● Checking the Battery Level
Power Supply The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate electric power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using or storing the watch where it is not exposed to light regularly or allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve as you are wearing it can cause the power of the rechargeable battery to run down. To ensure stable operation, be sure to allow the watch to be exposed to light as much as possible while you are wearing or storing it.
Use the Battery Mode to check the current level of the watch’s rechargeable battery. x In the Timekeeping Mode, press C once to change to the Battery Mode. x The battery level hand indicates the current battery level in all modes. 7LPHNHHSLQJ0RGH

x Indicators described to the left appear in the Timekeeping Mode at Level 3 and Level 4. x Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may cause the battery level hand to indicate a level that is momentarily higher than the actual battery level. Because of this, you should wait for a short while after charging to check the battery level. x Even if the battery level drops all the way to Level 5, you still will be able to recharge the battery and use the watch again. x If you start charging from Level 5, the display of the watch will appear when the battery reaches Level 2. At this time you should continue to expose the watch to light until it charges up to Level 2 or Level 1. x The Home City will revert to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops down to Level 5. If you are using a Home City setting that is not TYO (Tokyo), select the Home City you want after the battery is charged sufficiently.
● Level 3 or 4 indicates charging is required! Battery Level 3 or 4 indicates that remaining battery power is very low. Be sure to recharge the battery by exposing the watch to light as soon as possible at the first sign of low battery power.
● Flashing R Indicator If you use the light or alarm a number of times during a short period, an R (recover) indicator may flash on the display and the following operations may become disabled as the battery level recovers. x Analog timekeeping x Display illumination x Alarm and hourly time signal x Time up beeper x Time calibration signal reception
5HFRYHULQGLFDWRU
Normal operation will return after the battery recovers. 26

● Charging Precautions
● To charge the battery
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere else where the watch may become very hot. x On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun x Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of heat x In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods
Point the solar panel (face) of the watch at a light source. x Remember that even partial blockage of the solar cell reduces charging efficiency. 6RODUFHOO
Note that the display panel may become black under very high temperatures. This is temporary, and the display will appear normal again at lower temperatures. Depending on the light source you are using, the case of the watch may become quite hot when charging. Take care to guard against burn injury after charging. x The illustration shows the resin band model.

● What happens when the watch is in a sleep state
Power Saving Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically, which causes the hands to stop and the display to go blank, whenever the watch is left in the dark. The Power Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory, but you can turn it off if you want. x Note that the watch also may enter a sleep state if the watch is blocked from light by your sleeve.
x Display sleep Display sleep is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for about one hour any time between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. x The display goes blank in the display sleep state. Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally. Digital-analog time coordination and auto signal receive are both performed normally. x The watch does not enter a sleep state if it is in the Countdown Timer Mode or Stopwatch Mode.
32
33
x Function sleep Function sleep is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for six or seven days. x Alarms and the hourly time signal are disabled. Analog timekeeping and auto signal receive are both disabled. x Internal timekeeping continues to operate normally.
● To recover from a sleep state
● Turning Power Saving On or Off See the procedure under “Configuring Time and Date Settings” (page 97) for information about turning off Power Saving. Leaving the watch in a drawer or anywhere else it is dark can cause Power Saving to trigger in order to conserve battery power.
Move the watch to a brightly lit location or press any button. x It can take up to two seconds before display figures re-appear after you place the watch in a well-lit area.

How a Radio-controlled Watch Works ■ What is a radio-controlled watch? A radio-controlled watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal that contains standard time data, and adjust its current time setting accordingly. 7UDQVPLWWHU
/RQJZDYHWLPH FDOLEUDWLRQVLJQDO
&HVLXP DWRPLFFORFN
:DWFK
After the watch receives a Standard Time signal, it performs internal calculations to determine the current time. Because of this, there may be an error of up to one second in the indicated time.
■ Calibration Signal
● The Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is maintained by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). It is transmitted 24 hours a day from Mt. Otakadoya (40 kHz) located in Fukushima Prefecture, and from Mt. Hagane (60 kHz) located on the border between Saga Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture. ● The Chinese calibration signal (Call Sign: BPC) is maintained by National Time Service center (NTSC) of China and is transmitted from Shangqiu. ● The U.S. calibration signal (Call Sign: WWVB) is transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) from Fort Collins, Colorado. ● The U.K. calibration signal (Call Sign: MSF) is transmitted by the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) from Anthorn, which is located near Anthorn, Cumbria. ● The German calibration signal (Call Sign: DCF77) is transmitted by Physikalisch Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Mainflingen, which is located southeast of Frankfurt. x Time calibration signal frequencies and transmitter locations are subject to change.
36
37
Note that transmission of the Japanese calibration signal may be interrupted occasionally due to maintenance, lightning, etc. For more information, visit the website of the Japan Standard Time Group of the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) at the URL below. http://jjy.nict.go.jp/ xNote that the above URL is subject to change.
■ Reception Ranges The table below shows the time calibration signal that the watch receives when a particular city code is selected as your Home City. x For information about the Home City setting, see page 67. See page 73 for details about city codes. Home City (Cities that support signal reception) TPE, SEL, TYO

