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 the watch in the Alarm, Data Memory, or Hand Setting Mode for two or
three minutes without performing any operation, it automatically changes to the
Timekeeping Mode.
•
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.
Data and Setting Scrolling
The
A
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 Alarm or World Time Mode, the data you were viewing when you
last exited the mode appears first.
Time Calibration Signal Reception
•
This watch is designed to receive a time calibration signal originating from one of the
three transmitters listed below.
Location
Fort Collins, Colorado
Fukushima, Japan
Fukuoka/Saga, Japan
Frequency
60kHz
40kHz
60kHz
Call Sign
WWVB
JJY

•
When you select one of the city codes shown below as your Home City code, the
watch sets up automatically to receive from the applicable transmitter. Time
calibration signal reception is not possible whenever any other city code is specified
as the Home City code.
•
When you select
TYO
as your Home City code, the watch automatically selects
either the Fukushima signal (40kHz) or the Fukuoka/Saga signal (60kHz),
depending on which is stronger.
•
Note that when
TYO
(Japan) is selected as the Home City code, you can specify one
of two different time signal transmitters.

•
Signal reception is possible within a radius of about 2,000 miles (3,000 kilometers)
from the Fort Collins transmitter.
•
At distances further than about 500 kilometers from the Fukushima and Fukuoka/
Saga transmitter, the signal may become weak and reception may be impossible
under certain conditions.

General Precautions
•
The watch is designed to automatically update the date and day of the week for the
period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2039. Setting of the date by the time
calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2040.
•
This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and non-leap
years.
•
Even when the watch is within the reception range of the transmitter, signal
reception is 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 is bounced 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.
•
Reception is best when the antenna built into the 12 o'clock edge of the watch is
facing in the general direction of the signal transmitter. 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.
Place the watch near a window in a location where there are no nearby
metal objects.
•
Proper signal reception can be difficult or even impossible under the conditions
listed below.
Inside or
among
buildings
Inside a
vehicle
Near
household
appliances
or office
equipment
Near a
construction
site, airport, or
other sources of
electrical noise
Near high-
tension power
lines
Among or
behind
mountains
•
Do not move the watch or operate any of its buttons while signal reception is being
performed.
•
This watch automatically receives a time calibration signal in the middle of the night,
when reception is best.
•
Radio interference can make signal reception impossible.
•
Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.
•
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.
Troubleshooting
Check the following points whenever you experience problems with your watch.
Problem
Cannot perform
manual receive.
Auto receive is
turned on, but
the receive
indicator does
not appear on
the display.
Time setting is
incorrect
following signal
reception.
Probable Cause
The watch is not in the Timekeeping Mode.
•
You changed the time setting manually.
•
The watch was not in the Timekeeping
or World Time Mode, or you were
performing some button operation
during the auto signal receive operation
was performed.
•
Even if receive is successful, the receive
indicator disappears every day at 3am.
•
If the time is one hour off, the DST setting
may be incorrect.
•
The Home City Code setting is not
correct for the area where you are using
the watch.
What you should do
Enter the Timekeeping Mode
and try again.
•
Perform manual signal receive
or wait until the next auto
signal receive operation is
performed.
•
Check to make sure the watch
is in a location where it can
receive the signal.
•
Put the watch in a location
that is suitable for good
reception.
•
Change the DST setting to
AUTO
DST
.
•
Select the correct Home City
Code.
