English POWER SAVE FUNCTION q If the watch is left untouched for approximately 3 days (72 hours), the hands will stop moving to minimize the electrical energy consumed. q Though the hands stop while the power save function is in operation, the built-in IC continues to compute the correct time. q More specifically, the watch measures the time during which the generating system remains inactive and no charging is done. The power save function is activated when such time period extends to approximately 72 hours without a break. If the watch senses movement of the oscillating weight before the completion of 72 hours, the measurement of the inactive time is stopped and reset to "0". q If the watch is kept in a situation where movement repeatedly causes the hands to keep moving and the power save function is prevented from being activated without additional charge, the energy will be consumed in approximately 6 months after the watch is fully charged. 5
