8.1 Restart/Starting following complete discharge of the energy store
Following complete discharging of the energy store, the Junghans mul-
ti-frequency radio-controlled solar movement must be exposed to light
in order to recharge the energy store. Two bars flash every ten seconds
in the LC display [
--
] throughout the charging procedure. As soon as
the charging procedure is complete, a restart is performed automati-
cally. The hands rotate to the 12 o’clock position and the watch begins
reception of the time signal. The display is extinguished in the LC dis-
play during this process. With successful reception, the watch sets the
correct time automatically after a few minutes.
Reset
If your watch does not display the correct time or the correct date
following a restart, perform a one-time reset. To do this, press both
corrector buttons at the same time for 4 seconds with the corrector
pin supplied.
The restart is initiated as soon as the LC display is extinguished. Relieve
the pressure on both correctors and hold the watch steady or set it
down on a still surface. All hands continue round to the 12 o’clock posi-
tion and the watch starts a new time synchronisation.
Poor Reception Conditions
If the watch has still not received any time signal after 50 minutes, the
reception process is discontinued to save energy, and a new attempt
is made every 6 hours. The hands remain in the 12 o’clock position and
two flashing bars are displayed [
--
] in the LC display continuously every
two seconds. Should you nevertheless wish to have the time informa-
tion displayed, the watch can be easily set manually with the Junghans
MEGA App or in quartz mode (refer to section 6.3). The watch then
continues to run with the precision of a quartz watch.
