Power Levels

 

Moves at two-second intervals.

E-10

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the movement of the x Second Hand in the Timekeeping Mode.

ξIf the x Second Hand is moving normally at one-second intervals, power is at Level 1.

ξIf the x Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals, power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

Level	Hand Movement	Function Status
1	Normal.	All functions enabled
2	x Second Hand moves at two-second	Beeper disabled
	intervals.
	m Day changes to 1 (home position).
3	x Second Hand stopped.	All functions disabled
	z Hour Hand and c Minute Hand
	stopped at 12 o’clock.

ξWhen power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings (including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings to their initial factory defaults.

E-11

Power Recovery Mode

The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the watch is in the power recovery mode.

The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.

E-12

Power Saving

Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

ξThere actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

Elapsed Time in Dark	Operation
60 to 70 minutes (second hand sleep)	x Second Hand only stopped at 12 o’clock, all
	other functions enabled
	ξ All functions, including analog timekeeping,
6 or 7 days (function sleep)	disabled

ξInternal timekeeping maintained

ξThe watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 a.m. and 9:59 p.m. If the watch is already in a sleep state when 6:00 a.m. arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

ξThe watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode.
