Troubleshooting
Possible causes
The energy depletion forewarning function is activated.

for instance, the watch is concealed under a long sleeve shirt.
The power save function 1 has been activated. (P. 33)
When the watch has not been exposed to sufficient light continuously, the
power save function 1 to limit energy consumption is automatically activated.
