<Overcharging Prevention Function>
The overcharging prevention function is activated when the secondary battery is
fully charged so that it is not charged further.
<Power Save 1>
When power is no longer generated as a result of light not shining on the solar cell,
the second hand stops and the watch enters the Power Save 1 state to reduce power
consumption of the secondary battery. The minute and hour hands continue to
keep time even through the second hand is stopped. Furthermore, operation of the
calendar is linked with the movement of the hour and minute hands.
<Power Save 2>
When the Power Save 1 state continues for about 3 days, the watch automatically
switches to the Power Save 2 state and movement of the hour and minute hands as
well as calendar operation stop to further reduce power consumption of the sec-
ondary battery more than Power Save 1.
Note: The power save function is not activated even when power is not generated
as a result of light not shining on the solar cell during the time the second-
ary battery is fully charged and the overcharging prevention function is
activated.
