Important!

Proper time calibration signal reception and World Time settings depend on correct Homo City, time, and date settings in the Timekeeping Mode. Make sure you configure these settings correctly.

3. Set the current time.

To set the time using a time calibration signal

See "To get ready for a receive operation"

To set the time manually

See "Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Manually"

The watch is now ready for use.

- For details about the watch's radio controlled timekeeping feature, see "Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping".

Charging the Watch

The face of the watch is a solar cell 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

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 • sleep state if its face is blocked by your sleeve even only partially.

Warning!

Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot. Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.

On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight

Too close to an incandescent lamp • Under direct sunlight •

Important!

• 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 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 Levels

Jumps every two seconds.
You can get an idea of the watch's power level by observing the movement of the ② Second Hand in the Timekeeping Mode.
If the 2 Second Hand is moving normally in one-second steps, power is at Level 1.
W the ② Second Hand is jumping at two-second steps, power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

Level	Hand Movement	Function Status
1	Normal.	All functions enabled.
2	3Second hand jumps in 2-second steps.6Day changes to home position.	Beeper, time calibration signal reception, and countdown timer operation disabled.
3	2Second hand stopped.1Hour and 3Minute hands stopped at 12 o'clock.	All functions disabled.

- When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the correct setting and normal timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings (including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings to their initial factory defaults.

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.

Charging Times

Exposure Level (Brightness)	Daily Operation *1	Level Change '2
		Level 3	Level 2	Level 1
Outdoor sunlight (50,000 lux)	8 min.	2 hours		23 hours
Sunlight through a window (10,000 lux)	30 min.	6 hours		65 hours
Daylight through a window on a cloudy day (5,000 lux)	48 min.	8 hours		138 hours
Indoor fluorescent lighting (500 lux)	8 hours	92 hours

* 1 Approximate amount exposure time required each day to generate enough power for normal daily operation.

* 2 Approximate amount exposure time required to take power from one level to the next.

- The above exposure times all are for reference only. Actual exposure times depend on lighting conditions.

- For details about the operating time and daily operating conditions, see the "Power Supply" section of the Specifications.

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".

Elapsed Time in Dark	Operation
80 to 70 minutes (second hand sleep)	2 Second hand only is stopped at 12 o'clock, all other functions are enabled.
8 or 7 days (function sleep)	• All functions, including analog timekeeping, disabled• Internal timekeeping maintained.

- The watch will not enter a sleep state between 6:00 AM and 9:59 PM. If the watch is already in a sleep state when 6:00 AM arrives, however, it will remain in the sleep state.

- The watch will not enter a sleep state while it is in the Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer Mode.

To recover from the sleep state

Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.

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 "Configuring Current Time and Date Settings Manually" 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:	The watch can receive the signal from the transmitter located here:
LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATHI)	Anthorn (England), Mairfingen (Germany)
HONG KONG (HKG), Shangqiu City (China)
TOKYO (TYO) Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI), NEW YORK (NYC)	Fort Collins, Colorado (United States)

Important!

• The areas covered by HONOLULU (HNL) and ANCHORAGE (ANC) are quite far from the calibration signal transmitters, so certain conditions may cause reception problems.
• When HONOLULU (HNL) or HONG KONG (HKG) 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" for information about how to do this.

Approximate Reception Ranges

UK and German Signals Anthorn 500 kilometers 1,500 kilometers Mainlingen The Anthem signal is receivable within this area.

North American Signal 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers) 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) Fort Collins

Japanese Signal Fukushima 500 kilometers Fukucka/Saga 1,000 kilometers

Chinese Signal 500 kilometers Changzhou Beijing Shanghai Shanghai Chongdu Hong Kong 1,500 kilometers

• Even when the watch is within range of a transmitter, signal reception may be 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 influence of the conditions listed above becomes even greater.
• Signal reception may not be possible at the distances noted below during certain times of the year or day. Radio interference may also cause problems with reception.
  Mainlingen (Germany) or Anthorn (England) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles)
  Fort Collins (United States) transmitter: 600 miles (1,000 kilometers) Fukushima or Fukuoka/Saga (Japan) transmitters: 500 kilometers (310 miles) Shangqiu (China) transmitter: 500 kilometers (310 miles)
• As of January 2008, China does not use Daylight Saving Time (DST). If China does go to the Daylight Saving Time system in the future, some functions of this watch may no longer operate correctly.

To get ready for a receive operation

Confirm that the watch is in the Timekeeping Mode. If it isn't, hold down 1. © for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode.

Place the watch in a location where signal n

12 o'clock or

ception is good.2

Position the watch as shown in the nearby illustration, with 12 o'clock pointed towards a window. Make sure there are no metal objects nearby.

Signal reception normally is better at night.

The receive operation takes from two to seven minutes, but in some cases it can take as long as 14 minutes. Take care that you do not perform any button operation or move the watch during this time.

- Signal reception may be difficult or even impossible under the conditions described below.

