Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the “TRUME".
Make sure you read the manual supplied to use this product correctly.
This product is not intended for taking measurements that requires professional precision. Measurement
function readings are intended for general reference only.
This product can identify the current time zone by receiving GPS satellite signals and adjust it to the correct local time.
Also, the Automatic Time Reception feature is constantly automatically correcting the time.
*However, you need to set Daylight Saving Time (DST) manually.
You can check which direction is north using the magnetic sensor built into the watch.
The watch continues to operate when it is charged by light. This watch is an environmentally friendly product that
generates electricity through natural resources and does not require regular battery replacement.
The following provides a quick introduction on using this product.
To select the item you want to measure, press and release the A button to move the mode hand to ALT (altitude) or
BAR (barometric pressure). You can then start or stop measuring by simply pressing the C button.

Before Use
For example, if you have been traveling abroad.
The watch has a built-in GPS satellite signal reception system called "SATELLITELINK" that receives a GPS signal by
one action and automatically enters the current time zone when you leave the airport at your destination.
Many people enjoy heading to the countryside on their holidays.
When you are planning such a trip, wear the watch when you go out. You can check the altitude or pressure at the
current location with two actions at anytime. The ability to check the measurements for a built-in sensors by simply
glancing at the hands of your watch allows you to feel closer to nature.
We hope you will make use of this product in a wide variety of scenarios.

Features of the Product
Adjusting the time by receiving signals from GPS satellites (SATELLITELINK)
Your watch can automatically adjust to the correct time by receiving signals from GPS satellites.
However, you need to set Daylight Saving Time (DST) manually.
U “Adjusting the time by receiving signals from GPS satellites” on page 15
Light charging feature (LIGHT CHARGE)
You can charge the watch by exposing the dial to sunlight or fluorescent light.
As it can take some time to recharge the battery after it runs out, we recommend exposing the dial to light as often as
possible.

Information on the Watch’s Mechanics
Adjusting the time by receiving signals from GPS satellites
GPS satellites are equipped with high-precision atomic clocks with a margin of error of one second every 100,000
years. Signals sent from the GPS satellite to earth contain "time information" based on the atomic clock.
With the touch of a button, this product receives signals from the GPS satellite and adjusts the time according to the
following information.
❏ Received from one satellite:
Exact time and date based on the atomic clock
❏ Received from multiple satellites (at least four):
Time zone information for your current location
*Unlike navigation devices, this product is not designed to constantly receive GPS satellite signals.

Note:
About GPS satellites
The satellites are controlled by the United States Department of Defense and orbit at an altitude of 20,000 km.
Originally, these satellites were designed for military purposes, but now some of the information they send is for consumer
use and is used in a variety of devices such as car navigation systems and smart phones.
Supports the Quasi-Zenith Satellite System
This product supports the first Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS).
The QZSS is a system of satellites that passes directly over Japan and sends positioning signals that are very similar to current
GPS signals. This allows signals to be sent to wider areas of Japan that were previously trouble spots, such as mountainous
regions, or areas with a high density of skyscrapers.
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) and time zones
UTC is a universal, standardized time set by international accord. This is used as the official time when time is recorded
around the world.
Around the world, countries and regions use common standard times based on Coordinated universal time (UTC).
Standard times are determined by specific countries and regions, and a region that uses the same standard time is
called a time zone.
* The time zone for each region may change depending on the circumstances of the country or region.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (DST) is a system that advances standard time by one hour (or another specific time) during
long periods of daylight, normally during summer. Also known as summer time.
This system is used in approximately 80 countries around the world, mainly in Europe and the United States, in
countries at a high latitude and long daylight hours in the summer.
* The way DST is implemented may change depending on the circumstances of the country or region. Also, the period during which
this is applied varies by country/region.

Leap seconds
Coordinated universal time is adjusted based on universal time (UT) and international atomic time (TAI). The time
(seconds) used for this adjustment is called leap seconds.
