Module 3726
•
Since the watch checks signals from both transmitters when
A
vtA
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 (3725 or 3726) is
engraved inside the box on the back cover.

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 Rugby signal first.
2. If the Rugby 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.
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 batteries replaced or when battery power 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 PM indicator (
) appears on the bottom dial 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
•
Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.
•
Illumination automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of illumination runs down the batteries.
Auto light switch precautions
•
The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is at Level
3.
•
Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or vibration of
your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch and illumination of the
digital display areas. To avoid running down the batteries, turn off the auto light
switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause frequent illumination.
•
Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is turned
on can cause frequent illumination of the digital display areas and can run down the
batteries.
•
Illumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is
more than 15 degrees above or below parallel. Make
sure that the back of your hand is parallel to the ground.
•
Illumination turns off after the preset illumination
duration (see “To set the current digital time and date
manually”), even if you keep the watch pointed towards
your face.
•
Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with
proper operation of the auto light switch. If illumination
does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the
starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it
back towards you again. If this does not work, drop your
arm all the way down so it hangs at your side, and then
bring it back up again.
•
Under certain conditions, illumination may not turn on until about one second after
you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessarily indicate
malfunction of the auto light switch.
•
You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken
back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of the auto light
switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

Transmitters
This watch is designed to receive the time calibration signal transmitted from Rugby,
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 (
A
vtA
).
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 Rugby signal.
1. Checks the last successfully received
signal first.
2. If the last successfully received signal
cannot be received, checks the other
signal.
