Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.

•This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China (Shangqiu), and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

•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” below.

•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.

•As of January 2009, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly when receiving the China time calibration signal.

• 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 about 8 hours 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.

• 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 also can 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 “Important!” under “Time Calibration Signal Reception” and “Transmitters”.

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

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

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

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 (five times a day for the Chinese calibration signal). When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed for that day. 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”.
