Current Time Setting

Normally, you do not need to do anything to set the current time as long as you are
within an area in West Europe where the watch can pick up the time calibration signal.
You can also set the current time manually when you are outside the range of the
signal.

• Before using the watch after purchasing it, use the procedure under “Selecting Your
Home City Code” to specify your home city, and then use the procedure under “To
perform manual time calibration signal reception.”

• Note that after you set your Home City code, you must also turn on the watch’s time
calibration signal receiver if you want to enable auto time calibration. See “About
Auto Receive” for more information.

• See “Setting the Time and Date Manually” for information about manual settings.

Setting the Time and Date Manually

The times displayed in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode are linked. Even
if you plan to use the watch without enabling auto time calibration, be sure to select a
Home City code (the city code whose time and date you are setting), before you set
the time and date.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

This watch is designed to pick up a time calibration signal transmitted from
Mainflingen, Germany and update its time setting in accordance with the signal. There
are two different methods you can use to receive the signal: Auto Receive and
Manual Receive. With Auto Receive, the watch automatically receives the calibration
signal three times each day and makes appropriate adjustments. With Manual

Receive, you perform a specific button operation to receive the calibration signal.
Note

• If you are using the time calibration signal to set the time for this watch, be sure to

correctly set your home city. Otherwise, there is the chance that the watch will not
set the correct time. See the “To select your Home City code” for details.

• This watch automatically switches between DST and standard time while BER is

selected as the home city code. For any other home city code, you must perform the
procedure under “To set the current time and date manually” to switch between DST
and standard time.

• Time calibration reception is limited to specific geographic areas in West Europe.

• The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority

over any time settings you make.

• The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the

period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.

• This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap years.

• Auto Receive is turned on when the watch is shipped from the factory.

• See the information under “Time Calibration Signal Reception Precautions” if you

experience problems with time calibration signal reception.

Press D to toggle auto receive on and off.
Press D to toggle between Daylight Saving TIme (ON) and
standard time (OFF).
Press D to toggle between 12-hour (12H) and 24-hour (24H)
timekeeping.
Use D (+) and B (–) to change the setting.
Press D to reset to 00.
Use D (+) and B (–) to change the setting.

Receive indicator

Note

• To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping screen, press D.

• If the receive operation is unsuccessful, the message “ERR” appears on the Last

Signal screen for about one or two minutes. After that, the watch returns to the
Timekeeping screen.

• You can also change from the Last Signal screen to the Timekeeping screen by
pressing D.

About the Receive Indicator

The receive indicator shows the strength of the calibration signal being received. For
best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a location where signal strength is
strongest.

• Even in an area where signal strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signal
reception to stabilize enough for the receive indicator to indicate signal strength.

• Use the receive indicator as a guide for checking signal strength and for finding the
best location for the watch during signal receive operations.

• The receive indicator remains on the display in all modes following reception of the
time calibration signal and calibration of the watch’s time setting. The receive
indicator does not appear if signal reception was unsuccessful or after manual
adjustment of the current time setting.

About Auto Receive

When auto receive is turned on, the watch automatically starts to receive the time
calibration signal when the digital time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches 2:00 AM,
4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM each day (calibration times).

Note

• The Auto Receive operation is performed only if the watch is in the Timekeeping
Mode or World Time Mode when one of the calibration times is reached. It is not
performed if the calibration time is reached while you are making settings (while
settings are flashing on the display).

• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the
morning, while you sleep (provided that the digital time is set correctly). Before going
to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a location where
it can easily receive the signal.

• The receive indicator (
time reception attempts were successful.

• When auto receive is turned on, the watch receives the calibration signal for four to
11 minutes each day when the digital time reaches 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM.
Do not operate any of the watch’s buttons within 15 minutes prior to or following the
calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the time shown on the
digital display. The receive operation will be performed whenever the digital display
shows 2:00 AM, 4:00 AM, and 6:00 AM, regardless of whether or not the displayed
time is actually the correct time.

• When two or three receptions are successful, the watch uses the data of the last
reception for calibration. When only one reception is successful, the watch uses the
data of the successful reception.

To turn auto receive on and off

1.Place the watch on a stable surface to its top (12
o’clock side) is facing in the general direction of
Frankfurt, Germany.

• This puts the watch in the optimum position for time

calibration signal reception.

REFERENCE

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
functions of this watch.

