Operation Guide 5196/5252/5301

E-19

The current charging requirement is indicated whenever you push the crown x

back in from the fi rst click.

Failure to expose the watch to light when charging is required will cause the x

charge to be reduced even further.

The charging guide is based on a calculated value (not the actual battery

x

charge). Because of this, the battery charge may go low even if the charging

guide indicates that immediate charging is not required. If this happens, expose

the watch to light as soon as possible to charge the battery.

E-18

To use the charging guide

Pull the crown out to the fi rst click. The 1.

x

Second Hand will move to the currently

selected location setting. Next, push the crown back in.

For about one second, the

x

x

Second Hand will perform movement that indicates

whether the watch’s battery requires charging.

Leave the watch in light for charging.

E-17

When power drops to Level 4, all functions will be disabled but the watch will x

continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery

suffi ciently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the

correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings

(including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings

to their initial factory defaults.

Charging Guide

The charging guide causes the

x

Second Hand to perform movement that gives you

a rough idea of whether the watch needs to be exposed to light in order to charge the

battery.

Warning!

Leaving the watch in bright light for charging 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 x

Too close to an incandescent lamp x

Under direct sunlight x

Important!

Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long

x

periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.

Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in x

such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.

Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.

E-14

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated

power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The

watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.

Charging Guide

Whenever you are not

wearing the watch, be sure

to leave it in a location

where it is exposed to light.

Best charging

x

performance is achieved

by exposing the watch to

light that is as strong as

possible.

When wearing the watch,

makes sure that its face is

not blocked from light by the

sleeve of your clothing.

The watch may enter a

x

sleep state (page E-21) if

its face is blocked by your

sleeve even only partially.

Operation Guide 5196/5252/5301

E-29

To perform manual receive

Hold down 1. A for at least two seconds.

The

x

x

Second Hand will fi rst indicate the last receive

results as either Y (YES) or N (NO), and then move

to RC (Receive in progress) to indicate that signal

reception has started.

The watch’s time setting is adjusted automatically 2.

whenever a receive operation is successful.

Note

It can take as long as 30 seconds for signal reception

x

conditions to stabilize.

If you want to stop a receive operation at any time,

x

press A.

If reception fails for some reason, check the

x

surrounding area and eliminate possible causes for

failure and then try again. See “To get ready for a

What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or 2.

Manual Receive.

Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 1.

x

See “Auto Receive” below for details.

Manual Receive: Perform the operation under “To perform manual receive” on

x

page E-29.

Auto Receive

With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day

x

automatically. Reception times depend on the location settings: 2:00, 3:00, and

4:00 a.m. for JP (TYO, TOKYO), and 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 a.m. for CN (HKG,

HONG KONG). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive

operations for that day are performed.

When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation.

x

The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are

confi guring settings.

x

The receive operation takes from three to x

eight minutes, but in some cases it can take

as long as 18 minutes. Take care that you do

not perform any button operation or move the

watch during this time.

7 to 8 o’clock

E-25

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be x

impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time

of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at

distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the infl uence of the

above conditions becomes even greater.

Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain

x

times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with

reception.

Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)

−

Shangqiu (China) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles) −

As of December 2010, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China x

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

x

countries it supports may result in incorrect time indication due to local application

of summer time, etc.

Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping

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

However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals,

you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Confi guring Time and

Date Settings Manually” (page E-35) for more information.

This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city name

selected as the current location is in Japan or China, and is one that supports time

calibration signal reception.

If your location setting is this: The watch can receive the signal from the transmitter

located here:

CN (HKG, HONG KONG) Shangqiu City (China)

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area, press the A button, or pull out the crown to the

fi rst click.

It can take up to eight minutes for the watch to resume normal operation after

x

recovering from the sleep state. Do not perform any button operations during that

time.

E-21

Power Saving

A Power Saving feature causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically

whenever it is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark.

How Power Saving works

The watch will enter the sleep state if it is left in a dark location for about one week.

In the sleep state:

x

All hands stop at 12 o’clock. −

Auto Receive is disabled. −

Internal timekeeping continues to operate normally. −

The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch x

is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep

state.

■ Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time is wrong.

Possible Cause Remedy Page

Your location setting is wrong. Check your location setting and correct it,

if necessary. E-32

The watch may have been exposed

to magnetism or strong impact, which

has caused problems with proper

hand alignment.

Adjust the watch’s hand home positions. E-43

E-52

■ The current time setting changes after I set it manually.

You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal

(page E-28), which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your

currently selected location. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your location

setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-32).

■ Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.

Possible Cause Remedy Page

Your location setting is wrong. Check your location setting and correct it,

if necessary. E-32

There is not enough power for signal

reception. Expose the watch to light to charge it. E-14

E-51

■ The

x

Second Hand indicates N (NO) when I check the result of the latest

receive operation.

Possible Cause Remedy Page

You are wearing or moving the

x

watch, or performing a button

operation during the signal receive

operation.

The watch is in an area with poor x

reception conditions.

Keep the watch in an area where reception

conditions are good while the signal receive

operation is being performed.

E-26

You are in an area where signal

reception is not possible for some

reason.

See “Approximate Reception Ranges”. E-24

The calibration signal is not being

transmitted for some reason.

Check the website of the organization x

that maintains the time calibration signal

in your area for information about its

down times.

Try again later. x

■ The hands and/or day indications are off.

This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact,

which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s

hand and day home position alignment (page E-44).

Charging

■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.

This can happen after the battery charge level drops to Level 4 (page E-16). Continue

exposing the watch to light until the

x

Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-

second intervals).
