RADIO WAVE CONTROLLED WATCH

6

About this radio wave controlled watch
This watch receives calibration signal and automatically updates the 
time and date.

6

Transmitter
GERMANY

Signal code : DCF77
Location :

Mainflingen Germany (located 25 Km southeast of 
Frankfurt)

U.K

Signal code : MSF
Location :

Rugby city (located near from London)

U.S.A

Signal code : WWVB
Location :

FortCollins in Colorado (located 100Km north of 
Denver)

JAPAN

Signal code : JJY
Location :

Mt.Haganeyama (located 45Km southwest of 
Fukuoka)

The signal usually operates 24 hours of a day, but it may be 
temporarily interrupted for maintenance and lightning 
cuntermeasure.

Radio wave reception zone
This watch can receive radio waves within a radius of about 1,000km 
from the standard radio wave station. However, the coverage can 
vary depending on time, season, weather conditions, local 
environmental conditions, etc.

Which way to point the watch during reception

Flatten the wristband so it doesn't curl 
under the antenna.

* The indicated reception area is for your reference only. Sometimes you cannot receive radio waves 

even within the zone shown in the figure.

6

How to successfully receive radio waves

• It may be difficult to receive radio waves when metal shielding blocks the watch. When 

inside a ferroconcrete building etc., try to place the watch near a window that is as close 
as possible to facing the radio wave station.

• Try not to move the watch during radio wave reception.
• Good reception can be achieved if you aim the reception antenna (on the upper side of 

the watch) toward the radio wave station.

• You can check signal strength by looking at the reception mark that is displayed during 

radio wave reception. If you find a place and a direction to aim the watch in advance that 
has stable reception, that will help to get a good connection.

* The watch may fail to receive radio waves or may receive them inaccurately near (within 

10km from) the standard radio wave station. In this case, change the direction of the 
antenna by 45 - 90 degrees or receive radio waves again at a place far (10km or farther) 
from the standard wave station.

* Sometimes when the watch indicates strong radio wave reception, it still may not be able 

to receive a signal due to surrounding environmental interference such as electrical 
noise.

* The maximum time required to receive a complete signal can be up to 13 minutes. It may 

change depending on distance from the standard radio wave station, time, season, 
weather, etc.

6

Places where it may be difficult to receive radio waves

• Places with extremely high or low temperatures.
• Inside ferroconcrete buildings, underground, inside high-rise buildings, in valleys between 

mountains, etc.

• Inside vehicles, trains, and airplanes.
• Places that tend to have electrical noise such as near high voltage cables, electric train 

cables, and near airports.

• Near home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, computers, fax machines, 

inverter fluorescent lights, OA machines, and operating cellular phones.

* The watch operates using its built-in quartz accuracy under conditions of poor reception. 

When it returns to a reception area and receives radio waves, the watch displays the 
correct time. The watch operates using its built-in quartz accuracy between signal 
reception cycles.

AUTOMATIC RECEPTION

If you receive radio waves properly, the time and date are adjusted automatically.

• The watch automatically receives radio waves a maximum of two times a day.

• If one of the two reception attempts is successful, automatic reception won't be 

attempted again until the next day.
During the daylight saving time period, if the watch receives the radio waves normally, it 
automatically displays the SUM. If it receives the radio waves normally after the DST 
period, it automatically displays the ordinary time.

• Since the DST is automatically corrected, you do not need to correct it, as long as the 

watch receives radio waves. In a district where the DST is not applied, however, you are 
required to correct the DST manually.

8. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the display dims, replace the battery as soon as possible.After 
battery replacement, please make sure to short two pattern on module, 
and reset hands initial position refering to "7.CHECK AND RESET 
HANDS INITIAL POSITION".

7 . CHECK AND RESET HANDS INITIAL POSITION

It may happen that hands slip and change to incorrect position, because 
of hard shock, static electricity and after battery replacement and so 
on.In this case, we cannot adjust to correct time, even we receive the 
wave, because hands initial position is not correct.
Please check and reset hands initial position as following operation.
Correct hands initial position is "12H00M00S".
* Please don't do following operation, when you don't have any problem.

1) In the case of correct position("12H00M00S")

No need to reset hands initial position.

2) In the case of incorrect position( not "12H00M")

Need to reset and adjust hands initial position.
