14.5 Usage Notes
14.5.1 Register Writing during Count
The following registers cannot be written to during a count (while bit 0 = 1 in RCR2).
RSECCNT, RMINCNT, RHRCNT, RDAYCNT, RWKCNT, RMONCNT, RYRCONT
The count must be stopped before writing to any of the above registers.
14.5.2 Use of Realtime Clock Periodic Interrupts
The method of using the periodic interrupt function is shown in figure 14.5.
A periodic interrupt can be generated periodically at the interval set by bits PES2 to PES0 in
RCR2. When the time set by bits PES2 to PES0 has elapsed, the PEF is set to 1.
The PEF is cleared to 0 upon periodic interrupt generation or when bits PES2 to PES0 are set.
Periodic interrupt generation can be confirmed by reading this bit, but normally the interrupt
function is used.

14.5.3 Transition to Standby Mode after Setting Register
When a transition to standby mode is made after registers in this module are set, sometimes
counting is not performed correctly. After making register settings, do not fail to perform a
dummy read of the registers to which settings were made before entering the standby state.
