Power Supply

The power supply of this watch uses a solar cell to generate electrical power, which is stored by a rechargeable battery. Using or storing the watch where it is not regularly exposed to light, or allowing it to be blocked from light by your sleeve for long periods 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 when you are wearing or storing it.

Important!

Note that all data in memory and all settings are cleared whenever you allow the level of the rechargeable battery to drop to Level 4.

Face Illumination

An LED light is used to illuminate the face of the watch for easy reading in the dark. An auto light switch automatically illuminates the face when you angle the watch towards your eyes for reading.

❚

To illuminate the face manually

Press the

B button in any

mode to illuminate the face of the watch.

• You can use the procedure under

“Specifying the Illumination Duration” to configure the illumination duration as approximately 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds.

• Pressing the B button illuminates the face regardless of whether the auto light switch is on or off.

You may hear a faint rattling sound when you move the watch around. This sound is caused by the movement of a metal bulb that controls operation of the auto light switch, and does not indicate malfunction.

❚

To illuminate the face with the auto light switch

The auto light switch automatically illuminates the face whenever you angle the watch towards your eyes for reading, but only when it is dark.

• The auto light switch does not illuminate the face when surrounding light is bright.

You can use the procedure under “Specifying the Illumination Duration” to configure the illumination duration as approximately 1.5 seconds or 3 seconds.

❚

To turn the auto light switch on and off

While a setting screen (one on which a setting is flashing) is on the digital display, hold down the B button for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (no indicator displayed).

Auto Light Switch On Indicator

Power Saving

Power Saving causes the watch to automatically enter a sleep state and save power whenever the watch is left in the dark. The Power Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory.

• Note that the watch may also enter the sleep state if the watch is blocked from light by your sleeve.

❚

How the sleep state works

Display sleep state

The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for about one hour between the times of 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.

• The display sleep state causes the display to go blank, except for a flashing Power Saving indicator. Alarms and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state. Even when the watch is in the display sleep state, digital-analog time coordination and auto signal receive are both performed.

•

The watch will not enter the sleep state if it is in the Stopwatch Mode.

Function sleep state

The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for six or seven days.

• Alarms and the hourly time signal are disabled while the watch is in the function sleep state. In the function sleep state, the analog hands remain stopped at the 12 o’clock position, and auto signal receive is not performed.

• Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally in the function sleep state.

Power Saving Indicator

❚

Positioning Your Arm Correctly

With the watch on your wrist, position it level with the ground.

• You should be wearing the watch on the outside of your wrist

when using the auto light switch.

• Make sure that the left (9 o’clock) and right (3 o’clock) sides of the watch are within ±15 degrees of being parallel with the ground. The auto light switch may not operate properly if the angle is greater.

Important!

• The light may be difficult to see if you turn it on under bright sunlight.

• If you press the B button or if an alarm operation starts while the face is illuminated, illumination will turn off.

Rotate your arm so the watch is angled at about 40 degrees, so you can read its face.

❚

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a brightly lit location or press any button. The watch will also recover from the sleep state if you angle it towards your eyes for reading (see “To illuminate the face with the auto light switch”).

• It can take up to two seconds before display figures re-appear after you place the watch in a well-lit area.

❚

To turn Power Saving on and off

Use the procedure under “To configure home time settings” to turn Power Saving on or off.

Leaving the watch in a drawer or anywhere else it is dark can cause Power Saving to trigger in order to conserve battery power.

Auto Light Precautions

• Frequent use of the auto light can run down the battery.

• The auto light switch may cause the face to illuminate when your

sleeve covers the display of the watch.

• The face may not illuminate immediately when you angle the watch towards your face. This does not indicate malfunction.

• The face remains illuminated for the currently set duration (1.5 or 3 seconds) only, even if you leave the watch angled towards your face.

• The auto light switch is automatically disabled whenever battery

At least 40 degrees

power is at Level 3 or lower.

• The face may illuminate unintentionally when you wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, when you shake your arm, or when you raise your arm. Be sure to turn off the auto light switch

whenever you do not need illumination.

• Keep the auto light switch turned off whenever you are wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist.

• Electro-static charge and magnetism can interfere with auto light operation and even make operation impossible. If this happens lower your arm to the starting position and then raise it again. If you still have trouble with illumination, try lowering your arm down to your side and then raise it to your face for reading.

• The auto light switch is automatically disabled when the watch is in the Hand Setting Mode.

How a Radio-controlled Watch Works

What is a radio-controlled watch?

Your radio-controlled watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal that contains standard time data, and adjust its current time setting accordingly.

Long-

Watch

wave time calibration signal

Signal data

Time data

Internally

Transmitter

Cesium atomic clock

After the watch receives the 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 displayed time.

Signal is received using built-in antenna.

Watch decodes received data and converts it to time data.

Decode

Time is adjusted according to time data.

Location

Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal reception.

• You should think of your watch operating like a radio or TV when it is receiving the calibration signal.

Among or near buildings

Inside a vehicle (automobile, train, plane, etc.)

Near high-voltage lines

Next to a household appliance or office equipment (TV, speaker, fax, computer, cell phone, etc.)

Calibration Signal

• The Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is maintained by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT). It is a long wave signal transmitted 24 hours a day from the Mt. Otakadoya transmitter (40kHz) located in Tamura-gun, Fukushima Prefecture, and from the Mt. Hagane transmitter (60kHz) located on the border between Saga Prefecture and Fukuoka Prefecture.

• The U.S. calibration signal (Call Sign: WWVB) is transmitted by the National Institute of Standards and technology from Fort Collins, Colorado.

