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.
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.
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.
Time Setting Warning Function
Power Save 1
When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining on the
solar cell continuously the second hand stops and the watch enters Power Save
1 to reduce power consumption of the rechargeable battery. The minute and hour
hands continue to keep time even though the second hand is stopped.
Furthermore, operation of the calendar is linked with the movement of the hour
and minute hands
<Power Save 2>
When the Power Save 1 state continues for about 3 days, the watch
automatically switches to the Power Save 2 state and movement of the hour and
minute hands as well as the calendar operation stop to further reduce power
consumption of the rechargeable battery.
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.
Canceling Power Save
The power save function is canceled when the solar cell is exposed to light and
power generation is resumed. The of the hands advance rapidly to the current
time and begin moving.
