Cal.D710 Setting Instruction : System monitor Mode

Mode Change Flow

Using the Standard Mode : Using the System Monitor Mode

This mode provides a general indication of the amount of charge remaining in the watch along with the usage status of flash memory.

A. Switching the Display

.		The display switches back and forth each time the upper right button (B) is pressed once in the system monitor mode.
.		The watch's identification number is displayed when the upper left button (C) is pressed and then released during the flash memory status display.

*	The watch automatically returns to the time mode when none of the buttons are pressed for about 3 minutes in the system monitor mode.
*	The watch identification number displayed here is required during user registration.

B. Charge Level Indicator

The charge level indicator provides a general reference for determining the amount of charge remaining in the watch. In addition, it also indicates whether or not each function can be operated ("OK" or "NG") at the current charge level. In case of insufficient power it will display "NG", however if the watch has sufficient power for a function, it will display "OK", and that function can be operated. The "CHRG" indicates that a function can be operated, but additional charging is recommended.

Please refer to [Charge Level Indicator and Continuous Usage Time] for information on a general indicator of the amount of charge. .

G.C.: Garbage Collection

This indicates whether or not the garbage collection operation can be performed.

* This watch uses flash memory to store the various settings and diving data of the watch edited with a personal computer. Whenever new data is recorded in flash memory, areas of memory that are no longer used as well as areas of memory in the gaps between data are generated in the flash memory. Garbage collection refers to an operation that creates continuous areas of available memory so that these areas can be reused automatically.

: Diving Function

This indicates whether or not the watch can be used for diving. .

*	The display means that the watch is insufficiently charged for use during diving. Although the dive mode continues to operate even in this state, if diving is performed while in this state, the watch may become insufficiently charged during diving. Sufficient charge the watch prior to diving to ensure safety.
*	When "NG" is displayed, the watch will not switch to the dive mode. The watch can therefore not be used for diving in this state.

Ir: Infrared Communication Function

This indicates whether or not the infrared communication function can be used for data transfer with a personal computer or between watches.

C. Flash Memory Status Display

This display provides a general indication of the amount of flash memory available. In addition, garbage collection can also be performed during this display by pressing one of the buttons.
<Reading the Bar Graph>
a.	Black segment: Area in which data has been written and then deleted. /The area corresponding to this segment is transformed into available memory by performing garbage collection.
b.	Gray segment: Area currently used by files. /This segment becomes larger the greater the amount of diving data, daily graphic data and so forth.
c.	White segment: Area of available memory.

D. Garbage Collection Operating Procedure

Garbage collection begins when the upper left button (C) is pressed for at least 2 seconds and then released during the flash memory status display.
*	During the garbage collection operation, an alarm sounds and "G.C." is displayed on the display. When garbage collection is completed, "Done" is displayed on the display.
*	Garbage collection cannot be performed when "G.C." has changed to "NG" on the charge level indicator. "Fail" is displayed on the display at this time.

<General Reference for Performing Garbage Collection>
	Try to perform garbage collection when the black segment on the flash memory status display is larger than the white segment (available memory). Garbage collection consumes considerable power. For this reason as well, in order to ensure that flash memory is used efficiently, it is recommended to perform garbage collection whenever the watch is charged (fully charged).

If "Error" appears on the display or "G.C." remains displayed during garbage collection, there may be a problem in the flash memory. In this case, after formatting flash memory while referring to "Formatting Flash Memory", try repeating the garbage collection procedure. If "Error" is still displayed, the watch may have a malfunction. Please request that the watch be repaired at the Citizen Service Center.

Garbage collection is only performed to organize the contents of flash memory. There is no risk of deleting watch settings or diving logs as a result of performing garbage collection.
