Power Saving

The Power Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory.

Power Saving causes the watch to automatically enter a sleep state to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark.

Note that the watch may also enter the sleep state if the watch is blocked from light by your sleeve.

How the sleep state works

Display sleep state

The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for three or four days.

The display goes blank, except for a sleep indicator. Alarms, the hourly time signal, and auto signal reception continue to operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state.

Function sleep state

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a brightly lit location or press any button.

It may take as long as five seconds to recover from the sleep state

To turn Power Saving on and off

See the procedure under “To manually set the time and date” for information about turning off Power Saving.

Leaving the watch in a drawer or anywhere else it is dark can cause Power Saving to trigger in order to conserve battery power.

The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for four days.

Important!

The light may be difficult to see if you turn it on under bright sunlight.

The light is shut off automatically if the alarm starts to sound while it is on.

You may notice a slight sound from the watch while the display is illuminated. This is the sound of EL panel vibration, and does not indicate malfunction.
