Warning!

The measurement functions built into this watch are not intended for taking measurements that require professional or industrial precision. Values produced by this watch should be considered as reasonable representations only.

The Moon phase indicator and tide graph data that appear on the display of this watch are not intended for navigation purposes. Always use proper instruments and resources to obtain data for navigation purposes.

This watch is not an instrument for calculating low tide and high tide times. The tide graph of this watch is intended to provide a reasonable approximation of tidal movements only.

to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as

 

 

 

 

 

much as possible.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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 covered only partially.

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 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.

See “Power Saving Function” for more information.

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”.

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 December 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.

Using this watch in a country covered by a time calibration that is different from the countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application of summer time, etc.

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 all of 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”.
