In These Cases - Citizen E101 Instruction Manual

G. IN THESE CASES
[If the watch warns that the energy is running short]
The second hand starts moving at two second intervals
in order to warn that the watch will stop functioning after
about 1 week. (Insufficient Charge Warning Function)
In such a case, expose your watch to light for a while to
cancel the warning. (The second hand returns to moving
at one second intervals when the energy is recharged.)
If the watch is left short of energy, it will stop functioning
after 4 days or so.

[If the watch warns you to set the time.]
When the watch that has stopped is exposed to light, the
second hand starts hitch movement. (Quick Start
Function)
The time elapsed before the second hand starts moving
depends on the illuminance of the light.
Even so, the second hand continues the hitch
movement to tell you that the watch indicates an
incorrect time because it had stopped.
In such a case, set the hands to the correct time.
Hitch movement
* If the watch is insufficiently exposed to light, the
second hand will soon switch to moving at two second
intervals in order to warn that the energy is running
short.
