5. For the UK’s MSF time signal transmitter
the following specific exception applies:
In the UK you need to perform a one-time manual time zone setting.
Due to the overlapping of the DCF and MSF transmitter signals, after
a manual time synchronisation or a reset the Junghans MEGA always
shows the DCF time.
a) Pull the crown into position C.
b) By turning the crown counter-clockwise you can
set the time to British Summer Time / Greenwich
Mean Time.
During this process the second hand shows the
hour you are setting using the minute scale (minute
0 = midnight.; minute 1 = 1 a.m.; Minute 18 = 6 p.m.;
etc. up to minute 23 = 11 p.m.). As soon as you have
turned the crown, the hour and minute hand run
parallel to your setting. The date also gets automat-
ically adjusted when you set the time zone.
c) c) You end the process by pressing the crown back
into position A.
The time set is retained during any further time
synchronisations.

6. For North America’s WWVB time signal transmitter
the following specific exception applies:
After a successful synchronisation, the Junghans MEGA always
receives Pacific Standard Time. As different time zones exist in the
USA and switching to summer and winter time varies from state to
state, it can be necessary to set the time zone manually.
a) Pull the crown into position C.
b) By turning the crown clockwise or counter-clock-
wise, you can set the time by the hour.