● Certain conditions can make reception impossible even when the watch is within one of the reception ranges shown above. Signals become weaker outside of the smaller circles indicated by dashed lines in the maps above, so the reception environment has a greater effect on signal reception. x The following also can affect signal reception: geographic contours, structures, weather, climate, time of day (afternoon, evening), noise. ● Using this watch in an area covered by a time calibration that is different from the areas supported by this watch may result in incorrect time indication due to local application of summer time, etc.
■ Reception Time A receive operation can take anywhere from about two to seven minutes. x Under certain conditions, a receive operation can take as long as 14 minutes.
■ Positioning the Watch for Best Reception Remove the watch from your wrist and place it somewhere so its top (12 o’clock, where the antenna is located) is facing approximately in the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep it away from metal objects. x Orienting the watch so it is sideways to the transmitter makes it more difficult for it to receive the signal. x Do not move the watch while it is receiving the calibration signal.
5HVLQEDQG

45
● Important! Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal reception. x You should think of your watch as operating like a radio or TV when it is receiving the calibration signal.
Among or near buildings
Near high-voltage lines
Inside an automobile, train, plane, or other vehicle
Next to a household appliance or office equipment (TV, speaker, fax, computer, cell phone, etc.)
At a construction site, airport, or other location where there is radio interference
Near mountains
If you are experiencing problems with reception, move away from the types of locations described above to a location with better reception, and try again.
46
■ Receiving a Calibration Signal There are two methods you can use in order to receive the time calibration signal. x Auto receive: Reception six times a day (five times for the China signal) x Manual receive: You hold down D in the Timekeeping Mode.
■ Auto Receive
x Auto Receive is performed whenever one of the cities shown in the table below is selected as the Home City (page 67). Note however that the initial factory default setting for auto receive is OFF for the HNL, ANC, and MOW city codes. x For information about how to turn auto receive on or off, see page 57. x Calibration signal reception will start automatically whenever the current time in the Timekeeping mode (page 17) reaches one of the Auto Receive Start Times shown below. Auto receive is performed up to six times a day (five times for the China signal). Once a signal receive operation is successful, no more auto receive operations are performed that day. Note that the Auto Receive Start Times differ according to the current Home City setting and the summer time setting.

Auto Receive modes Auto receive can be performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Use C to enter the Timekeeping Mode or World Time mode when you want the watch to perform auto receive. When reception is successful As soon as a time calibration signal reception is successful, the watch updates its time setting and then returns to the mode it was in before receive operation started. When reception fails The watch returns to the mode it was in before the receive operation was started, without updating the time setting.

■ Using Manual Receive
x You can use a button operation to trigger signal reception manually whenever you want. Perform this operation in a location and environment that is compatible with reception (page 45). Also, do not move the watch while the receive operation is in progress. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D for about two seconds. x The watch will beep and reception will start. x A signal level indicator (page 54) will be displayed while reception is in progress.
$ERXWVHFRQGV
To cancel a manual receive operation
When reception is successful After a receive operation is complete, the watch will been and then adjust its current time setting. Next, it will display the date and time of the adjustment. x After the date and time of the adjustment appears on the display, press D to return to the Timekeeping Mode. The watch also will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes. When reception fails (ERR) The watch does not adjust its current time setting, and displays “ERR”. x If the “ERR” indicator is displayed, you can clear it manually by pressing D. The error also will clear automatically if you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.
Press any button.

