Radio-controlled Atomic Timekeeping Precautions

•Strong electrostatic charge can result in the wrong time being set.

•The time calibration signal bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this,

such factors as changes in the reflectivity of the ionosphere, as well as

movement of the ionosphere to higher altitudes due to seasonal

atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of

the signal and make reception temporarily impossible.

•Even if the time calibration signal is received properly, certain conditions

can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second.

•The current time setting in accordance with the time calibration signal takes

priority over any time settings you make manually.

•

The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automatically

for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, 2099. Setting of the date by

the time calibration signal cannot be performed starting from January 1, 2100.

•This watch can receive signals that differentiate between leap years and

non-leap years.

•Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minute,

second) and date data (year, month, day), certain signal conditions can

limit reception to time data only.

•If you are in an area where proper time calibration signal reception is

impossible, the watch keeps the time with the precision noted in

“Specifications”.

•If you have problems with proper time calibration signal reception or if the

time setting is wrong after signal reception, check your current city code,

DST (summer time), and auto receive settings.

•The Home City setting reverts to the initial default of TYO (Tokyo)

whenever the battery power level drops to Level 5 or when you have the

rechargeable battery replaced. If this happens, change the Home City to

the setting you want.

Transmitters

The time calibration signal received by this watch depends on the currently

selected Home City code.

•When a U.S. time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration

signal transmitted from the United States (Fort Collins).

•When a Japanese time zone is selected, the watch receives the time

calibration signal transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga).

•

When a European time zone is selected, the watch receives the time calibration

signals transmitted from Germany (Mainflingen) and England (Anthorn).

•When your Home City is LON, PAR, BER, or ATH (which can receive both

the Anthorn and Mainflingen signals), the watch first tries to pick up the

signal it last successfully received. If that fails, it tries the other signal. For

the first receive after you select your Home City, the watch tries the nearest

signal first (Anthorn for LON, Mainflingen for PAR , BER, and ATH).

Timekeeping

•Resetting the seconds to 00 while the current count is in the range of 30 to

59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the

seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes.

•With the 12-hour format, the P (PM) indicator appears on the display for

times in the range of noon to 11:59 p.m. and no indicator appears 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,

without any indicator.

•The 12-hour/24-hour timekeeping format you select in the Timekeeping

Mode is applied in all modes.

•The watch’s built-in full automatic calendar makes allowances for different

month lengths and leap years. Once you set the date, there should be no

reason to change it except when battery power drops to Level 5.

•The times for the Timekeeping Mode and all the city codes of the World

Time Mode are calculated in accordance with each city’s UTC offset.

•The UTC offset is a value that indicates the time difference between a

reference point in Greenwich, England and the time zone where a city is

located.

Illumination Precautions

•The electro-luminescent panel that provides illumination loses power after

very long use.

•Illumination may be hard to see when viewed under direct sunlight.

•Illumination turns off automatically whenever an alarm sounds.

•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.

•Frequent use of illumination runs down the battery.

Auto light switch precautions

•The auto light switch is turned off automatically whenever battery power is

at Level 4.

•Wearing the watch on the inside of your wrist, movement of your arm, or

vibration of your arm can cause frequent activation of the auto light switch

and illumination of the display. To avoid running down the battery, turn off

the auto light switch whenever engaging in activities that might cause

frequent illumination of the display.

•Note that wearing the watch under your sleeve while the auto light switch is

turned on can cause frequent illumination of the display and can run down

the battery.

•Illumination may not turn on if the face of the

watch is more than 15 degrees above or below

parallel. Make sure that the back of your hand

is parallel to the ground.

•Illumination turns off in about one second, even

if you keep the watch pointed towards your

face.

•Static electricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the

auto light switch. If illumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back

to the starting position (parallel with the ground) and then tilt it back towards

your face again. If this does not work, drop your arm all the way down so it

hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again.

More than 15 degrees

too high

•Under certain conditions, illumination does not turn on until about one

second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not

necessarily indicate malfunction.

•You may notice a very faint clicking sound coming from the watch when it is

shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanical operation of

the auto light switch, and does not indicate a problem with the watch.

Barometer and Thermometer Precautions

•The pressure sensor built into this watch measures changes in air

pressure, which you can then apply to your own weather predictions. It is

not intended for use as a precision instrument in official weather prediction

or reporting applications.

•Sudden temperature changes can affect pressure sensor readings.

•Temperature measurements are affected by your body temperature (while

you are wearing the watch), direct sunlight, and moisture. To achieve a

more accurate temperature measurement, remove the watch from your

wrist, place it in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight, and wipe all

moisture from the case. It takes approximately 20 to 30 minutes for the

case of the watch to reach the actual surrounding temperature.

Pressure Sensor and Temperature Sensor Calibration

The pressure sensor and temperature sensor built into the watch are

calibrated at the factory and normally require no further adjustment. If you

notice serious errors in the pressure readings and temperature readings

produced by the watch, you can calibrate the sensor to correct the errors.

Important!

•Incorrectly calibrating the barometric pressure sensor can result in incorrect

readings. Before performing the calibration procedure, compare the

readings produced by the watch with those of another reliable and accurate

barometer.

•Incorrectly calibrating the temperature sensor can result in incorrect

readings. Carefully read the following before doing anything.

Compare the readings produced by the watch with those of another

reliable and accurate thermometer.

If adjustment is required, remove the watch from your wrist and wait for 20

or 30 minutes to give the temperature of the watch time to stabilize.

To calibrate the pressure sensor and the temperature sensor

1. Press B to enter the Barometer/

Thermometer Mode.

2. In the Barometer/Thermometer Mode, hold

down E for about two seconds until either

OFF or the reference temperature value starts

to flash. This is the setting screen.

•If you want to calibrate the barometric

pressure sensor, press D to move the

flashing to the middle display area. This is

the pressure sensor calibration screen.

•At this time, OFF or the barometric pressure

value should be flashing on the display.

•The letters “UTC” is the abbreviation for “Universal Time Coordinated”,

which is the world-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon

carefully maintained atomic (cesium) clocks that keep time accurately to

within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary

to keep UTC in sync with the Earth’s rotation.
