3 Note When a caibration time is reached, the watch wi receive the caibration signa ony if it is in either the Timekeeping Mode or Word Time Mode. Reception is not performed if a caibration time is reached whie you are configuring settings. Auto receive of the caibration signa is designed to be performed eary in the morning, whie you seep (provided that the Timekeeping Mode time is set correcty). Before going to bed for the night, remove the watch from your wrist, and put it in a ocation where it can receive the signa easiy. The watch receives the caibration signa for two to seven minutes everyday when the time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches a caibration time. o not perform any button operation within seven minutes before or after the caibration times. oing so can interfere with correct caibration. Remember that reception of the caibration signa depends on the current time in the Timekeeping Mode. The receive operation wi be performed whenever the dispay shows any one of the caibration times, regardess of whether or not the dispayed time actuay is the correct time. About the Signa Strength Indicator The signa strength indicator shows the strength of the caibration signa being received. For best reception, be sure to keep the watch in a ocation where signa strength is strongest. The signa strength indicator is dispayed whie an auto or manua receive operation is in progress. Signa strength indicator Weak (Leve 1) Strong (Leve 3) Even in an area where signa strength is strong, it takes about 10 seconds for signa reception to stabiize enough for the signa strength indicator to indicate signa strength. Use the signa strength indicator as a guide for checking signa strength and for finding the best ocation for the watch during signa receive operations. Foowing reception of the time caibration signa and caibration of the watch s time setting, the Leve 3 signa strength indicator wi remain on the dispay in a modes. The Leve 3 signa strength indicator wi not be dispayed if signa reception was unsuccessfu or after you adjust the current time setting manuay.

Radio-controed Atomic Timekeeping Precautions Strong eectrostatic charge can resut in the wrong time being set. The time caibration signa bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the refectivity of the ionosphere, as we as movement of the ionosphere to higher atitudes due to seasona atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signa and make reception temporariy impossibe. Even if the time caibration signa is received propery, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. The current time setting in accordance with the time caibration signa takes priority over any time settings you make manuay. The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automaticay for the period January 1, 2000 to ecember 31, Setting of the date by the time caibration signa cannot be performed starting from January 1, This watch can receive signas that differentiate between eap years and non-eap years. Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signa conditions can imit reception to time data ony. If you are in an area where proper time caibration signa reception is impossibe, the watch keeps time within ±15 seconds a month at norma temperature. If you have probems with proper time caibration signa reception or if the time setting is wrong after signa reception, check your current city code, ST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The Home ity setting reverts to the initia defaut of TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery power eve drops to Leve 5 or when you have the rechargeabe battery repaced. If this happens, change the Home ity to the setting you want. Transmitters The time caibration signa received by this watch depends on the currenty seected Home ity code. When a U.S. time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signa transmitted from the United States (Fort oins). When a Japanese time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signa transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga). When a European time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signas transmitted from Germany (Mainfingen) and Engand (Anthorn). When a hina time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signas transmitted from hina (Shangqiu ity). When your Home ity is LIS, LON, MA, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW (which can receive both the Anthorn and Mainfingen signas), the watch first tries to pick up the signa it ast successfuy received. If that fais, it tries the other signa. For the first receive after you seect your Home ity, the watch tries the nearest signa first (Anthorn for LIS, LON, Mainfingen for MA, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, and MOW). Auto Return Features If you eave a screen with fashing digits on the dispay for two or three minutes without performing any operation, the watch exits the setting screen automaticay. Scroing The B and buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scro through data on the dispay. In most cases, hoding down these buttons during a scro operation scros at high speed. Initia Screens When you enter the Ray Mode, Reca Mode, Word Time Mode, or Aarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you ast exited the mode appears first. Timekeeping Resetting the seconds to 00 whie the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes. The year can be set in the range of 2000 to The watch s buit-in fu automatic caendar makes aowances for different month engths and eap years. Once you set the date, there shoud be no reason to change it except after you have the watch s battery repaced. The current time for a city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and Word Time Mode is cacuated in accordance with the oordinated Universa Time (UT) for each city, based on your Home ity time setting. Word Time The seconds count of the Word Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode. Iumination Precautions The eectro-uminescent pane that provides iumination oses power after very ong use. Iumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunight. The watch may emit an audibe sound whenever the dispay is iuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL pane used for iumination, and does not indicate mafunction. Iumination turns off automaticay whenever an aarm sounds. Frequent use of iumination runs down the battery. 9
