The A button is designed to protect against accidental
pressing. Use a thin pointed object to press the
depression of the button to operate it.
Things to check before using the watch
1. During regular timekeeping, observe the movement of the x Second Hand.
It can take as long as 14 minutes for the watch to resume normal operation when •
recovering from the sleep state. See “Power Saving”.
Is the x Second Hand moving smoothly at one-second intervals?
Is the x Second Hand moving at
two-second intervals or is it stopped
completely?
Go to step 2.
The watch is charged sufficiently.
For details about charging, see
“Charging the Watch”.
Power is low. Charge the watch by placing
it in a location where it is exposed to light.

2. Check the current location setting.
Use the procedure under “Specifying Your Current Location and Setting the Time” to
configure your location setting.
Important!
Proper time calibration signal reception and time settings depend on correct location
setting. Make sure you configure these settings correctly.
3. Set the current time.
• To set the time using a time calibration signal
See “To get ready for a receive operation”.
• To set the time manually
See “Specifying Your Current Location and Setting the Time”.
The watch is now ready for use.
For details about the watch’s radio controlled timekeeping feature, see “Radio •
Controlled Atomic Timekeeping”.
Charging the Watch
The face of the watch is a solar cell that generates power from light. The generated
power charges a built-in rechargeable battery, which powers watch operations. The
watch charges whenever it is exposed to light.
Charging Guide
Whenever you are not
wearing the watch, leave
it in a location where it is
exposed to light.
Best charging •
performance is achieved
by exposing the watch to
light that is as strong as
possible.
When wearing the watch,
make sure that its face is
not blocked from light by the
sleeve of your clothing.
The watch may enter a •
sleep state if its face is
blocked by your sleeve
even only partially.
Warning!
Leaving the watch in bright light for charging can cause it to become quite hot.
Take care when handling the watch to avoid burn injury. The watch can become
particularly hot when exposed to the following conditions for long periods.
On the dashboard of a car parked in direct sunlight •
Too close to an incandescent lamp •
Under direct sunlight •

Important!
Keep the watch in an area normally exposed to bright light when storing it for long •
periods. This helps to ensure that power does not run down.
Storing the watch for long periods in an area where there is no light or wearing it in •
such a way that it is blocked from exposure to light can cause power to run down.
Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright light whenever possible.
Power Levels
You can get an idea of the watch’s power level by
observing the movement of the
x Second Hand in the
regular timekeeping.
If the •
x Second Hand is moving normally at one-second
intervals, power is at Level 1.
If the •
x Second Hand is moving at two-second intervals,
power is at Level 2, which is quite low. Expose the watch
to light as soon as possible so it can charge.

z Hour Hand, x Second Hand and
c Minute Hand stopped at 12 o’clock.
All functions disabled
When power drops to Level 3, all functions will be disabled but the watch will •
continue to keep time internally for about one week. If you recharge the battery
sufficiently during this period, the analog hands will move automatically to the
correct setting and regular timekeeping will resume. After one week, all settings
(including timekeeping) will be cleared. Recharging the battery will reset all settings
to their initial factory defaults.

Power Saving
Power Saving enters a sleep state automatically whenever the watch is left for one
week in an area where it is dark.
What happens when the watch is in the sleep state
All hands move to 12 o’clock and stop. •
Auto Receive becomes disabled. •
Internal timekeeping functions continue to operate normally. •
To recover from the sleep state
Move the watch to a well-lit area or press any button.
It can take as long as 14 minutes for the watch to resume normal operation when •
recovering from the sleep state. Do not perform any watch operation during that
time.
Radio Controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch receives a time calibration signal and updates its time setting accordingly.
However, when using the watch outside of areas covered by time calibration signals,
you will have to adjust the settings manually as required. See “Specifying Your
Current Location and Setting the Time” for more information.
This section explains how the watch updates its time settings when the city name
selected as the current location is in Japan or China, and is one that supports time
calibration signal reception.
If your location setting is this:
The watch can receive the signal from the
transmitter located here:

TOKYO (TYO) Fukushima (Japan), Fukuoka/Saga (Japan)
