Auto Power Save

The watch automatically turns off its display screen if it is not moved for about 60 minutes.

If a daily alarm time or the end of a countdown timer countdown is reached while the display is blank, the display is turned on and the applicable screen image appears while the alarm is sounding. After that, the display goes blank again. Pressing F while an alarm is sounding stops the alarm, displays the wake up screen image, and then enters the Timekeeping Mode. Pressing any other button to stop the alarm causes the display to go blank.
