Insufficient Charging Warning Function
The second hand moves at two-second
intervals to indicate that the watch is
insufficiently charged. Although the watch
will continue to operate normally at this
time as well, it will stop after about 2
days have elapsed since the start of two-
second-interval movement. Expose the watch
to light to return the second hand to one-
second interval movement. When the second
hand is moving at two-second intervals,
time, date and time difference cannot be
corrected.
Once the insufficient charging warning
function (two-second interval movement)
operates, it takes at least 30 minutes for
the second hand to return to one-second-
interval movement even if the watch is
exposed to light sufficiently.
Power Save Function
When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining on the
solar cell continuously for 2 hours, the second hand stops at the 12:00
position and the watch enters the Power Save State to reduce power consumption
of the Eco Drive Rechargeable battery. The minute hand stops simultaneous to
stopping of the second hand. The hour hand continues to keep time by moving at
one- hour intervals, and the date changes with the movement of the hour hand.
The power save function does not operate when the crown is pulled out.
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 Eco Drive Rechargeable battery is fully charged and the
overcharging prevention function is activated.
Overcharging Prevention Function
The overcharging prevention function is activated when the Eco Drive
Rechargeable battery is fully charged so that it is not charged further.
Canceling Power Save
The power save function is canceled when the solar cell is exposed to light and
power generation is resumed. The minute and second hands advance rapidly to the
current time and begin moving.
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.
Once the watch stops for insufficient
charging, it takes at least 30 minutes for
the watch to indicate the time setting
warning even if the watch is exposed to
light sufficiently
