shows

the

direction

of

transmission (see illustration).

The

data

in A is to

be

transferred

to B.

Make

sure

to

connect correctly

to

avoid

mistransmission

which

may

cause

Notes

on

Data Transfer

with a personal computer

* Be

sure

that transfer

is

carried

out

correctly.

If

not, previous data

in the

reception

RC-

4000/4400

may be

erased

or the

reception

RC-4000/4400

may be all

cleared.

Precautions

for

Data Transmission

Mode

(1)

Before starting data transmission, make sure

that

all the

connections

are

correctly made.

(21

During

data transmission, avoid

touching

the

buttons

or

cables

which

may

cause a mis-

transmission

or.

erase

data.

(3)

There

are two

transfer

speeds — High (H),

which

transfers

the

information

in

10

seconds,

and Low (L)

with a transfer speed

of 80

seconds.

One

push

of

button

A in the

Time

Display

Mode

will

change

the

display

to

"DATA

IN

(H)";

one

more

push changes

it to

"DATA

IN

(L)".

Both

the

reception

and

transmission

should

be set at the

same speed.

©,

DflTfl

IN (L)

Data input

erases

previous data

As

soon

as

data transfer starts,

the

previous data

is

erased

as the new

data

is

input.

Also,

if

data transfer fails, previous data

is

erased.

If

display reverts

to the

Time

Display Mode

while

in

"DATA

IN

(H)"

mode,

data

will

not be

erased.

*

Before switching

to

"DATA

OUT

(H)"

mode,

make

sure

that

all the

necessary

connections

have

been

completed.

* All the

data

will

be

Take Proper Care

of

Your

RC-4000/4400

1)

Water/Perspiration

Your

RC-4400

is not

water

resistant;

care

should

be

taken

not to

expose

it to

water

or

heavy

perspiration.

If it

becomes

wet

wipe

it

completely

with

a dry

cloth.

Do not

operate

any of the

buttons when

the

watch

is

wet.

The

crystal

may

become fogged

if the

outside temperature

is

lower than that inside

the

RC-4000/4400. A temporary fogging will

not

cause a malfunction,

but if it

does

not

clear,

consult your

dealer.

2)

Temperature

Your

RC-4000/4400

is

preadjusted

to

function accurately when worn

on the

wrist

at a

normal temperature

range

(14°F

to

140°F

or

-10°C

to

+60°C).

Extremely

high

temperatures

Care

should

be

taken

not to

expose

your watch

to

high temperatures

(over

140°F

or

60°

C).

Keep

it

away

from

direct sunlight

or hot

locations.

If

left

in

excessive

heat:

•The

digital display

may

become black,

but

this

condition

will

disappear

without

after-

effects

when

the

temperature returns

to

normal.

* The

battery life

may be

shortened,

and the

battery

may

suffer electrolyte

leakage.

Extremely

low

temperatures

The

watch

will

work accurately

down

to 14° F

(-10°C),

but do not

leave

it in a

cold place.

If

exposed

to

excessive

cold

for a

long time:

28

* A

small

amount

of

time

loss/gain

may

occur.

" The

display

may

change

more slowly.

The

watch

will,

however, return

to

normal when

the

temperature

rises.

3)

Shocks

Be

careful

not to

drop

the

RC-4000/4400

or

slam

it

against a hard

surface.

4)

Battery

Your

RC-4000/4400

uses

one

SB-T12

(BR2325)

lithium

battery.

A new

battery

will

serve

for

about

two

years.

This two-year battery lifetime

is

calculated

on the

basis

of the

following conditions. *

Button operations — maximum

of 20

times

a day

*

Use of

alarm — maximum

of 3

times a day, beeping

for 20

seconds

Note:

Letting

the

battery

run

down

or

replacing

the

battery

will

destroy

all

data

stored

in the

RC-4000/4400.

The

RC-4000/4400

is not

equipped with a run-down

battery

warning

(BLD) capability.

For

replacing

battery,

consult

your

dealer.

29

5)

For

your

convenience

* To

adjust

the

wrist

band,

ask

your

dealer.

*

RC-4400

can

have a plaque

on its

back

for an

engraving (e.g.,

your

initials).
