indicates the current charge level.

C
Low Battery
●
Low Battery
A low battery will cause [LOW] to flash and will
disable the functions below.
●
Illumination
●
Sounds (alarm, etc.)
●
Connection with a phone
If the charge level drops even further, [CHG]
will flash and the hour and minute hands will
stop at 12 o’clock. If this happens, all functions
are disabled.
●
Dead Battery
The digital display will go blank if the battery
goes dead. Memory data is lost, and watch
settings are returned to their initial factory
defaults.
Important!
●
Should the battery go low or go dead,
expose the face (solar panel) to light as
soon as possible.
●
Exposing the watch to light while its
battery is dead will cause [CHG] to
start flashing. Expose the watch to light
to charge it until the Timekeeping
Mode screen re-appears.
Note
●
If [R] is flashing, it means that all
functions, except for timekeeping, are
disabled due to high momentary
battery power consumption.
