MA0310-EA

The Power Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory.

Power Saving causes the watch to automatically enter a sleep state to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark.

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

How the sleep state works

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 goes blank, except for a sleep indicator flashing on
it.

Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally
while the watch is in the display sleep state.

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

Sleep indicator

Function sleep state

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

The sleep mark stops flashing and remains on the display.
Alarms, the hourly time signal, and auto signal reception are
also disabled while the watch is in the function sleep state.

Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally in
the function sleep state.

To recover from the sleep state

Place the watch in an area that is well-lit, press any button, or
angle the watch toward 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 or off

Use the procedure under “Setting the Time and Date Manually” to
turn Power Saving on or off.

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