Power Saving LCD Types

Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically 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
The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for about one hour between the hours 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. The alarm and the hourly time signal continue to operate normally while the watch is in the display sleep state.
The watch will not enter the sleep state if it is in the Timer Mode or the Stopwatch Mode.
Power Saving Indicator
Function sleep state
The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for six or seven days. The power saving indicator stops flashing and remains on the display to indicate the function sleep state.
The alarm and the hourly time signal are disabled while the watch is in the function sleep state, and time calibration signal auto receive is not performed.
Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally in the function sleep state.
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 display 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 “Configuring 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.

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.
Flashing Recover Indicator
If you use the light or alarm a number of times during a short period, a recover (RECOV) indicator flashes on the display and the following operations become disabled as battery power recovers.

Exposing the watch to direct sunlight or other strong light may cause the battery level indicator to indicate a level momentarily that is higher than the actual battery level. Because of this, you should wait for a short while after charging to check the battery level indicator.
Even after the battery drops to Level 4, you will be able to resume normal operation by charging the battery.
When charging from Level 4, the display will start operating when the battery reaches Level 3. At this time you will be able to configure time and date settings, but you should keep the watch exposed to light until the battery reaches Level 2 or Level 1.
Start charging at Level 3!
Battery Level 3 indicates that remaining battery power is very low. Be sure to expose the watch to light for recharging as soon as possible after the Level 3 indicator starts to flash.
To illuminate the display with the auto light switch
The auto light switch automatically illuminates the display whenever you angle the watch towards your eyes for reading, but only when it is dark.
The auto light switch does not illuminate the display when surrounding light is bright.
You can use the procedure under “To specify the illumination duration” to configure the illumination duration as approxi­mately 1.5 seconds or 2.5 seconds.
To turn the auto light switch on and off
While a setting screen (one on which a setting is flashing) is on the display, hold down the L button for about two seconds to toggle the auto light switch on (auto light switch on indicator displayed) and off (no indicator displayed).

Time is adjusted according to time data.
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 time calibration signal may be interrupted occasionally due to maintenance, lightning, etc.
Reception Range
This watch is designed to receive the standard time calibration signal of Japan (JJY) or of the United States (WWVB). The signal that is received depends on the current Home City setting.
For information about selecting a Home City, see “Configuring Home Time Settings”. For information about city codes, see the “World Time City Code List”.

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.

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.
Near high-voltage linesAmong or near buildings
Inside a vehicle
(automobile, train, plane, etc.)
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.
Next to a household appliance or office equipment (TV, speaker, fax, computer, cell phone, etc.)
Near mountains
Receiving the Calibration Signal
There are two methods you can use to receive the time calibration signal.
Auto Receive (3 times per day)
When the Home City setting is TYO or SEL, the time calibration signal is received automatically at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 each morning.
If both the 2:00 and 3:00 receive operations are unsuccessful, a receive operation is performed at 4:00. If receive is still unsuccessful, it is performed again at 5:00.
If all five of the above receive operations are unsuccessful, a receive operation is performed again at midnight the following day.
When the Home City is NYC, CHI, DEN, or LAX, auto receive is performed at midnight, and at 1:00 and 2:00 in the morning.
If both the 1:00 and 2:00 receive operations are unsuccessful, a receive operation is performed at 3:00. If receive is still unsuccessful, it is performed again at 4:00.
If all five of the above receive operations are unsuccessful, a receive operation is performed again at 5:00.
Manual receive (You initiate reception using a button operation.)
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.
3
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
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.
Time Required for Reception
A calibration signal receive operation takes anywhere from about two to five 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.

Calibration Signal Reception Precautions
Auto reception can be performed while the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode only.
Reception cannot be performed while Timer Mode countdown is in progress.
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 the 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.

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 lightning 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 (Tokyo), SEL (Seoul) 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 “Configuring 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.
Operation Guide 2914
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 “Configuring 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 “Configuring Home Time Settings”.
The auto receive ON/OFF settings don’t appear when configuring auto receive settings.
Auto receive ON/OFF settings do not appear on the display unless TYO (Tokyo), SEL (Seoul), NYC (New York), CHI (Chicago), DEN (Denver), or LAX (Los Angeles) is selected as the Home City. Use the procedure under “Configuring Home Time Settings” to select your correct Home City.
The auto receive AUTO, J40, and J60 settings do not appear when configuring auto receive settings.
The AT, J40, and J60 transmitter selection mode options are available only when TYO (Tokyo) is selected as the Home City code. Use the procedure under “Configuring Home Time Settings” to select your correct Home City.
What time 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 its 12 o’clock position facing in the general direction of the transmitter.
How can I perform manual receive?
Hold down the lower right D button for about two seconds. The watch will beep to indicate that manual receive has started. Place it near a window, with its 12 o’clock position facing in the general direction of the transmitter.
How can I view the last reception date and time?
In the Timekeeping Mode, press the lower right D button. This will display the date and time that the time calibration signal was last received successfully. To return to the Timekeeping Mode, press the D button again. See “To view the last reception date and time” for more information.
Check the auto signal reception setting whenever you have problems with signal reception or when the time setting produced by signal reception is incorrect.
