Operation Guide 5055
Power recovery mode indicator
•Overuse of display illumination or the beeper can cause the R (Recover) indicator to appear in the upper display, which indicates that the watch is in the battery power recovery mode. Face illumination, the alarm, the countdown timer alarm, time signals, and all hand operations are disabled in the power recovery mode. The watch continues to keep time internally, so normal timekeeping and function will resume as soon as battery power recovers to normal levels, which is indicated
when the R indicator disappears.
•If R (recover) appears frequently, it probably means that remaining battery power is low. Leave the watch in bright light for some time to allow it to charge.

Charging Precautions
Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid leaving the watch in the areas described below whenever charging its rechargeable battery. Also note that allowing the watch to become very hot can cause its liquid crystal display to black out. The appearance of the LCD should become normal again when the watch returns to a lower temperature.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light to charge its rechargeable battery can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
•On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight
•Too close to an incandescent lamp
•Under direct sunlight
Charging Guide
After a full charge, timekeeping remains enabled for up to about six months.
•The following table shows the amount of time the watch needs to be exposed to light each day in order to generate enough power for normal daily operations.
Exposure Level (Brightness) | Approximate |
| Exposure Time |
|
|
Outdoor Sunlight (50,000 lux) | 8 minutes |
|
|
Sunlight Through a Window (10,000 lux) | 30 minutes |
|
|
Daylight Through a Window on a Cloudy Day (5,000 lux) | 48 minutes |
|
|
Indoor Fluorescent Lighting (500 lux) | 8 hours |
|

•For details about the battery operating time and daily operating conditions, see the “Power Supply” section of the Specifications.
•Stable operation is promoted by frequent exposure to light.

Read This Before You Set the Time and Date!
This watch is preset with a number of city codes, each of which represents the time zone where that city is located. When setting the time, it is important that you first select the correct city code for your Home City (the city where you normally use the watch). If your location is not included in the preset city codes, select the preset city code that is in the same time zone as your location.
•Note that all of the times for the World Time city codes and Dual Time City are displayed in accordance with the time and date settings you configure for the Timekeeping Mode.

Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn (England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both Standard Time and DST data. When the Auto DST setting is turned on, the watch switches between Standard Time and DST (summer time) automatically in accordance with the signals.
•Though the time calibration signal transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2008).
•The default DST setting is Auto DST (AvtA) whenever you select LIS, LON,
MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW, TYO, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA,
DEN, MEX, CHI, MIA, YTO, NYC, YHZ, or YYT as your Home City code.
•If you experience problems receiving the time calibration signal in your area, it probably is best to switch between Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time (summer time) manually.

Dual Time
Dual Time lets you display the current time in another time zone called your “Dual Time City”, in addition your Home City’s current time. This feature is very handy for business professionals and others who need to keep track of the current time in two different time zones.
•For information about how to display the current time in the Dual Time City in the lower display, see “Timekeeping”.