When auto receive is turned on... ● When the Home City is TPE, SEL, or TYO With one of these settings, the watch automatically selects either the Mt. Otakadoya signal (40 kHz) or the Mt. Hagane signal (60 kHz), whichever is strongest. x The transmitter from which a signal last was received successfully will be given priority for the next auto receive operation. ● When the Home City is HKG or BJS The watch receives the signal from Shangqiu. ● When the Home City is HNL, ANC, YVR, LAX, YEA, DEN, MEX, CHI, NYC, YHZ, or YYT The watch receives the signal from Ft. Collins, Colorado. ● When the Home City is LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, or MOW The watch selects either the U.K. (Anthorn) transmitter or German (Mainflingen) transmitter automatically, whichever is strongest. x The transmitter from which a signal last was received successfully will be given priority for the next auto receive operation. 59
Operation Guide 5145 ■ Calibration Signal Reception Precautions
● Auto receive can be performed only while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. ● The receive operation is disabled under any of the following conditions. x When a timer operation is in progress x When the battery is at Level 3 or Level 4 x When the watch is in the recover mode x When the watch is in the function sleep state ● Receipt of a calibration signal causes the digital time to be adjusted first, followed by adjustment of the analog time. In order to ensure proper correction of the analog time, be sure synchronize the analog time with the digital time so they are the same before performing a receive operation. ● Pressing any button while auto receive is in progress will cause the watch to exit the receive operation. ● Make sure you are within the range of a calibration signal transmitter before performing a receive operation.
● Remember that geographic contours, nearby buildings, the season, or the time of day can make reception impossible even when you are within range of the transmitter. ● Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again. ● You will need to adjust the current time manually when using this watch in an area that is not covered by a receivable time calibration signal. ● When the watch is unable to adjust its time using the calibration signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is as noted in the specifications at the back of this manual. ● Strong electrostatic charge can cause timekeeping error. ● Receive is canceled if an alarm operation starts while it is being performed. ● The watch’s calendar shows dates up to the year 2099. Attempting a receive operation after that causes an error.

■ Troubleshooting 1. The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal. ● Is the signal being transmitted? Transmission of time calibration signals may be interrupted occasionally due to maintenance, lightning, etc. ● Are you within the reception range of a transmitter? See page 39 for information about areas where the watch can receive the signal. ● Is there something in the immediate area that may be interfering with reception? Even if you are within the reception range of a transmitter, digital noise or objects between you and the transmitter can interfere with reception. Avoid such areas (see “Positioning the Watch for Best Reception” on page 45) during signal reception. ● Do you have the correct Home City code selected? Calibration signal reception will be impossible if you have any city that is not included under “Reception Range” on page 39 selected as your Home City. For details about setting the Home City, see “Time and Date Settings” on page 96.
● Is auto receive turned off? Use the procedure under “Turning Auto Receive On or Off“ on page 57 to turn on auto receive. ● Is a timer operation in progress? Signal reception cannot be performed while a timer operation is in progress. ● Is the watch in a mode other than the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode when an auto receive time (page 48) is reached? Auto receive is performed only when the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. It is not performed if the watch is in any other mode. 2. Why is the hourly time signal and current time slightly off even though the calibration being received successfully? ● After the watch receives the time calibration signal, it performs an internal decoding process before updating its time setting. Because of this, the time setting may be off slightly (within one second).
62
63
3. Why is the current time shown by the watch one hour ahead even though the calibration being received successfully? ● Is summer time (DST) turned on? Use the procedure under “Time and Date Settings” (page 96) to change the summer time setting to OFF or AUTO. 4. Why is the current time setting wrong even though the calibration being received successfully? ● Are your Home City settings configured correctly? For details about setting the Home City, see “Time and Date Settings” on page 96. 5. Why are the digital time and analog time different?
6. Why can’t I change the auto receive on/off setting? ● You will not be able to turn auto receive on or off if you have any city that is not included under “Reception Ranges” on page 39 selected as your Home City. For details about setting the Home City, see “Time and Date Settings” on page 96. 7. When is auto receive performed? ● Auto receive is performed in the middle of the night, when reception conditions are best. Before going to bed at night, place the watch near a window, with 12 o’clock facing in the general direction of the transmitter (page 45). 8. How do I perform manual receive?
● Normally, received time calibration data is used to adjust the digital display time, and then the analog hands are adjusted to match the digital time. If the hands are misaligned for some reason, they will not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedure under “Hand Home Position Adjustment” (page 106) to adjust the analog time.
● In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down D (lower right button) for about two seconds. A confirmation tone will sound to indicate that manual receive has started. Place the watch near a window, with 12 o’clock (where the antenna is located) facing in the general direction of the transmitter.

9. How can I view the last reception date and time? ● In the Timekeeping Mode, press D (lower right button). This will display the date and time that the time calibration signal was last received successfully. To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press D again. If you cannot receive the calibration signal or if the time setting is incorrect after signal reception, check the setup of the watch. x The following are the watch’s factory default settings, which are configured automatically whenever you have the battery replaced or when you recharge the watch’s the battery after it falls to Level 5.
