Remaining Charge and Dead Battery
You can determine if the charge level is low by
checking the hand movement. Functions
become disabled as battery power goes low.
Important!
●
Should the battery go low or go dead,
expose the face (solar panel) to light as
soon as possible.
Note
●
Exposing the watch face to light after
the battery goes dead will cause the
second hand to revolve
counterclockwise until it stops at
second 57. This indicates charging
has started.
Low Battery Power
The second hand jumps at two-second
intervals.

Power Saving
Leaving the watch in a dark location for about
one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and
5:50 a.m. will cause the second hand to stop,
and the watch to enter Level 1 power saving.
If the watch is left in this condition for six or
seven days, all hands will stop and the watch
will enter Level 2 power saving.
Level 1 :
Basic timekeeping functions are operational.
Level 2 :
Only the day indicator is operational.
Note
●
Note that the watch also may enter the
power saving state if its face is blocked
from light by your sleeve while you are
wearing it.
