1. Your Watch
<Radio Signal Reception Function>
This watch is a radio controlled watch, which receives the standard time radio waves that are
broadcast from radio wave transmitters in four regions, Japan, the USA, Europe (Germany) and
China, and uses these waves to automatically correct the time and date.
P. 126
◎Automatic reception: The watch will automatically receive the radio wave up to three
times a day, at 2 a.m., 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., and adjust the time and date accordingly.
The 4 a.m. automatic reception can be changed to any time of the day.
◎On demand reception function: The radio wave can be received at any time of the day
to adjust the time and date.
<World Time Function>
◎ UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), the time and date of 43 cities (or regions) from around
the world and one city (any can be set) can be displayed and easily called up. It is
convenient when traveling overseas on business or vacation.
Daylight saving time can also be set.
P. 144
117
<Solar Power Function>
This is a multi-functional Eco-Drive watch, which is equipped with a solar power
function for powering the watch by converting light energy into electric energy.
◎Charge level display function: This function displays the charge level in four
grades, to give an approximate indication of how much the rechargeable cell is
charged.
◎Power saving function: The watch is equipped with two power saving functions.
If the watch face is not exposed to light for 30 minutes or longer, all the LCD display
sections turn off (Power saving 1). If the watch face is then not exposed to light for
one week or longer, some of the watch’s functions are stopped in order to minimize
the watch’s power consumption (Power saving 2).
118
P. 186
P. 180
The watch integrates three functions, a JIS Type 1 magnetic resistance watch* function, shock
detection function, and Automatic hand correction function, in order to prevent hand misalignment
caused by external factors such as impacts or magnetism.
* JIS: Japanese Industrial Standards

■ 4. Radio Signal Reception
Three types of radio signal reception are possible: automatic reception, on demand
reception and recovery automatic reception.
There are three modes where reception is possible: time (TME), calendar (CAL) and
receive set (RX-S). The watch cannot receive signals in any other mode.
Display the home city in digital display 2 when receiving the radio wave.
• Reception is not possible unless the crown is in the normal position.
• If the home city is “UTC”, reception is not possible.
• Reception is not possible during chronograph or timer measurement.
• The reception level may change depending on the surrounding environment. While
referring to reception level (H, M or L), change the watch location, direction and angle
to try to receive the radio wave.
• When the watch is receiving the radio wave, as a general rule, all of the hands will
stop. To check the time, hold the lower right button (A) for 2 seconds to cancel radio
wave reception. The hands will then return to the current time.
• Even while the radio wave is being received, the second hand will continue to rotate to
align the minute hand with the current time. This shortens the time it takes to set the
correct time.

■ 8. Reception Area Guidelines
This watch can receive standard time radio waves broadcast from Japan (two transmitters), the USA, Europe
(Germany) and China.
The standard time radio wave to be received can be changed by selecting the city in another region.
The maps show the approximate reception areas. However, note that the radio wave condition could change
due to factors including the weather (such as lightning) and changes in the season or sunrise/sunset time.
The reception area on the map is only guideline, and it may be difficult to receive the radio signal even
within the areas indicated on the map.
The standard time radio wave used by this radio controlled watch may be interrupted occasionally due to
special circumstances at the radio wave transmitter.
Even if reception of the standard time radio wave has failed, the watch will continue to be accurate to
within ±15 seconds per month.
