Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
Charging Guide

available. |
|
|
E-11 |
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
x On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight x Too close to an incandescent lamp
x Under direct sunlight
Important!
x Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause the digital displays to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
xTurn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-19) and keep it in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
xStoring the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Expose the watch to bright light whenever possible.

Power Levels
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator in the lower digital dial.

|
|
|
x The flashing LOW message at Level 3 (L) tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.
E-14 |
E-15 |
|
|
x At Level 5, all functions are disabled and settings return to their initial factory defaults. Once the battery reaches Level 2 (M) after falling to Level 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings.
x Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2 (M).
x Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.
x The current time and all other settings return to their initial factory defaults whenever battery power drops to Level 5 and when you have the battery replaced.
Power Recovery Mode
xPerforming multiple illumination, beeper, and/or high-speed hand movement operation during a short period may cause all of the battery power indicators (H, M, and L) to start flashing in the lower digital dial. This indicates that the watch is in the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, and hourly time signal operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.
xBattery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power indicators (H, M, L) will stop flashing. This indicates that the functions listed above are enabled again.
xIf all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) are flashing and the CHG (charge) message also is flashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch to bright light as soon as possible.
xFrequent flashing of all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.

Power Saving
When turned on, Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.
x For information about enabling and disabling power saving, see “To turn Power Saving on and off” (page E-65).
x There actually are two sleep state levels: “display sleep” and “function sleep”.

5.After the setting is the way you want, press A to return to the Timekeeping
Mode.
x The DST indicator appears to indicate that Daylight Saving Time is turned on. x Exiting a setting mode will normally cause the hands to return to regular
timekeeping automatically. However, if you manually move the hands (page E-61) and then enter a setting mode, they will not return to regular timekeeping automatically when you exit the setting mode. In this case, you will need to return the hands to their normal positions manually (page E-62).
Note
x After you specify a city code, the watch will use UTC* offsets in the World Time Mode to calculate the current time for other time zones based on the current time in your Home City.
*Coordinated Universal Time, the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.
To change the Daylight Saving Time (summer time) setting

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about two seconds until ADJ appears in the right digital dial. When you release A, the city code and city name will scroll across the right digital dial. This is the setting mode.
x Whenever you enter a setting mode, the analog hands will automatically move to positions that allow easier viewing of the digital dials. This is the setting mode.
2.Press C to enter the DST setting mode.
3.Press D to toggle the DST setting between Daylight Saving Time (ON) and Standard Time (OFF).
