Operation Guide 3017
•The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by a time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
•This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and
•Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time data only.
•Normally, the signal reception date shown by the Last Signal screen is the date data included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received, however, the Last Signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at the time of signal reception.
•If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.
•If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these settings.
Setting | Initial Factory Default |

This watch is designed to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany and the signal from Rugby, England. You can configure the watch to automatically select the transmitter that has the strongest signal.
In this case: | The watch does this: |

| 2. If the last successfully received signal |
| cannot be received, checks the other |
| signal. |

Timekeeping
•Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.
•The day of the week is displayed automatically in accordance with the date (year, month, and day) settings.
•The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
•The watch’s
•The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World Time Mode are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC differential.
•The UTC differential is a value that indicates the time difference between a reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is located.
•The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”, which is the

Illumination Precautions
•The
•Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.
•Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.
•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.
Auto light switch precautions•The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is at Level 4.
•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.
•Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down the battery.
•Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
•Illumination turns off after the preset illumination
duration (see “To set the time and date”), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face.
• Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.
•Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate malfunction of the auto light switch.
•You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.
