7-2 Characteristics of the Solar Powered Watch
When the watch is insufficiently charged, the indication will be changed as follows:
When a radio signal has
been successfully
received*2
[Normal indication]
The watch has been insufficiently
charged because the watch face,
which contains the solar cell, has not
received sufficient light.

The second hand will begin a
2-second interval movement.

Sufficiently charge by exposing the watch
face, which contains the solar cell to
light.*1
[Recovery automatic reception]
When the watch is recharged
sufficiently, it will receive the radio
signal automatically once.
* 1. When the watch stopped due to insufficient charging
• It takes at least 30 minutes to recharge sufficiently to perform recovery
automatic reception, even if the watch is being exposed to light.
After recovery, refer to “Guide to Charging Time” (p. 14) and sufficiently
charge the watch.
* 2. If the watch failed to perform recovery automatic reception
• The time is incorrect even if the second hand moves at 1-second intervals, so
after fully charging the watch, set the time manually or perform on demand
reception.
A. Power Saving Function
If the watch face is not exposed to light for 7 days in succession, when the time reaches
12:00 midnight, the hands will stop and the watch will go into power saving mode.
* Even in power saving mode the watch will continue to keep time internally.
All hands stop at the 12:00:00 position.
