Module No. 5702
Charging
This watch runs on power supplied from a rechargeable (secondary) battery that is charged by a solar panel. The solar panel is integrated into the face of the watch, and power is generated whenever the face is exposed to light.
Charging the Watch
When you are not wearing the watch, put it in a location where it is exposed to bright light.
While you are wearing the watch, make sure that its face (solar panel) is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing. Power generation efficiency is reduced even when the face of the watch is blocked only partially.
Important!
Some light sources and environments can cause the watch to become extremely hot during charging, which creates the risk of burn injury and damage to internal watch components.
Avoid charging the watch under conditions like the ones described below, where the temperatures may exceed 60 °C (140 °F).
On the dashboard of a vehicle parked in the sun
Near incandescent lamps, camera lights, halogen lamps, or other sources of heat
In locations exposed to direct sunlight for long periods and other hot locations
Remaining Charge and Dead Battery
You can determine if the charge level is low by checking the hand movement. Functions become disabled as battery power goes low.
Important!
Should the battery go low or go dead, expose the face (solar panel) to light as soon as possible.
Note
Exposing the watch face to light after the battery goes dead will cause the second hand to revolve counterclockwise until it stops at second 57. This indicates charging has started.
Low Battery Power
The second hand jumps at two-second intervals.
Dead Battery
All hands and the day indicator are stopped.

Power Saving
If the watch is not moved for about one hour, the connection with your phone will be terminated and the watch will enter Level 1 power saving.
Also, leaving the watch in a dark location for about one hour between the hours of 9 p.m. and 6 a.m. will cause the second hand to stop, and the watch will enter Level 2 power saving (second hand sleep). If the watch is left in this condition for six or seven days, all hands will stop and the watch will enter Level 3 power saving.
Level 1:
Except for communication with a phone, watch functions are operational.
Level 2:
Basic timekeeping functions are operational.
Level 3:
Only the day indicator is operational.
Note
Note that the watch also may enter the power saving state if its face is blocked from light by your sleeve while you are wearing it.
The watch will enter power saving when it is in one of the modes below.
Calendar Mode
Tide Graph Mode
Stopwatch Mode (reset to all zeros)
Timer Mode (timer start time displayed)
Recovering from Power Saving Operation
Use one of the operations below to exit power saving.
Press any button.
