A. Power Save Function
<Power Save>
When the solar cell is not exposed to light and power is not generated continuously for
one week, each hand stops at the 12:00 position and the watch enters the Power Save
mode (to reduce power consumption).
· The date stops at a location between the previous day and the current day. After that,
the date is automatically corrected at 12:00 AM once a day.
· Regular automatic reception is still performed twice a day in the same manner as that
during normal display.
· The watch enters the power
save mode if it is not exposed
to light even while the
insufficient charge warning
feature is activated (two-
second interval movement).

<Canceling Power Save>
The power save function is canceled when power generation is resumed by exposing
the solar cell to light.
· When the power save function is canceled, each hand rapidly returns to the current
time (by moving in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction) and the watch
begins one-second interval movement.
· Two-second interval movement begins if the watch is insufficiently charged. When
this happens, sufficiently charge the watch so that it returns to one-second interval
movement.
Notes:
· Although regular automatic reception is performed while the watch is in the Power
Save mode, radio waves may not be able to be received depending on the storage
environment. Check the reception result by pressing button (A) after the Power Save
function has been canceled. If the reception result is “No”, perform free reception
before using.
· The Power Save function cannot be canceled by operating the crown or buttons.
Cancel by exposing the watch to light.