Auto Return Features

• If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves anything
you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.

• If you leave the watch in Alarm, Day Counter, or Telememo Mode for about two
minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the
Timekeeping Mode.

Data and Setting Scrolling

The B and D buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.

Initial Screens

When you enter the Alarm, Day Counter, World Time or Telememo Mode, the data you
were viewing when you last exited the mode appears first.

Inputting Text

The following describes how to input text in the Alarm, Day Counter, and Telememo
Modes.

To input characters

Cursor

2. When the character you want is at the cursor position, press C to move the cursor

to the right.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to input the rest of the characters you want.

Display Text

Though you can input up to eight characters for Alarm text, Day Counter text and the
Telememo name, only six characters can appear on the display at one time. Because
of this, display screens switch alternately between the first six characters and the
remaining two characters.

Timekeeping

• Pressing D while setting the current time in the Timekeeping Mode resets the
seconds count to zero. Pressing D while seconds count is in the range of 30 to 59
resets the seconds to 00 and adds 1 to the minutes. In the range of 00 to 29, the
minutes count is unchanged.

• The day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.

• The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2039.

• The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically makes allowances for

different month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no
reason to change it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced.

12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats

The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also
applied in all other modes.

• With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears to the left of the hour digits for
times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the no indicator appears to the left of
the hour digits for times in the range of midnight to 11:59 a.m.

• With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, with 24
indicator.

Time Calibration Signal Reception Precautions

Frankfurt

• Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal changes.

• At long distances that are out of the line of sight of the signal transmitter, the signal

is bounced off of 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.

• This watch is designed to receive the signal transmitted from Mainflingen. This
means that reception is best when the antenna built into the 12 o’clock edge of the
watch is facing towards Mainflingen. Note, however, that moving the watch while the
time calibration signal receive operation is taking place will make stable reception
impossible.

• Think of the watch as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration
signal. When receiving indoors, move to a location as near as possible to a window.
Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions
listed below.

Near TVs, refrigerators, computers, or other household appliances
Far away from broadcasting stations among ferro-concrete structures or near
mountains
Underground, in tunnels or in ferro-concrete buildings
Near high-tension wires, neon signs, or radio stations with interfering frequencies
Near railroads, highways or airports
In trains or cars

1.When the cursor is on the display, use B and D to
cycle through the available letters, numbers and
symbols, in the sequence shown below.

• This watch is able to receive the time calibration signal

transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany (located 25
kilometers southeast of Frankfurt). Signal reception is
possible within the area represented by a circle with a
radius of about 800 kilometers.

• Even when the watch is within the reception range,

signal reception is impossible if the signal is blocked by
mountains or other geological formations between the
watch and signal source.

• Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.

• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.

• The daily alarm and hourly time signal do not operate during signal reception.

• If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the
watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at normal temperature.

World Time

• The current time in all World Time Mode cities is calculated in accordance with the
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based on the current Home
City time setting in the Timekeeping Mode.

• GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.

Backlight Precautions

• The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long use.

• The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under

direct sunlight.

• The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is due
to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate malfunction.

• The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.

Improving Signal Reception

Removing the watch from your wrist and positioning it as shown in the illustrations
nearby helps to improve signal reception.

• If your watch has a resin band, pass the end of the band through the band loop and
place the watch on a stable surface.

Alarm Precautions

The alarm does not sound while signal reception is in progress. This means that an alarm
time that falls within one of the auto receive periods (2:01 to 2:15 a.m., 4:01 to 4:15 a.m.,
6:01 to 6:15 a.m.) may fail to sound if a receive operation is being performed at that time.

6-2. ACCURACY CHECKING

Check the accuracy of the module with the quartz timer after switching the module to “ACCURACY
CHECKING MODE”.

The operations are shown below:
A) SWITCHING TO “ACCURACY CHECKING MODE”

While pressing D button, press A and C buttons at the normal time keeping mode.
Then all the segments are displayed and the LCD drive signals are changed to the static drive signal

of “32 Hz” so that you can check the accuracy with the quartz timer.

B) CANCELLATION OF THE “ACCURACY CHECKING MODE”

Push any button except for D button.
Then the display is returned to its original state.

NOTE: The “ACCURACY CHECKING MODE” will automatically return

to the regular mode in 1 ~ 2 hour(s) without any operation.
