below. The
v
Mode Disk rotates so the selected mode is indicated by the mode

Movement of the
v
Mode Disk may cause the watch hands to move slightly. This is
due to fi ne adjustment of hand positions and does not indicate malfunction.

Split Pointer
The split pointer is marked on the
v
Mode Disk. Whenever you enter the Stopwatch
Split Mode (page E-46), it indicates the current status of the stopwatch operation.
While a normal stopwatch elapsed time measurement operation is in progress, the
split pointer will point to RUN. When a split time is indicated by the hands (which are
temporarily stopped), the split pointer will point to SPL. Stopping the elapsed time
measurement operation will cause the split pointer to move to STP (stop).
Lap Pointer
The lap pointer is marked on the
v
Mode Disk. Whenever you press B to perform
lap time measurement in the Stopwatch Mode, the
v
Mode Disk will rotate so the
lap pointer points at the current lap number (1 through 5). If the current lap number is
greater than 5, the lap pointer will point at
.

Mode Pointer
The mode pointer is in a fi xed position. Whenever you enter a mode, the v
v
Mode
Disk will rotate until the current mode indicator (AL, TR, ST, TM, or WT) is aligned
with the mode pointer. The mode pointer is also used for indication of standard time
(STD) and summer time (DST).

Power Saving
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a
certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions
are affected by Power Saving.
There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation
temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse
of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the
watch is in the power recovery mode.
The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal
operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location
where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.
