[. . . ] The operable time of the time relay function varies depending on the electrical energy stored inside the watch. In a case that the fully charged watch enters the power save mode, the time relay function of the watch remains operable for approximately four years. When the power save function is activated, the hour, minute, second and 24hour hands will stop moving. While the watch is in power save mode, the calendar continues to function normally. When the watch is left untouched in power save mode and if the date does not change correctly, the stored electrical energy is being depleted. Recharge the watch until the watch resumes the usual one-second interval movement, and then reset the time and calendar before starting to wear it again. When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 19. ) If the stored electrical energy is completely depleted while the watch is in power save mode, swinging the watch will not activate the time relay function. Instead, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to "HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE" on page 11 or "IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 19. ) 8 9 SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN English Some models have the screw lock type crown, which can be locked by the screw when it is not necessary to be operated. Locking the crown will prevent operating errors. Unscrew the crown before any crown operation. When the operation is over, screw the crown in to lock. HOW TO WAKE UP THE WATCH FROM POWER SAVE MODE In order to "wake up" the watch from power save mode, swing the watch gently from side to side to recharge it. English Do not pull out the crown to the second click position before performing the following procedures. This will cancel the time relay function. HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN If your watch has a screw lock type crown, unscrew it before any crown operation. Always keep the crown locked unless it is necessary for operating the crown. Swing the watch from side to side approximately 4 to 6 times rhythmically at a rate of twice a second, making an arc of about 20 cm as shown in the illustration below. [To unscrew the crown] Turn the crown counterclockwise (downward) to unscrew it. The crown is unlocked and can be operated. The crown can be pulled out. No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch with greater vigor. When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction. [To screw the crown in] Upon completion of the crown operation, screw the crown in completely until it stops by turning it clockwise (upward) while gently pressing it back into the original position. Turn the crown while pressing it back in. 1. Only the hour, minute and 24hour hands move quickly to indicate the current time which has been internally retained in the built-in IC. 2. Then the second hand will follow quickly to resume the normal movement. The second hand remains still. 10 11 Notes HOW TO SET THE TIME English English If there is any time difference between the factory default time settings and the local time in your area, reset the time and calendar before initially using the watch after purchase. While the watch is in power save mode, the built-in IC computes the time internally at an accuracy of 15 seconds per month which is equivalent to the accuracy of conventional quartz watches. Therefore, the time relayed from the built-in IC to the hands by the automatic time relay function may include a certain amount of time loss or gain within the range of the accuracy of the watch ( 15 seconds per month. ) In such a case, reset the time as needed before starting to wear the watch. When the watch wakes up from power save mode while it is running on extremely low electrical power, the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals. (Refer to " IF THE SECOND HAND STARTS MOVING AT TWO-SECOND INTERVALS" on page 19.
