■ TIME RELAY FUNCTION
●When the watch is in power save mode, the hands stop moving but the built-in IC
continues to calculate the time. When a certain amount of electrical power is
generated, the watch hands are adjusted automatically to the time retained inside
the watch.
●The operable time of the time relay function varies depending on the electrical
energy stored inside the watch. In a case that the fully charged watch enters the
power save mode, the time relay function of the watch remains operable for
approximately four years.
✽
If the stored electrical energy is completely depleted while the watch is in power save mode,
swinging the watch will not activate the time relay function. Instead, the second hand starts
moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to “HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER
SAVE MODE” on page 11 or “IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND
INTERVALS” on page 19. )
<Remarks on Power Save Function>
●When the watch is left untouched for approximately 24 hours (approximately
one day), the power save function is automatically activated.
✽
While the second hand is moving at two-second intervals, the power save function
cannot be activated.
●When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24-
hour hands will stop moving.
✽
While the watch is in power save mode, the calendar continues to function normally.
✽
When the watch is left untouched in power save mode and if the date does not change
correctly, the stored electrical energy is being depleted. Recharge the watch until the
watch resumes the usual one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and
calendar before starting to wear it again.
✽
When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low
electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to “IF
THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS” on page 19.)
✽
Do not pull the crown out to the second click position while the watch is in power save mode.
This will cancel the power save function causing the time data retained in the watch to be
erased.
✽
Do not leave the watch with its crown being at the second click position, as the watch
consumes greater energy than it uses while it is in power save mode.