Inside or among buildings

Inside a vehicle

Near household appliances, office equipment, or a mobile phone

Near a construction site, airport or other sources of electrical noise

Near high-tension power lines

Among or behind mountains
3. What you should do next depends on whether you are using Auto Receive or Manual Receive.
- Auto Receive: Leave the watch over night in the location you selected in step 2. See "Auto Receive" for details.
- Manual Receive: Perform the operation under "To perform manual receive".

Auto Receive

- With Auto Receive, the watch performs the receive operation each day automatically up to six times (up to five times for the Chinese calibration signal) between the hours of midnight and 5 a.m. (according to the Timkeeping 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 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 configuring settings.

To perform manual receive

1. In the Timekeeping Mode, keep Ⓐ depressed (for about two seconds) as the ② Second Hand goes through the following sequence.
2. Moves to the last signal reception result (Y or N), then to READY (or R for some models).
   The 2. Second Hand indicates the operations the watch is currently performing.
   

When the 1stSecond Hand is pointed here:	It means this:
READY (F)	Watch is setting up for reception.
WORK (W)	Reception is in progress.
YES (Y)	Reception was completed successfully.
NO (N)	Reception failed for some reason.

- If signal reception is unstable, the ② Second Hand may move between WORK and READY.

1. The receive operation is complete when the Second Hand moves to YES (Y) or NO (N) for about five seconds, and then resumes normal timekeeping.
2. When the receive operation is successful, the watch adjusts the time setting accordingly. It does not adjust the setting if the operation failed.

Note

• To interrupt a receive operation and return to the Timekeeping Mode, press any button.

If the 2 Second Hand is pointing to YES (Y) or NO (N), you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing (A)

To check the result of the latest receive operation In the Timekeeping Mode, press Ⓐ.

The Second Hand will move to YES (Y) for five seconds if the latest receive operation was successful, or NO (N) if it was not. After that, normal timekeeping will resume.

Note

The 2 Second Hand will indicate NO (N) if you have adjusted the time or date selling manually since the latest receive operation.

The Second Hand is pointing to YES (Y) or NO (N), you can return to the Timekeeping Mode by pressing Ⓐ.

Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

• Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time selling.
• Even if a receive operation is successful, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.
• The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2009. Updating of the date by signal reception will no longer be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
• If you are in an area where signal reception is not possible, the watch keeps time with the precision noted in "Specifications".
  • The receive operation is disabled under any of the following conditions.
• White power is at Level 2 or lower
• While the watch is in the power recovery mode
• When the watch is in the function sleep state (power saving)
• While a countdown time operation is in progress
• A receive operation is cancelled if an alarm sounds while it is being performed.

1. Hold down (A) for about two seconds until the watch beeps. This will cause the [4] Left Dial Hand to toggle between DST (daylight saving time) and STD (standard time).

2. Note that you cannot switch between STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) while UTC is selected as the World Time City.

3. Note that the STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting affects only the currently selected lime zone. Other lime zones are not affected.

Swapping your Home City and World Time City

You can use the procedure below to swap your Home City and World Time City. This capability can come in handy when you frequently travel between two locations in different time zones.

The following example shows what happens when the Home City and World Time City are swapped while the Home City originally is TOKYO (TYO) and the World Time City is NEW YORK (NYC).

	Homo City	World Time City
Before swapping	TOKYO (TYO)	NEW YORK (NYC)
After swapping	NEW YORK (NYC)	TOKYO (TYO)

To swap your Home City and World Time City

In the World Time Mode, use 1. Ⓓ to select the World Time City you want.

In this example, you would move the Second Hand to NEW YORK (NYC) in order to select New York as the World Time City.

Wait until the Right Dial Hands complete their move to the time in the currently selected World Time City. You will not be able to perform step 2 of this procedure until the hands stop moving.

Hold down 2. Ⓑ for about three seconds until the watch beeps.

- This will make the World Time City (NEW YORK (NYC) in this example) your new Home City. At the same time, it will change the Home City you had selected prior to step 2 (TOKYO (TYO) in this example), your World Time City.

After swapping the Home City and World Time City, • the watch will stay in the World Time Mode. The Second Hand will point to your new World Time City (TOKYO (TYO) in this example).

The Right Dial Hands will indicate the current time in your new World Time City.

Note

- If your current World Time City supports time calibration signal reception, making it your Home City enables calibration signal reception for that city.

First is ② Second Hand home position adjustment. If the ② Second Hand moves to 12 o'clock, it is in the correct home position. If it doesn't, use Ⓓ to move it to 12 o'clock.

Each press of © in the home position adjustment mode will cycle through the adjustment settings as shown below.

1. After confirming that the 2 Second Hand is at the proper home position, press ©. This will switch to 1 Hour Hand and 3 Minute Hand home position adjustment.

- The 1 Hour Hand and 3 Minute Hand are at their proper home positions if they both move to 12 o'clock. The 5 Lower Dial Hand also will move along with 1 Hour Hand movement, and cannot be adjusted individually. If the hands are not positioned correctly, use ① (+) and ⑧ (−) to move them to their proper home positions.

