Power Saving causes the watch to automatically enter a sleep state to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark.
•
Note that the watch may also enter the sleep state if the watch is blocked from light by your sleeve.
❚
How the sleep state works
•
Display sleep state
The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the
dark for about one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
•
The watch enters the display sleep state, which causes the
display to go blank. Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to
operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state.
•
The watch does not enter the sleep state if it is in the
Stopwatch Mode.

The module number is engraved on the back cover of the
watch case.
•
Function sleep state
The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left
in the dark for six or seven days.
•
The Power Saving indicator stops flashing and remains on the
display. Alarms and the hourly time signal are also disabled while the
watch is in the function sleep state. Time calibration signal reception
is not performed while the watch is in the function sleep state.
•
Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally
in the function sleep state.
❚
To recover from the sleep state
Place the watch in an area that is well-lit, press any button, or
angle the watch toward your face to illuminate the display of the
watch using the Auto Light.
•
It can take up to two seconds before display figures re-appear
after you place the watch in a well-lit area.
❚
To turn Power Saving on and off
Use the procedure under “Configuring Time and Date Settings
Manually” to turn Power Saving on or off.
•
Power Saving is designed to conserve power when you do
not use the watch for a long time.
•
To conserve power, the World Time that you can display on
the Timekeeping Mode stops while the watch is in a sleep
state. When the watch recovers from a sleep state, the
Timekeeping Mode World Time restarts from the time that it
stopped when the sleep state was entered. To correct the
World Time, change to the World Time mode and then
return to the Timekeeping Mode. Note that the Timekeeping
Mode World Time will not stop if Power Saving is turned off.
