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 and 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 sleep state causes the display to go blank, except for a flashing Power Saving indicator. Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state. Even when the watch is in the display sleep state, digital- analog time coordination and auto signal receive are both performed.

Function sleep state

To recover from the sleep state

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

It can take up to two seconds before display figures re-appear after you place the watch in a well-lit area.

To turn Power Saving on and off

Use the procedure under “To configure digital settings” to turn Power Saving on or off.

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

Alarms and the hourly time signal are also disabled while the watch is in the function sleep state. In the function sleep state, analog timekeeping is disabled, and auto signal receive is not performed.

Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally in the function sleep state.

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