functions of this watch.
Power Saving Function
When turned on, the Power Saving function automatically
enters a sleep state whenever the watch is left in an area
where lighting is dim (less than about 30 lux).
The following shows how watch functions are affected
when left in a dark place while in the sleep state.
Power Saving

Auto Return Features
•
If you leave the watch in the Alarm or Hand Setting Mode, or with the Battery Level
Indicator (
HI
or
MID
) displayed for two or three minutes without performing any
operation, it automatically returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
•
If you leave the watch with a flashing setting on the display for two or three minutes
without performing any operation, the watch automatically exits the setting screen.
Scrolling
The
B
and
D
buttons are used in various modes and setting screens to scroll
through data on the display. In most cases, holding down these buttons during a scroll
operation scrolls through the data at high speed.
Initial Screens
When you enter the World Time or Alarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
Radio-controlled Timekeeping Precautions
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception will be impossible if the signal is blocked by mountains or other geological
formations between the watch and signal source.
•
Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric conditions, and seasonal
changes.
•
The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors
as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as movement of the
ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal atmospheric changes or the time of
day may change the reception range of the signal and make reception temporarily
impossible.
•
Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions can cause
the time setting to be off by up to one second.
•
The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes priority
over any time settings you make manually.
•
The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the
period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.
•
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
•
Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds)
and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can limit reception to time
data only.
•
Normally, the signal reception date shown by the last signal screen is the date data
included in the received time calibration signal. When only time data is received,
however, the last signal screen shows the date as kept in the Timekeeping Mode at
the time of signal reception.
•
If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is impossible, the
watch keeps time within
±
20 seconds a month at normal temperature.
•
If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the time
setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code, DST (summer
time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults for these
settings.

Timekeeping
•
Resetting the seconds to
00
while 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 day of the week is automatically displayed in accordance with the date (year,
month, and day) settings.
•
The year can be set in the range of 2000 to 2099.
•
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different month
lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no reason to change
it except after you have the watch’s battery replaced or when battery level drops to
Level 4.
•
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode is
calculated in accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each
city, based on your Home City time setting.
•
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC*) data.
* UTC is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefully
maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to within microseconds. Leap
seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.
The reference point for UTC is Greenwich, England.
12-hour/24-hour Timekeeping Formats
The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping Mode is also
applied in all other modes.
•
With the 12-hour format, the
P
(PM) indicator appears on the display for times in the
range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears for times in the range of
midnight to 11:59 a.m.
•
With the 24-hour format, times are displayed in the range of 0:00 to 23:59, without
any indicator.
Illumination Precautions
•
The illumination provided by the light may be hard to see when viewed under direct
sunlight.
•
Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination shortens the battery operating time.
