Keep the watch exposed to bright light l l l l l l l l l l l Bright Light Solar cell The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where it is not exposed to light causes the battery 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 only partially covered. • 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. Battery charges in the light. Solar cell (Converts light to electrical power.) • 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.

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). • See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience problems with time calibration signal reception. 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 “To set the time and date manually” 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. • 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. lll 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 for the China signal). 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. This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby. lll To specify your Home City 1.

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 signals transmitted by the Fukushima and Fukuoka/ Saga, Japan transmitters include summer time data, summer time currently is not implemented in Japan (as of 2009). • The default DST setting is Auto DST ( ) 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. llll ▲ ▲ ll D llll Seconds Year Hour Minutes Screen: To do this: Change the city code Press D.

It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch. Power Saving Function When turned on, the Power Saving function enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left in an area for a certain period where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by the Power Saving function. 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 year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099. • The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change it except when battery power drops to Level 5 (C). • The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is calculated in accordance with the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home City time setting. Illumination Precautions Elapsed Time in Dark 60 to 70 minutes Hands and Display Operation Left dial hand: PS; Stopwatch All functions enabled, except hand: “60”; Other hands: for displays Normal; Display: Blank Left dial hand: PS; Other hands: Auto receive, beeper tone, 6 or 7 days Stopped at 12 o’clock; illumination, and display Display: Blank disabled. • Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state. • The watch will not enter the sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in the sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state. To recover from the sleep state Perform any one of the following operations. • Move the watch to a well-lit area. • Press any button. • Angle the watch towards your face for reading. lll lll To turn Power Saving on and off 1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about five seconds until the left dial hand points to T1 and the city code flashes on the upper display. This is the setting screen. 2. Press C nine times until the Power Saving on/off l l ll screen appears. 3. Press D to toggle Power Saving on ( ) and off ( ). 4. Press A twice to exit the setting screen. llll On/Off status Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions • Strong electrostatic charge can cause the time setting to be thrown off. • The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily impossible. • Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. • The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority over any time settings you make manually. • 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 the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100. • This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years. • 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. • If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the watch keeps the time with the precision noted in “Specifications”. • 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 and DST (summer time) settings. • The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery power drops to Level 5 (C) or when you have the rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the Home City to the setting you want. Transmitters The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently selected Home City code. • When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from the United States (Fort Collins). • When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signal transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga). • When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted from Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Anthorn). • When a China time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration signals transmitted from China (Shangqiu City). • When your Home City is LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW (which can receive both the Anthorn and Mainflingen signals), the watch first tries to pick up the signal it last successfully received. If that fails, it tries the other signal. For the first receive after you select your Home City, the watch tries the nearest signal first (Anthorn for LIS, LON, Mainflingen for MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, and MOW). • Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight. • 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 (C). • Avoid wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist. Doing so causes the auto light switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery life. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto light switch feature. More than 15 degrees too high • 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 in about one second, 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 toward 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.