Note that transmission of the standard wave may be interrupted occasionally due to maintenance, lightening, etc.

Receiving the Calibration Signal

There are two methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal.

• Auto receive (Reception is performed automatically at

midnight, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 and 4:00 each morning.)

• Manual receive (You initiate reception using a button

operation.)

• If reception is not successful for any of the normal auto receive operations shown above, auto receive is performed one more time at 5:00 a.m.

• The watch is set up for auto receive at the factory, so all you need to do is to place it in a location that allows good reception each night.

❚

To position the watch for optimum reception

Remove the watch from your wrist and place it somewhere so its top (12 o’clock side, where the antenna is located) is facing approximately in the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep the watch away from metal objects.

Resin band

• Under optimum conditions, the calibration signal should be receivable up to 1,000 kilometers from the transmitter. Note that the wave is relatively weak at distances greater than 500km, so reception may be poor at long distances.

• Geographic contours, nearby buildings, seasonal conditions, the time of day, can even make reception impossible even when you are within range of the transmitter.

• Best reception is possible late at night.

• Under optimum conditions, the calibration signal should be

receivable up to 3,000 kilometers from the transmitter. Note that the wave is relatively weak at distances greater than 1,000km, so reception may be poor at long distances.

In a location where there is radio interference (construction site, airport, etc.)

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.

Near mountains

Metal band

• Orienting the watch so it is sideways to the transmitter makes it more difficult to receive the signal.

• Do not move the watch while it is receiving the calibration signal.

Page 4

❚

Time Required for Reception

A calibration signal receive operation takes anywhere from about two to six minutes.

• Note that when “AUTO” (Auto Select) is specified as the transmitter selection mode, signal reception can take up to 12 minutes.

• See “Configuring Auto Receive Settings” for more information.

❚

To perform manual receive

In the Timekeeping Mode, hold

down the

D button for about

two seconds.

• The watch will beep and reception

will start. An indicator will appear on the display to indicate reception conditions.

❚

To interrupt reception

Press the

D button.

• All other buttons besides D are disabled during signal reception.

When reception is successful

The watch terminates reception and adjusts the current time. Next it beeps and then displays the date and time that the adjustment was performed.

Reception Error (ERR Indicator)

The watch does not adjust its current time setting, and displays “ERR” when signal reception is unsuccessful for some reason.

• The watch will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about one or two minutes.

Operation Guide 3329

❚

Receive Indicator

The receive indicator cycles from “Unstable” through “Stable” as shown below while reception is in progress. How far it cycles depends on the signal strength. Keep the watch in a location where reception is stable while reception is in progress.

Unstable

• Even under optimum reception conditions, it can take about 10 seconds for reception to stabilize.

• Use the receive indicator to check reception status and to determine the best location for signal reception.

• Note that weather, the time of day, surroundings, and other factors can all affect reception.

Calibration Signal Reception Precautions

• Auto reception can be performed while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode only.

• When a time calibration signal is received, the watch corrects its digital time setting first, and then adjusts the analog time setting accordingly. In order to ensure that the analog time matches the digital time, make sure you adjust the analog time to match the digital time before signal reception is performed.

• Pressing any button while auto reception is in progress will cause the watch to beep and then exit the receive operation.

• Make sure you are within the range of the calibration signal transmitter before performing the reception operation. Remember that geographic contours, nearby buildings, seasonal conditions, the time of day, can even 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.

• This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in accordance with the calibration signal transmitted in Japan and the United States only. It operates like a standard (non-radio controlled) watch outside of the range of the receivable time calibration signal transmitters.

• When the watch is unable to adjust its time signal using the calibration signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is within

±15 seconds per month.

• Strong electrostatic charge can cause timekeeping error.

• Signal reception is cancelled if an alarm starts to sound 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.

Page 5

Operation Guide 3329

Troubleshooting

The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal.

• Is the signal being transmitted? Though the Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is continually transmitted by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in theory, it may sometimes be interrupted for periodic maintenance work, or because of lightening or other problems.

• Are you within the reception range of a transmitter? See “Reception Range” 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, objects between you and the transmitter or electrical noise can interfere with reception. Avoid such areas during signal reception. See “Location” for more information.

• Do you have the correct Home City code selected? Remember that auto receive is not performed unless TYO (Japan), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los Angeles) is selected as the Home City. Select the correct Home City code using the procedure under “To configure home time settings”.

• Is auto receive turned off (OFF)? Use the procedure under “Configuring Auto Receive Settings” to turn on auto receive.

• Is the watch in any mode other than the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode during the auto receive times (midnight, 1:00 a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m.)? 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.

World Time Mode

World time lets you display the current time in any one of 30 cities (29 time zones) around the world.

• When you enter the World Time Mode, the screen for the city that was displayed when you last exited the mode appears first.

• The seconds count in the World Time Mode is linked with the Timekeeping Mode seconds count.

• The same 12-hour/24-hour format you select for the Timekeeping Mode time is also applied in the World Time Mode.

Important!

If the World Time Mode time is incorrect, correct the setting of the current time in the Timekeeping Mode.

• For information about selecting a Home City, see “To configure home time settings”.

Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the hourly time signal and current time are slightly off.

• 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 slightly off (within one second).

Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the current time is one hour fast.

• Do you have summer time (DST) turned on (ON)? Use the procedure under “To configure home time settings” to turn off summer time.

Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the current time setting is wrong.

• Is the correct city code selected for your Home City? If you are in Japan, you should have TYO selected for your Home City. For other areas, select the correct Home City code using the procedure under “To configure home time settings”.
