The manual time synchronisation procedure can be discontinued with the
use of the T1 button. With the use of one of the buttons ranging from T2 to T5,
it is possible to display the current time during the synchronising procedure
by keeping the button depressed or, by pressing the T5 lighting button which
will display the time for the duration of the illumination. Hereby, the current
hour, minutes and seconds as well as weekday, day, month and year will be
displayed. Please make sure that during reception the watch is held steady or
put aside.
When the watch has received the time signal (after approximately 3 – 14
minutes), the display will automatically show the time received from the
transmitter in the previous mode.
Your Junghans Mega 1000 first attempts to receive a signal from the trans-
mitter station it last used to carry out a synchronisation. If the watch cannot
receive a signal from this transmitter station then it attempts to receive a sig-
nal from the other transmitter stations. The transmitter station that the
watch is currently trying to reach is shown in the display. If a manual syn-
chronisation is carried out successfully, the reception indicator resets itself to
0. However, if the transmission call is unsuccessful the reception indicator
does not change and the display returns to the time and mode that were acti-
ve before the transmission call was carried out.
If you have selected a different time zone to the one received from the trans-
mitter station then the manually selected time is verified. In this case only
minutes and seconds are synchronised.
If a signal is received from a different transmitter station to the one last used
for synchronisation then the time zone that is currently selected is retained
and the minutes and seconds are synchronised.
The current local time is set using the time zone adjustment function (see
chapter 8.1 – ”time zone adjustment”).
The following time zones are received from the transmitter stations:
Transmitter station Time zone
DCF77 (Europe) CET or CEST
WWVB (North America) Pacific Time
JJY40 (Japan) Local time Japan
JJY40 (Japan) Local time Japan

The Junghans Mega 1000 can receive time signals from the DCF77, WWVB,
JJY40 and JJY60 transmitter stations. This means that the watch will reliably
show daylight saving or winter time (except WWVB – see section 3) within the
transmission zones. If you are travelling to a country in a different time zone,
you can either set the watch to display the local time of that country as the 2nd
time in the upper part of the display (see chapter 10 – ”2nd time”) and/or set
the main time display to show the local time.
