[Overcharging Prevention Function]
The overcharging prevention function is activated when the secondary battery is
fully charged so that it is not charged further. This allows the user to charge the
watch without any risk of overcharging.
[Power Save 1]
When power is not generated as a result of the solar cell not being exposed to
light, the second hand stops when it reaches the 12 o’clock position and the
watch automatically enters the power save state to inhibit power consumption of
the secondary battery.
Analog Display
· The second hand stops at the standard position (12:00).
· Other hands continue to keep the correct time.
Digital Display
· In conjunction with the analog second hand stopping at the 12 o’clock
position, the entire digital display goes out. However, the race timer, alarm,
chronograph and other functions continue to measure time internally even
though there is no display.
<Canceling Power Save 1 >
Power Save 1 is canceled when power generation resumes as a result of
exposing the solar cell to light.
· The second hand rapidly advances to the current time and begins one-
second interval movement.
· The digital display reappears simultaneous to resumption of power
generation.
Note:
· During the time the secondary battery is fully charged and the overcharging
prevention function is activated, the power save function is not activated even
if power generation is interrupted as a result of the solar cell not being
exposed to light. In addition, the power save function is similarly not activated
when the solar cell is exposed to intense light and temporarily becomes fully
charged.
[Power Save 2]
When the watch reaches the first 12:00 AM position (when the 24 hour hand,
hour hand and minute hand all reach the standard position) after the Power
Save 1 state has continued for 3 days, it enters the Power Save 2 state.
