Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar panel that generates power from light. The generated power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not wearing the watch, be sure to leave it in a location where it is exposed to light.
Best charging
x
performance is achieved by exposing the watch to light that is as strong as possible.
When wearing the watch, makes sure that its face is not blocked from light by the sleeve of your clothing.
The watch may enter a
x
sleep state (page E-15) if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

Important!
x
Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down. Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in x such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.

Power Recovery Mode
The watch is designed to go into a power recovery mode that stops hand operation temporarily whenever power suddenly drops below a certain level due to overuse of the alarm tone over a short period. Note that all operations are disabled while the watch is in the power recovery mode. The hands will move to the correct positions and the watch will resume normal operation after power recovers (in about 15 minutes). Putting the watch in a location where it is exposed to light will help power to recover sooner.
Power Saving
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The table below shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving.
There actually are two sleep state levels: “second hand sleep” and “function sleep”.

The areas covered by from the calibration signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems. When
x HNL (HONOLULU) or HKG (HONG KONG) is selected as the Home City,
only the time and date are adjusted according to the time calibration signal. You need to switch manually between standard time and daylight saving time (DST) if required. See “To toggle the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” (page E-35) for information about how to do this.
E-18
Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly. However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals, you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Confi guring Current Time and Date Settings Manually” (page E-37) for more information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city code selected as the Home City is in Japan, North America, Europe, or China, and is one that supports time calibration signal reception.
If your Home City Code setting is this:
LON (LONDON), PAR (PARIS), ATH (ATHENS) Anthorn (England), Mainfl ingen (Germany)
HKG (HONG KONG) Shangqiu City (China)
TYO (TOKYO) Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)

Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be x impossible due to the effects of geographic contours, structures, weather, the time of year, the time of day, radio interference, etc. The signal becomes weaker at distances of approximately 500 kilometers, which means that the infl uence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater. Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain
x
times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.

With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day automatically up to six times (up to fi ve times for the Chinese calibration signal) between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timekeeping Mode time). When any receive operation is successful, none of the other receive operations for that day are performed. When a calibration time is reached, the watch will perform the receive operation
x
only if it is in the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. The receive operation is not performed if a calibration time is reached while you are confi guring settings.

Auto Correction of Hand Home Positions
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or day setting to be off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. Auto correction of hand home positions correct the hand position automatically.
Auto correction is performed in the Timekeeping Mode only.
x
Auto correction corrects the positions of the x Second Hand. For the dial hands and day, you must perform the manual adjustment procedure under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually” (page E-58). Each hour, the watch performs automatic correction of the hand positions from –55

Adjusting the Home Positions Manually
Strong magnetism or impact can cause the hands and/or date of the watch to be off, even if the watch is able to perform the signal receive operation. If this happens, perform the applicable home position adjustment procedures in this section.
Hand home position adjustment is not required if the time and day settings are
x
correct. You also can use auto correction of the hand home positions (page E-55) to correct x the home positions of the z Hour Hand, c Minute Hand, and x Second Hand.
Note
Any time after you enter the home position adjustment mode in step 1 of the following procedure, you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing A. The watch also will return to the Timekeeping Mode automatically if you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in home position adjustment mode. In either case, any adjustments you made before the watch returned to the Timekeeping Mode will be applied.
E-58
If you release x D when the x Second Hand stops the fi rst time (after about three seconds) in the above operation, the watch will enter the home position adjustment mode, which is described under “Adjusting the Home Positions Manually” (page E-58). If this happens, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode and then perform the above operation again. Manually triggered auto correction of hand home positions performs the following
x
two steps.
The hands will move automatically in order to determine the home positions of the 1. watch.
After the hand home positions are determined, the watch will return to normal 2. timekeeping automatically. This completes the correction operation.
To adjust the home positions
Hold down 1. C for about two seconds until the watch beeps twice and enters the Timekeeping Mode.
Hold down 2. D for about three seconds until the watch beeps.

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see “To confi gure Home City settings” (page E-33). If you are using in the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is not possible, you may need to change your Home City’s STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting manually. Use the procedure under “To toggle the Home City time between standard time and daylight saving time” (page E-35) to change the STD/DST setting.
The hands and/or day indications are off.
This could indicate that the watch has been exposed to magnetism or strong impact, which has caused problems with proper hand and day alignment. Adjust the watch’s hand and day home position alignment (page E-55).

Time Calibration Signal
The information in this section applies only when LON (LONDON), PAR (PARIS), ATH (ATHENS), HNL (HONOLULU), ANC (ANCHORAGE), LAX (LOS ANGELES), DEN (DENVER), CHI (CHICAGO), NYC (NEW YORK), HKG (HONG KONG), or TYO
(TOKYO) is selected as the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.
The current time setting changes after I set it manually.
You may have the watch confi gured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal (page E-24), which will cause the time to be adjusted automatically according to your currently selected Home City. If this results in the wrong time setting, check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary (page E-33).
The current time setting is off by one hour.
Possible Cause Remedy Page
Signal reception on a day for switching between STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) may have failed for some reason.
Perform the operation under “To get ready for a receive operation”. The time setting will be adjusted automatically as soon as signal reception is successful.
If you are unable to receive the time calibration signal, change the STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting manually.
