• The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to light. Leaving the
watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which will result in some watch
functions to be disabled. If the battery goes dead, you will have to re-configure watch
settings after recharging. To ensure normal watch operation, be sure to keep it
exposed to light as much as possible.

Time/Date Adjustment
Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping
This watch adjusts its time setting automatically in accordance with a time calibration
signal. You also can perform a manual procedure to set the time and date, when
necessary.
• This watch is designed to pick up the time calibration signals transmitted in Germany
(Mainflingen), England (Anthorn), the United States (Fort Collins), China (Shangqiu),
and Japan (Fukushima, Fukuoka/Saga).
• The U.S. time calibration signal can be picked up by the watch while in North
America. The term "North America" in this manual refers to the area that consists of
Canada, the continental United States, and Mexico.
• See the information under "Signal Reception Troubleshooting" if you experience
problems with time calibration signal reception.
Current Time Setting
The first thing you should do after purchasing this watch is to specify your
Home Time Zone (the time zone where you normally will use the watch). For
more information, see "To specify your Home Time Zone" below.
• When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signal transmitters, you
will have to adjust the current time setting manually as required. See "Timekeeping"
for more information about manual time settings.
• If you lose your place during the following operation, hold down C to return to the
Timekeeping Mode.

Operation Guide 5046
The electricity generated by the solar cell of the watch is
stored by a built-in battery. Leaving or using the watch
where it is not exposed to light causes the battery to run
down. Make sure the watch is exposed to light as much as
possible.
• When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist,
position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright
light.
• You should try to keep the watch outside of your sleeve
as much as possible. Even if the face of the watch is
blocked only partially from light, charging will be reduced
significantly.

Press D or perform
no operation for two
seconds.

3. To exit the setting mode, press A.
• Normally, your watch should show the correct time as soon as you specify your
Home Time Zone. If it does not, it should adjust automatically after the next auto
receive operation (in the middle of the night). You also can perform manual receive
or you can set the time manually.
• Time calibration reception is not performed while "FREE" is selected for the Home
Time Zone, so you will need to set the time manually. If you want signal reception to
be performed, select a time zone other than "FREE".
• The watch will receive the time calibration signal automatically from the applicable
transmitter (in the middle of the night) and update its settings accordingly. For
information about the relationship between time zones and transmitters, see
"Important!" under "Time Calibration Signal Reception" and "Transmitters".
• See the maps under "Approximate Reception Ranges" for information about the
reception ranges of the watch.
• Even if the time calibration signal is received correctly, there may be times when the
analog hands may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures
under "Adjusting the Home Positions" to check the home positions of the hands, and
make adjustments as required.
To check current Home Time Zone setting
In the Timekeeping Mode, press D.
• This will cause the second hand to move to the currently selected Home Time Zone.
• The second hand will resume normal timekeeping after about two seconds or if you
press D again.
Daylight Saving Time (DST)
Daylight Saving Time (summer time) advances the time setting by one hour from
Standard Time. Remember that not all countries or even local areas use Daylight
Saving Time.
The time calibration signals transmitted from Mainflingen (Germany), Anthorn
(England), or Fort Collins (the United States) include both standard time and summer
time (DST) data. When the watch is able to receive a signal from any one of these
transmitters, it will adjust time automatically in accordance with standard time or
summer time (DST).
• While "FREE" is selected as the Home Time Zone or if you are in an area where
signal reception is impossible, you will need to set the time ahead one hour for
summer time (DST) and back one hour for standard time as required. See "To set
the time and date manually" for more information.
• Button operations are indicated using the letters shown
in the illustration.
• Each section of this manual provides you with the
information you need in order to perform operations in
each mode. Further details and technical information
can be found in the "Reference" section.
