Power saving causes the watch to automatically enter a sleep state to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark. The Power
Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory.

Note that the watch may also enter the sleep state if its face is blocked from light by your sleeve.

How the sleep state works

There are actually two sleep state levels, a “display sleep state”
and a “function sleep state”.

Display sleep state

The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in
the dark for about one hour between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6
a.m. The display sleep state causes the display to go blank.

Alarms and the Hourly Time Signal continue to operate
normally while the watch is in the display sleep state.
Even when the watch is in the display sleep state, analog time
timekeeping and auto signal receive are both performed.

The watch does not enter the display sleep state if it is in the
Timer Mode or Stopwatch Mode.

Function sleep state

The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in
the dark for six or seven days.

Alarms and the Hourly Time Signal are also disabled while the
watch is in the function sleep state.
Analog time timekeeping and auto signal receive are not
performed while the watch is in the function sleep state.

Timekeeping functions continue to operate normally in the
function sleep state.

To recover from the sleep mode

Place the watch in an area that is well-lit, press any button, or
angle the watch towards your face to illuminate the display using
the auto light.

It can take up to two seconds before the display re-appears after
you place the watch in a well-lit area.

To turn power saving on and off

See the procedure under “Manually Setting the Time and Date”.

Leaving the watch in a drawer or anywhere else it is dark can
cause the power saving mode to trigger in order to conserve
battery power.
