![Watch Power Saving FunctionsThis product is equipped with power saving functions to limit battery power consumption.There are two types of power saving functions, with each used when certain conditions are met.Note that while the hour and minute hands will stop moving, this does not indicate damage to the product. ■Power Saving 1The watch will go into “Power Saving 1” mode when kept away from light for at least 72 hours. In this mode the short seconds hand will stop at the 15 seconds mark. All other displays besides the short seconds hand will also stop.The clock will start again showing the current time after exposing the watch to light for at least fi ve seconds, or by pressing a button. ■Power Saving 2The watch will go into “Power Saving 2” mode when in a poor state of charge. In this mode the short seconds hand will stop at the 45 seconds mark.Provide a suffi cient charge to the watch and then readjust the time as necessary.Remaining Battery Power for the Accessory[Battery] will start fl ashing when the accessory is low on battery charge. We recommend replacing the battery as soon as possible. (User’s Guide)](https://usermanual.wiki/Seiko-Epson/AP012.05-Short-Term-Confidential-User-Manual-1/User-Guide-3475482-Page-22.png)

![5 sec.Matching Time Zones and Time SettingsReceive GPS data to acquire positional information on your current location. You can use the positional information acquired to identify the time zone and set the time and date for your location.ImportantNote that your watch may be set to a neighboring time zone if you use this function near the boundary between time zones. Avoid being near the boundary between time zones when setting the time zone if possible. Check the time displayed on your watch to see if the correct time zone has been set.Set the time zone and time manually if the time zone has been set incorrectly.

![Using the Watch as a Measuring DeviceMeasuring Altitude/Barometric PressureThe air pressure sensor installed inside the device enables altitude and air pressure readings.Altitude readings are taken when in [ALT] mode, and barometric pressure readings are taken when in [BAR] mode.ImportantThis product uses an air pressure sensor to calculate altitude readings. Note that changes in air pressure will result in different altitude readings even when standing in the same location. This may result in discrepancies in altitude readings from the actual elevation height. Make sure to calibrate altitude readings (set the standard altitude) before use.Measurement1 Keep pressing the “A” button to set the mode to [ALT] or [BAR]ReferenceThis product automatically measures the altitude and barometric pressure in intervals of around 10. Switching between [ALT] and [BAR] modes will display the last measured value. Proceed to step 2 to measure values for your current location in real time.](https://usermanual.wiki/Seiko-Epson/AP012.05-Short-Term-Confidential-User-Manual-1/User-Guide-3475482-Page-30.png)
