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.
The watch's built-in sensors allow you to check field information such as altitude, direction, barometric pressure, and distance. You can also check the UV index, temperature, step count, and calories burned on the watch using the expanded sensor supplied.
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 the mode you want to measure, such as ALT (altitude) or BAR (barometric pressure). You can then start or stop measuring by simply pressing and releasing the C button.
For measurement items using the expanded sensor, change the mode hand to ACC (accessory). The rest of the operations are the same.
Mode hand

TR-MB8 User’s Guide
Before Use
For example, if you have been abroad or traveling.
Wear the watch on your arm, and place your key holder with the expanded sensor in your pocket.
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.
On your way to the hotel, you can easily check environmental data such as the altitude and current temperature for the city.
After dropping off your luggage at the hotel, you can go out and explore the city.
If you do not know your way around the city, check the direction in COM (direction) mode. The center hand points North while vibrating slightly like a real magnetic compass.
Hold down the B button for at least three seconds in COM mode to register the location of the hotel as the base point. If you get lost while out exploring, press the C button for at least three seconds. You can use the hands on the watch to check the direction and distance to the hotel (Waypoint feature).
And when you're safely back at the hotel, you can easily check today's steps and calories burned.

TR-MB8 User’s Guide
Before Use
Many people enjoy heading to the countryside on their holidays.
When you are planning such a trip, try attaching the expanded sensor to a backpack or your clothes, and then wear the watch when you go out. If necessary, you can check the altitude, pressure, direction, UV index (strength of UV rays), or temperature with two actions at anytime. The ability to check the measurements for a variety of 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.

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.
24
TR-MB8 User’s Guide
Before Use
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.

2. Remove the protective film

Remove the protective film stuck to the rear case of the watch.
If you use the watch with the film attached, it may cause dirt, sweat, trash, moisture, and so on to stick to the watch causing rust to occur.
3. Release In-flight mode
The watch is shipped in In-flight mode ( ) in accordance with aviation law.
If the watch is set to In-flight mode when you purchase it, make sure you release the mode before use.
U “Setting In-flight mode” on page 44
When In-flight mode is released, the indicator hand shows the remaining battery level.
Note:
When In-flight mode is on, signals from GPS satellites are not received, and communication with accessory and sensor functions (altitude, compass, barometer) do not operate.
