REFERENCE
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.
Auto Return Features
•
If you leave a screen with flashing digits or a cursor on the display for two or three
minutes without performing any operation, the watch automatically saves anything
you have input up to that point and exits the setting screen.
•
If you leave the watch in any mode (except for the Stopwatch Mode) for about two
minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the
Timekeeping Mode.
•
After you perform an operation (except for the backlight operation) in any mode,
pressing
C
returns to the Timekeeping Mode.
Time Calibration Signal Reception Precautions
•
This watch is able to receive the time calibration signal
transmitted from Mainflingen, Germany (located 25
kilometers southeast of Frankfurt). Signal reception is
possible within the area represented by a circle with a
radius of about 1000 kilometers.
•
Even when the watch is within the reception range,
signal reception is impossible if the signal is blocked by
mountains or other geological formations between the
watch and signal source.
•
Signal reception may be poor in the shaded area on the
map, even though it is within 1,000 kilometers of the
signal transmitter.
•
Signal reception is affected by weather, atmospheric
conditions, and seasonal changes.
•
At long distances that are out of the line of sight of the signal transmitter, the signal
is bounced off of 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.
•
This watch is designed to receive the signal transmitted from Mainflingen. This
means that reception is best when the antenna built into the 12 o’clock edge of the
watch is facing towards Mainflingen. Note, however, that moving the watch while the
time calibration signal receive operation is taking place will make stable reception
impossible.
•
Think of the watch as acting like a TV or radio when it is receiving the calibration
signal. When receiving indoors, move to a location as near as possible to a window.
Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions
listed below.
Near TVs, refrigerators, computers, or other household appliances
Far away from broadcasting stations among ferro-concrete structures or near
mountains
Underground, in tunnels or in ferro-concrete buildings
Near high-tension wires, neon signs, or radio stations with interfering frequencies
Near railroads, highways or airports
In trains or cars
•
Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
The daily alarm and hourly time signal do not operate during 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.
Timekeeping
•
Note that you cannot switch between standard time and Daylight Saving Time while
GMT
is selected as the city code.
•
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 2039.
•
The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar automatically 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.
•
The current time for all city codes in the Timekeeping Mode is calculated in
accordance with the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) differential for each city, based
on the your Home City time setting.
•
GMT differential is calculated by this watch based on Universal Time Coordinated
(UTC) data.
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 to the left of the hour digits for
times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and the no indicator appears to the left of
the hour digits 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, with
24
indicator.

Backlight Precautions
•
The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after very long
use.
•
The illumination provided by the backlight may be hard to see when viewed under
direct sunlight.
•
The watch may emit an audible sound whenever the display is illuminated. This is
due to vibration of the EL panel used for illumination, and does not indicate
malfunction.
•
The backlight automatically turns off whenever an alarm sounds.
•
Frequent use of the backlight shortens the battery life.
