Operation Guide 4323 (GMS)
Before using the watch...
Power Supply (Charging)
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is stored by a chargeable battery.
To ensure stable operation, make sure that the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.
Expose the watch to light.
• Whenever you are not wearing the watch on your
wrist, position it so the face (solar cell) is pointed
in the direction of a source of bright light.
• When wearing the watch, try to keep your
sleeve from blocking its face, where the solar
cell is located.
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is stored by a chargeable battery. Long-
term storage of the watch can cause power to run low, so be sure to expose the watch to light for some
time before using it for the first time. For information about charging time, see “Power Supply.”

Power Saving
Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically and stop movement of the analog
hands in order to save power whenever the watch is left in the dark.
The watch will exit the sleep state if you expose it to light or perform any button operation.
• Note that the watch also may enter the sleep state and stop if its face is blocked from light by your
sleeve.
How the sleep state works
Sleep Level 1
Sleep Level 1 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for about one hour any time between the
hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
• The second hand will stop at 12 o’clock.
• The hour and minute hands continue to operate normally.
Leave the watch under fluorescent lighting, near a
window, etc.
Charging efficiency is reduced significantly
even if the face of the watch is covered only
partially by your sleeve.
How the solar cell and battery work
While the watch is exposed to light...
Sleep Level 2
While the watch is not exposed to light...
Sleep Level 2 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark while in Sleep Level 1 for six or seven
days.