1. After confirming that the 1 Hour Hand and 3 Minute Hand are in their correct home positions, press ©. This will switch to 8 Right Dial Hand home position adjustment.

The Right Dial Hands are at their proper home positions if they both move to 12 o'clock. If the hands are not positioned correctly, use Ⓓ (+) and Ⓔ (-) to move them to 12 o'clock.

1. After confirming that the Right Dial Hands are in the correct home position, press ©. This will advance to Left Dial Hand home position adjustment.

The Left Dial Hand is in the correct home position if it is pointing at 12 o'clock. If it isn't, use Ⓓ (+) and Ⓑ (−) to move it to 12 o'clock.

1. After confirming that the Left Dial Hand is in the correct home position, press ©. This will advance to day home position adjustment.

The ☑ Day is in the correct home position if it shows 1. If it doesn't use Ⓓ (+) and Ⓑ (−) to change the day to 1.

1. Press Ⓐ to return to the Timekeeping Mode.

The Day moves to the current day, and then the Hour Hand and the Minute Hand move to the current time. Wait until everything stops moving.

Troubleshooting

Hand Movement and Position

■ I lost track of what mode the watch is in.

Refer to "To select a mode". To return directly to the Timekeeping Mode from any other mode, hold down © for about two seconds.

■ The Second Hand is jumping in two-second steps.

All the watch's hands are stopped at 12 o'clock and none of the buttons work. Power may be low. Expose the watch to light until the Second Hand starts moving normally, at one-second steps.

■ The hands of the watch suddenly start moving at high speed, even when I do not perform any operation.

This could be due to any one of the following causes. In all cases, the hand movement does not indicate malfunction, and should stop shortly.

• The watch is recovering from a sleep state.

- The time setting is being adjusted following a successful auto-time calibration signal receive operation.

- The watch is returning to the Timekeeping Mode automatically from the Alarm Mode.

■ Hands suddenly stop moving. Button operation also is disabled.

The watch may be in the power recovery mode. Do not perform any operation until the hands return to their normal positions (in about 15 minutes). The hands should return to their correct positions when normal operation returns. To help power recover, leave the watch in a location where it is exposed to light.

■ The current time setting is off by hours.

Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

■ The current time setting is off by one hour.

If you are using the watch in an area where time calibration signal reception is possible, see "To configure Home City settings". 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" to change the STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) 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.

World Time Mode

■ The World Time indicated by the ⑥ Right Dial Hands in the World Time Mode is one hour off from the actual time in the selected time zone.

The STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting of the selected World Time City may be wrong. Select the correct STD (standard time)/DST (daylight saving time) setting.

■ The World Time Indicated by the 6 Right Dial Hands in the World Time Mode is off.

Your Home City setting may be wrong. Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.

Charging

■ The watch does not resume operation after I expose it to light.

This can happen after the power level drops to Level 3. Continue exposing the watch to light until the Second Hand starts moving normally (at one-second steps).

■ The ② Second Hand starts to move at one-second steps, but then suddenly returns to moving at two-second steps.

The watch probably is not sufficiently charged yet. Continue keeping it exposed to light.

Time Calibration Signal

The information in this section applies only when LONDON (LON), PARIS (PAR), ATHENS (ATH), HONOLULU (HNL), ANCHORAGE (ANC), LOS ANGELES (LAX), DENVER (DEN), CHICAGO (CHI), NEW YORK (NYC), HONG KONG (HKG), or TOKYO (TYO) is selected at the Home City. You need to adjust the current time manually when any other city is selected as the Home City.

■ The ☐ Second Hand indicates NO (N) when I check the result of the latest receive operation.

Possible Cause Remedy
You are wearing or moving this watch, or performing a button operation during the signal receive operation.The watch is in an area with poor reception conditions.	Keep the watch in an area where reception conditions are good while the signal receive operation is performed.
You are in an area where signal reception is not possible for some reason.	See "Approximate Reception Ranges".
The calibration signal is not being transmitted for some reason.	Check the website of the organization that maintains the time calibration signal in your area for information about its down times.Try again later.

■ The current time setting changes after I set it manually.

You may have the watch configured for Auto Receive of the time calibration signal, 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.

■ The current time setting is off by one hour.

Possible Cause Remedy
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.

■ Auto Receive is not performed or I cannot perform Manual Receive.

Possible Cause Remedy
The watch is in the Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer Mode.	Auto Receive is not performed while the watch is in the Stopwatch Mode or Countdown Timer Mode. Hold down © for about two seconds to enter the Timekeeping Mode.
Your Home City setting is wrong.	Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
A countdown timer operation is in progress.	Both Auto Receive and Manual Receive are impossible while a countdown is in progress. In the Countdown Timer Mode, stop the timer operation and then return to the Timekeeping Mode.
There is not enough power for signal reception.	Expose the watch to light to charge it.

■ Signal reception is being performed successfully, but the time and/or day is wrong.

Possible Cause Remedy
Your Home City setting is wrong.	Check your Home City setting and correct it, if necessary.
The watch may have 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.
