Analog Timekeeping
The analog time of this watch is synchronized with the digital time. The analog time
setting is adjusted automatically whenever you change the digital time.
Note
•
The hands for the analog timepiece move to adjust to a new setting whenever any
of the following occurs.
When you change the digital time setting manually
When the digital time setting is changed by time calibration signal reception
When you change the Home City code and/or DST setting
•
If the analog time does not match the digital time for any reason, use the procedure
described under “To adjust the analog time” to match the analog setting to the
digital setting.
•
Whenever you need to adjust both the digital and the analog time settings
manually, make sure you adjust the digital setting first.

This section contains more detailed and technical information about watch operation.
It also contains important precautions and notes about the various features and
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
indicator
The sleep state is indicated by a blank screen with the Power Saving indicator (
PS
)
flashing on it.
•
Wearing the watch inside the sleeve of clothing can cause it to enter the sleep state.
Approximate Period
in sleep state
3 to 4 days
8 days or more

On/Off status
•
The second hand will advance at high speed to the correct position in accordance
with the digital time seconds count, and resume normal movement from there.
•
The Power Saving indicator (
PS
) is on the display in all modes while the Power
Saving is turned on.
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 Atomic Timekeeping Precautions
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
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 ±15 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 transmitter, current city code, DST
(summer time), and auto receive settings. The following are the initial factory defaults
for these settings.
Setting
Transmitter
City code
DST (summer time)
Auto receive
Initial Factory Default
AT
LON
(London) (Module 3353)
BER
(Berlin)
(Module 3354/5053)
(Auto switching)
(Auto receive)
In this case:
The first signal auto search operation
after factory default settings are in effect,
or after the city code has been changed
Any case other than the above.
The watch does this:
1. Checks the Anthorn signal first.
2. If the Anthorn signal cannot be received,
checks the Mainflingen signal.
1. Checks the last successfully received
signal first.
2. If the last successfully received signal
cannot be received, checks the other
signal.
Transmitters
This watch is designed to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from Anthorn,
England and the signal from Mainflingen, Germany. You can select either one of the
transmitters, or you can configure the watch to automatically select the transmitter that
has the strongest signal.
•
The following explains how the watch determines which transmitter it should check
first while the watch is configured for auto transmitter search (
AT
).
Module 3353
In this case:
The first signal auto search operation
after factory default settings are in effect,
or after the city code has been changed
Any case other than the above.
The watch does this:
1. Checks the Mainflingen signal first.
2. If the Mainflingen signal cannot be
received, checks the Anthorn signal.
1. Checks the last successfully received
signal first.
2. If the last successfully received signal
cannot be received, checks the other
signal.
Module 3354/5053
•
Since the watch checks signals from both transmitters when
AT
is selected as the
transmitter setting, signal reception can take as long as 14 minutes.
•
To find out the module number of your watch, look at its
back cover. The Module number (3353, 3354, or 5053) is
engraved inside the box on the back cover.
3353
3354
5053
To recover from the sleep state
Perform any one of the following operations.
•
Move the watch to a well-lit area.
•
Press any button.
