Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping

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

• Supported time calibration signals: Germany (Mainflingen), England (Anthorn).

• See the information under “Signal Reception Troubleshooting” if you experience

problems with time calibration signal reception.

Current Time Setting

This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when necessary.

• The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home City, which is the city where you normally will use the watch. For more information, see “To specify your Home City”.

• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See for more information about manual time settings.

To specify your Home City

• In addition to the above, you also can select city codes that are outside the ranges of the time calibration signal transmitters supported by this watch.

3. After the Home City setting is the way you want, press A to return to the

Timekeeping Mode.

• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home City code. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto receive operation. You also can perform manual receive or you can set the time manually.

• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there are some times when the analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under “Adjusting the Home Positions” to check the home positions of the hands, and make adjustments as required.

Time Calibration Signal Reception

There are two different methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal: auto receive and manual receive.

• Auto Receive

With auto receive, the watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. For more information, see “About Auto Receive”.

• Manual Receive

Manual receive lets you start a time calibration receive operation with the press of a button. For more information, see “To perform manual receive”.

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, hold down A for about five

seconds until the watch beeps twice.

• The second hand will move to the city code of the currently selected Home City. This is the city code setting mode.

2. Use B to move the second hand to the city code you

want to use as your Home City.

• Each press of B causes the second hand to advance clockwise to the next city code.

• Time calibration signal reception is supported when any one of the city codes shown in the table below is selected as your Home City.

Important!

• When getting ready to receive the time calibration signal, position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with its 12 o’clock side facing towards a window. This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal late at night. Because of this, you should place the watch near a window as shown in the illustration when you take it off at night. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

• Make sure the watch is facing the right way.

• Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions listed

below.

Inside or among buildings

• Signal reception normally is better at night than during the day.

• Time calibration signal reception takes from two to seven minutes, but in some

cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operations or move the watch during this time.

Approximate Reception Ranges

• In April 2007, the U.K. signal transmitter was moved from Rugby to Anthorn, which resulted in a slight shift in the approximate reception range of the signal. The shift is so slight that there is virtually no change in the ability to receive the signal.

• Even when the watch is within the reception range of a transmitter, signal reception may be impossible at times due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the season of the year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. Note that the signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers from the transmitter, which means that the influence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater.

About Auto Receive

The watch receives the time calibration signal automatically up to six times a day. When any auto receive is successful, the remaining auto receive operations are not performed. The reception schedule (calibration times) depends on your currently selected Home City, and whether standard time or Daylight Saving Time is selected for your Home City.

Note

• When a calibration time is reached, the watch will receive the calibration signal only if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are configuring settings.

• Auto receipt of the calibration signal is designed to be performed early in the morning, while you sleep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode 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 receive the signal easily.

• The watch receives the calibration signal for two to 14 minutes every day when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches each of the calibration times. Do not perform any button operation within 14 minutes before or after the calibration times. Doing so can interfere with correct calibration.

• Remember that reception of the calibration signal depends on the current time in the Timekeeping Mode.

Elapsed Time Measurement in Progress

If you enter the Stopwatch Mode while elapsed time measurement is being performed, the second hands of Stopwatch A and Stopwatch B will quickly move to the current elapsed second. The stopwatch minute hand and the digital display will indicate the minutes of the last stopwatch (A or B) you were viewing the last time you exited the Stopwatch Mode.

Elapsed Time Measurement Not in Progress

Both stopwatches will be reset to their starting positions, with the stopwatch minute hand stopped at 0 and the digital display showing 00. Stopwatch A will be standing by to start timing. The hour and minute hands of the watch indicate the current Timekeeping Mode time.

Elapsed Time Measurements

Perform the same steps for either of the stopwatches. Each stopwatch can be used to perform a separate timing operation.

1. Press the A button to toggle between Stopwatch A and Stopwatch B.

• The stopwatch minute hand and the digital display indicate the minutes and 1/100 seconds for the currently selected stopwatch.

2. Press the B button to start and stop the currently selected stopwatch.

• Pressing the B button to restart the stopwatch without resetting it to all zeros

resumes elapsed time measurement from where it was last stopped.

• Switching from one stopwatch to another does not stop any ongoing timing operation. The timing operations continue internally, even though they are not indicated on the display.

Resetting a Stopwatch

• To reset the currently selected stopwatch to its starting position, make sure it is stopped and then hold down the B button for about three seconds.

• To reset both of the stopwatches to their starting positions, make sure they are both stopped and then hold down the A button for about three seconds.
