that power does not run down.

E-12

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The

generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch

operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Whenever you are not

wearing the watch, leave

it in a location where it is

exposed to light.

Best charging x

performance is achieved

by exposing the watch

to the strongest light

available.

When wearing the watch,

make sure that its face is

not blocked from light by

the sleeve of your clothing.

The watch may enter a x

sleep state (page E-19) if

its face is blocked by your

sleeve even only partially.
