it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run down.

 

 

Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

 

 

 

 

Solar cell

When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,

position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright light.

 

 

You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve

 

as much as possible. Charging is reduced significantly if

 

the face is only partially covered.

The actual level at which some functions are disabled depends on the watch model.

Frequent display illumination can run down the battery quickly and require charging. The following guidelines give an idea of the charging time required to recover from a single illumination operation.

Approximately 5 minutes exposure to bright sunlight coming in through a window Approximately 50 minutes exposure to indoor fluorescent lighting

Be sure to read “Power Supply” for important information you need to know when exposing the watch to bright light.

If the display of the watch is blank...

If the display of the watch is blank, it means that the watch’s Power Saving function has turned off the display to conserve power.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it exposed to light as much as possible.

The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch

 

 

is to specify your Home City (the city where you

 

 

normally will use the watch). For more information, see

 

 

“To specify your Home City”.

When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See “Timekeeping” for more information about manual time settings.

The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North America. The term “North America” in this manual refers to the area that consists of Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.

Important!

Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you select your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation (in the middle of the night). You can also perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For information about the relationship between city codes and transmitters, see “Home City Codes and Transmitters”.

Under factory default settings, auto receive is turned off for all of the following city codes: MOW (Moscow), HKG (Hong Kong), BJS (Beijing), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage). For details about turning on auto receive for these city codes, see “To turn auto receive on and off”.

You can disable time signal reception, if you want. See “To turn auto receive on and off” for more information.

See the maps under “Reception Ranges” for information about the reception ranges of the watch.

If you are in an area that does not use Daylight Saving Time (summertime), turn off the DST setting.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

Important!

When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

12 o’clock

or

Make sure the watch is facing the right way.
