Power Saving
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 about one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
•The watch enters the display sleep state, which causes the display to go blank. Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state.
•The watch does not enter the sleep state if it is in the Stopwatch Mode.
