ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
l
When the energy stored in the rechargeable battery is reduced to an extremely
low level, the second hand starts moving at 2-second intervals instead of the
normal 1-second intervals. The watch remains accurate even while the second
hand is moving at 2-second intervals.
l

While the second hand is moving at 2-second intervals, the stopwatch cannot
be activated.
l

If the second hand starts to move at 2-second intervals while the stopwatch
is operating, the stopwatch will be automatically stopped and the stopwatch
hands will return to the “0” position.
l When this occurs, recharge the watch as soon as possible by exposing it to light.
Otherwise, the watch may stop operating in a few days. (For recharging the
watch, see “HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH”)
