English POWER SAVE FUNCTION This watch is equipped with a power save function (Power Saving) which can suppress energy consumption when it is left without receiving an adequate light source for a certain length of time. * There are two types of power save mode. Condition Power Save 1 When the watch is exposed to a state without receiving an adequate light source for 72 hours or longer. Power Save 2 When the watch is in an insufficient charging state for a long time. Situation The second hand stops pointing at the 15-second position, and the hour and minute hands also stop. The watch conducts automatic radio signal receiving. The second hand stops pointing at the 45-second position, and the hour and minute hands also stop. The watch does not conduct automatic radio signal receiving. How to handle the situation When the watch is exposed to an adequate light source for five seconds or longer, it displays the current time again after the second hand is rapidly advanced. After sufficiently charging the battery, set the watch for the current time, if necessary. * If the "Power Save 2" mode is prolonged, the stored power amount drops and the internal current time information stored will be lost. When the watch returns to its normal movement of one-second interval after sufficiently charging the battery, set the current time by 38 receiving a radio signal. JOEE


 NOTE ON POWER SUPPLY ● The battery used in this watch is a rechargeable battery, which is different from ordinary silver oxide batteries. Unlike other disposable batteries such as dry-cell batteries or button cells, this rechargeable battery can be used over and over again by repeating the cycles of discharging and recharging. ● The capacity or recharging efficiency of the rechargeable battery may gradually deteriorate for various reasons such as long-term use or usage conditions. Worn or contaminated mechanical parts or degraded oils may also shorten recharging cycles. If the efficiency of the rechargeable battery decreases, it will be necessary to have the watch repaired. ● When the secondary battery is fully charged, the overcharge prevention function is automatically activated to avoid further charging. CAUTION ● Do not remove the rechargeable battery yourself. Replacement of the rechargeable battery requires professional knowledge and skill. Please ask a watch retailer for replacement of the rechargeable battery. ● Installation of an ordinary silver oxide battery can generate heat that can cause bursting and ignition. 39 English
