Watch Positioning
To achieve the best possible reception please follow this guide.
Announcing the time
1. Press the A button (next to 2 o’clock) once to tell the time
2. Press the A button twice to tell the date.
3. Press the A button 3 times to tell the reception / signal status.
If the watch has automatically updated and is synchronised with the local signal it will say “Country
name” follow by “Time Updated”. If the update has failed, the watch will say”Country name” follow
by “Time Not Updated”. If the watch hasn’t updated please follow Set Country with automatic time
settings instructions.
Set Country (with automatic time settings)
You can set your watch to receive either UK, Germany, USA or Japan (60 KHz) signals. However the
watch will only pick up a signal within 1200 miles. So if you live in the UK and you select the signal to
USA or Japan it will not pick up the signal. Likewise if you select the setting to Germany you will find
the time is one hour in front. It is suggested you update your watch if you are travelling across different
time zones. When you select a new country the watch will adjust to the local time.
In order to set your watch to a local signal follow the steps below:
1. Press and hold the B button (next to 4 o’clock) while the watch is in the normal
running time mode for around 5 seconds until the watch says
“Set alarm press 2 o’clock button to set”.
2. Press the B button again 3 times until the watch says till the watch says “Global signal selection”.
3. Press the A button repeatedly to select the signal / reception you require.

Dear Customer
Thank you for purchasing the Tavistock & Jones Radio Controlled Talking Watch.
The Tavistock & Jones radio controlled, multi-band atomic watch picks up the official
time and date signals from radio transmitters across the UK, Europe, Japan and
North America, ensuring it’s always accurate to the correct local time. It never needs
setting; however it can also be adjusted manually for countries with no signal. Plus it
automatically adjusts for British summer and winter time without you having to touch it.
Quick Start
Your Radio Controlled Talking Watch will arrive with the batteries in ‘sleep mode’.
In order to ‘wake up the watch’ simply press either the button next to 2 o’clock (A)
or the button next to 4 o’clock (B) for around 3 seconds or until the hands start to
spin. The hour and minute hands will spin round until they reach the correct time.
Setting to BST (British Summer Time)
If the time is not correct once the hands have stopped spinning simply leave
the watch by a window ledge or an area where it will receive the strongest,
uninterrupted signal. The watch is programmed to update and transmit a time check at 3am every day.
Leaving the watch by a window and in a position where the back of the watch will receive the best
signal (see section on Watch Positioning) the time will re-set itself to the correct BST and thus tell the
correct time.
Unfortunately until the watch re-sets itself at 3am it will show the incorrect time. This is perfectly normal
and the watch is not broken or damaged, it is how radio controlled wacthes are designed. By the time
you wake up the next morning the watch will show the correct time.
Automatic Time Setting
Your Radio Controlled Talking Watch recalls the selected atomic clock signal automatically at 03:00AM
every morning. After receiving a signal it will show the official local time on the watch. Everything is done
automatically. However, your watch can also be manually set (see Set Country with manual
signal settings).
At night position the watch face down on a flat surface near a window (please see the diagram
opposite). The signal will be updated at 03:00AM.
If your watch is unable to make contact with the radio signal, it will continue to function in the same way
as a standard watch. The time will then be corrected whenyour watch receives an updated signal.
PLEASE NOTE:
Make sure the overnight position for the watch is at least six feet away from any
household electrical appliances as they could cause interference with the signal. Never let metal
(including the metal clasp touch the case back as may affect the signal.
The watch must be set to the correct country before it can receive a signal (please follow Set Country
with automatic time settings).
