Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar cell 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.

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.

Important!
•
Allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The
appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
•
Turn on the watch’s Power Saving function (page E-14) 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.
•
Storing 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 check the current battery power level by viewing the battery power indicator that appears on the
digital display when you enter the Timekeeping Mode.

•
The fl ashing L indicator at Level 3 tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright
light for charging is required as soon as possible.
•
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, reconfi gure the current time, date, and other settings.
•
Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2 ( M).
•
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.

•
All data stored in memory is deleted, and 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.
Charging Required Indication (by second hand)
When battery power reaches Level 3, the second hand of the watch will
jump at 2-second intervals in the Timekeeping Mode to let you know that
charging is required.

Power Recovery Mode
•
Repeated sensor measurement, illumination, or use of tones over a short period of time may cause the
watch to enter a power recovery mode, which is indicated by a recovery indicator ( R) to fl ash on the
digital display. The watch will remain in the power recovery mode until battery power recovers.

Illumination, tones, and sensor operations are disabled and the hands of the watch stop until battery
power recovers.
•
Battery power takes about 15 minutes to recover. The recovery indicator ( R) will stop fl ashing and
normal watch operation will be restored when battery recovery is complete.
•
Frequent fl ashing of the recovery indicator ( R) indicates that battery power is low. Expose the watch to

Power Saving
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.

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. However, when
using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals, you will have to adjust the settings
manually as required. See “Confi guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually” (page E-31) for more
information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code selected as the Home
City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one that supports time calibration signal
reception.

Important!
•
The areas covered by HONOLULU ( HNL) and ANCHORAGE ( ANC) are quite far from the calibration
signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.
•
When HONG KONG ( HKG) is selected as the Home City, only the time and date are adjusted
according to the time calibration signal. You need to switch manually between standard time and
daylight saving time (DST) if required. See “To confi gure Home City settings” (page E-28) for
information about how to do this.
