<Insufficient Charging Warning Function>
The second hand moves at two-second intervals
to indicate that the watch is insufficiently
charged. The watch stops after about 2 days
have elapsed. Expose the watch to light to return
the second hand to one-second interval move-
ment.
<Time Setting Warning Function>
When the watch is again exposed to light after
stopping, although the second hand begins to
move, since the time is incorrect, the second
hand moves irregularly at two-second intervals
to indicate that the time is incorrect. Reset the
time after the watch has been sufficiently
charged. The second hand will continue to move
irregularly at two-second intervals unless the
time is reset.
<Overcharging Prevention Function>
The overcharging prevention function is activated when the secondary battery is fully charged so
that it is not charged further.
<Power Save 1>
When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining on the solar cell, the second
hand stops and the watch enters the Power Save 1 state to reduce power consumption of the
secondary battery. The minute and hour hands continue to keep time even though the second
hand is stopped. Furthermore, operation of the calendar is linked with the movement of the hour
and minute hands.
<Power Save 2>
When the Power Save 1 state continues for about 3 days, the watch automatically switches to the
Power Save 2 state and movement of the hour and minute hands as well as calendar operation
stop to further reduce power consumption of the secondary battery more than Power Save 1.
Note:
The power save function is not activated even when power is not generated as a result of light not
shining on the solar cell during the time the secondary battery is fully charged and the over-
charging prevention function is activated.
<Canceling Power Save>
The power save function is canceled when the solar cell is exposed to light and power genera-
tion is resumed. Each of the hands advance rapidly to the current time and begin moving. The
date is also advanced continuously to the current date.
