You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the battery power indicator on the display.
- If low battery power is indicated, expose the face of the watch to direct light to charge. At Level 5, the battery is dead, which causes watch functions to stop, all data in watch memory to be deleted, and all watch settings to return to their initial factory defaults.
- The flashing LOW indicator at Level 3 (L) tells you that battery power is very low, and that exposure to bright light for charging is required as soon as possible.
- Display indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Level 5 to Level 2 (M).
- Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunlight or some other very strong light source can cause the
- battery power indicator to show a reading temporarily that is higher than the actual battery level. The correct battery level should be indicated after a few minutes.
Power Recovery Mode
- Performing multiple sensor, illumination, or beeper operations during a short period may cause all of the battery power indicators (H, M, and L) to start flashing on the display. This indicates that the watch is in the power recovery mode. Illumination, alarm, countdown timer alarm, hourly time signal, and sensor operations will be disabled until battery power recovers.
- Battery power will recover in about 15 minutes. At this time, the battery power indicators (H, M, L) will stop flashing. This indicates that the functions listed above are enabled again.
- If all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) are flashing and the CHG (charge) indicator also is flashing, it means the battery level is very low. Expose the watch to bright light as soon as possible.
- Even if battery power is at Level 1 (H) or Level 2 (M), the Digital Compass Mode, Barometer/ Thermometer Mode, or Altimeter Mode sensor may be disabled if there is not enough voltage available to power it sufficiently. This is indicated when all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) are flashing.
- Frequent flashing of all of the battery power indicators (H, M, L) probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light to allow it to charge.
