Backlight Precautions
The backlight uses an EL (electro-luminescent) panel that causes the entire display to
glow for easy reading in the dark.
In any mode, press B to illuminate the display for about one second.
• 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 runs down the battery.
• 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.
• Signal reception is normally better at night than during the day.
• 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.
Problem
Cannot perform
manual receive.
Auto receive is
turned on, but
the receiving
indicator (Level
4) does not
appear on the
display.
Probable Cause
•
The watch is not in the Timekeeping
Mode.
• You changed the time setting
manually.
• The watch was not in the
Timekeeping Mode or you were
performing some button operation
during the last auto signal receive
operation was performed.
•
Even if receive is successful, the
receiving indicator (Level 4) disappears
every day at 3am.
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.
Signal Receive Troubleshooting
Check the following points whenever you experience problems with your watch.
Time setting is
incorrect
following signal
reception.
•
If the time is one hour off, DST setting
may be incorrect.
• The Home City Code setting is not
correct for the area where you are
using the watch.
• Change the DST setting to Auto
DST.
• Select the correct Home City
Code.
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.
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.

Sleep Mode
While the sleep mode is turned on, the watch automatically goes to "sleep" to save
power whenever it is left in a place where lighting is dim (less than about 30 lux).
The following shows how watch functions are affected when left in a dark place while
in the sleep mode.
To exit the sleep mode, move the watch to a location that is more brightly lit, or press
any button.
• It takes up to about five seconds for the watch to recover from the sleep mode.
• Even when the watch is in the sleep mode, digital-analog time coordination and auto
signal receive are both performed.
• See “To set the current digital time and date manually” for information about
configuring sleep mode settings.
