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 sleep

x

state (page E-10) if its face is

blocked by your sleeve even

only partially.

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.

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 Current Time and Date Settings Manually” (page E-23) for more

information.

This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code selected as the Home

City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one that supports time calibration signal

reception.

If your Home City Code setting is this: The watch can receive the signal from the transmitter

located here:

LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH) Anthorn (England), Mainfl ingen (Germany)

Important!

The areas covered by

xHONOLULU (HNL) and ANCHORAGE (ANC) are quite far from the calibration

signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.

Power Saving

Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area

where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.

There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

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

state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.

E-9

Power Recovery Mode

The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation temporarily whenever

power suddenly drops below a certain level due to continuous signal reception or other operations over a

short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the watch is in the power recovery mode.

The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal operation after power

recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location where it is exposed to light will help power

to recover sooner.

Important!

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

x

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 such a way that it is

x

blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to

bright light whenever possible.

Power Levels

You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by observing the movement of

the

x

Second Hand.

If the

x

x

Second Hand is moving normally at one-second intervals, power is

at Level 1.

If the

x

x

Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals, power is at Level 2,

which is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible so it can

charge (Low battery alert).

E-20

STD/DST Switching

You can select summer time or standard time independently for each city. The initial default setting for all

cities is AUTO.

Normally you should use the AUTO setting because it automatically switches between summer time

and standard time. You should change the setting to STD (standard time) or DST (summer time) in the

following cases.

When using the watch in a city not included in the City Code Table

−

When the switching dates in your location are different from those shown in the City Code Table −
