Expose the watch to light
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light and stored
by a chargeable battery. Long-term storage of the watch can cause
the battery to run low, so be sure to expose the watch to light for
some time before using it for the first time. See “Solar Charging” for
more information.
Low Battery Alert
When secondary battery power is low, the second hand of the watch
will start to jump at 2-second intervals to let you know that charging
is required.
• See “Low Battery Alert” for more information.

Power Saving
Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically
and stop movement of the analog hands in order to save power
whenever it is left in the dark. The watch will exit the sleep state if
you expose it to light or perform any button operation.
• Note that the watch may also enter the sleep state and stop if it is
blocked from light by your sleeve.
How the sleep state works

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 second hand stops.
• The hour and minute hands, and the date indicator continue to
operate normally.
• Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally.
Sleep Level 2
Sleep Level 2 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark
while in Sleep Level 1 for six or seven days.
• The hour and minute hands, and the date indicator stop at their
current positions.
