POWER SAVE FUNCTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the watch is not exposed to an adequate light source, the power save function is

 

 

automatically activated in order to reduce unnecessary energy consumption.

 

When this state continues for 72 hours or longer, the watch enters "the Power Save One” mode.

 

If the watch continues to be insufficiently charged, and the stored power falls below a certain level,

 

the watch automatically switches to "the Power Save Two” mode.

 

[POWER SAVE 1]

 

•When this state continues for 72 hours or longer, the watch enters

 

"the Power Save One” mode.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

•When the watch is in "the Power Save One” mode, the second

 

hand rotates to point to the 15-second position and stops.

 

•In this state, movement of the hour and minute hands and

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

calendar operation will cease, but the watch will continue to

 

conduct automatic reception.

 

•To reset the watch to display the current time, expose it to

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

adequate light for five seconds or longer.

 

*When the watch returns to its normal movement, the watch hands rotate rapidly to display the current time. After

 

the watch hands are set to the current time, the correct date is displayed.

[POWER SAVE 2]

•If the watch continues to be insufficiently charged, and the stored power falls below a certain level, the watch automatically switches to "the Power Save Two” mode, to limit further energy consumption. When the watch is in "the Power Save Two” mode, the second hand rotates to point to the 45-second position and stops.

•In this state, movement of the hour and minute hands and calendar operation will cease and the watch will also stop conducting automatic reception.

•When the watch enters "the Power Save Two” mode, immediately charge the watch.

*While the watch is being charged, the second hand moves at five-second intervals. During the five-second interval movement, neither the buttons nor the crown can be operated (this is not a malfunction).

*If “the Power Save Two” mode is prolonged, the amount of stored power drops and the internal time settings will be lost. In such a case, after completing battery charging, conduct the manual reception to set the watch to the correct

time. After completing the radio signal reception, when the date is incorrect even if the correct time is displayed, check that the calendar is set to the

preliminary position (refer to “RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION” on page 20 and “●PRELIMINARY POSITION CHECKING AND SETTING FOR THE CALENDAR” on pages 58-59).
