Notes:
• During the time the secondary battery is fully charged and the overcharging
prevention feature is operating, the power save feature does not operate even when
power generation is interrupted as a result of not exposing the solar cell to light.
Similarly, the power save feature will also not operate when the secondary battery
temporarily becomes fully charged as a result of exposure to intense light.
• When the power save feature has been activated when the crown is at Position 1
(calendar correction position), the date can be corrected by turning the crown.
• If the alarm is set (ON), the alarm will sound when the set alarm time is reached.
• The time until the power save feature is activated varies according to the model.
Canceling Power Save Feature
1. When power generation begins as a result of light shining on the solar cell, the
power save feature is canceled and the second hand begins 1-second interval
movement.
2. Power save is also canceled when the position of the crown has been changed
(from the normal position to Position 1 or Position 2) or the mode has been
switched (chronograph or alarm mode) by turning the crown while in the normal
position.

<Overcharging Prevention Feature>
The overcharging prevention feature is activated when the secondary battery is
fully charged so that it is not charged further.
<Power Save Feature>
When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining continuously
for 30 minutes or more on the solar cell during the
time/calendar (TME mode) with the crown in the
normal position or Position 1, the second hand
stops when it has reached the 12:00 position and
the power save feature is activated to reduce
current consumption. The 24 hour hand, hour
hand and minute hand continue to keep the
correct time even though the second hand has
stopped. Furthermore, the calendar is corrected in
coordination with the 24 hour hand and hour
hand.
