1. Your Watch

This watch automatically receives standard time radio signals broadcast from radio signal

transmitters in the People’s Republic of China (BPC), which contain information that

automatically adjusts the time and the date of your watch. (P. 150)

iRegular automatic reception: The watch will automatically receive the radio signals at 2

a.m. every day and adjust the time and date accordingly. If a signal cannot be received at

2 a.m., it will try again automatically at 4 a.m.

iOn demand reception function: The radio signals can be received at the desired time to

adjust the time and date. * Not possible when the radio wave is interrupted.

<Eco-Drive Function>

This solar powered Eco-Drive watch is powered by photo energy converted into electrical

energy.

iPower saving function: If the watch face is not exposed to light for one week or longer,

the hands are stopped in order to restrict the power consumption of the watch. (P. 176)

iTime difference correction function: A simple method is available for changing to the

local time if you are going to an area in a different time zone. (P . 164)

2. Operating the Crown

There are two models available for the crown: normal and screw lock.

• When the screw lock is

released, the crown pops

out a little and stops in

the normal position.

After finishing the

operation, lock the

crown again.

With the crown in position 1 or position 2, quickly and

continuously turn the crown clockwise or

counterclockwise by two clicks or more to make a

hand (hour, minute or second hand) move

continuously.

To stop the continuous movement of the hands, turn

the crown clockwise or counterclockwise by one click.

* Your fingertips will feel the crown click slightly.

• Turn the crown

counterclockwise.

Using the side of your finger, quickly

turn the crown by two or more clicks.

B. Check the Reference Position

Before using the watch, check that the hands are aligned with “0”, similar to when

setting weighing scales

iThe reference position may become misaligned by environmental factors such as

magnetism, static electricity or an external impact. Even if radio signals are received, if

the watch hands are not aligned to the correct reference position, it will not be possible to

indicate the correct time. Check that the hands are properly aligned with “0”.

Examples of magnetic products that can affect the watch

• Health products (for example, medical necklaces and waist bands that have magnetic

fields)

• Refrigerators (magnetic part of the door)

• Electromagnetic cookers

• Bags (with magnet fasteners)

• Mobile phones (speaker part)

Keep the watch away from items similar to those above.

The reason why analog quartz watches are affected by strong magnetic fields:

The step motor operates through a magnet, so when it is exposed to a strong external

magnetic field, the motor operation is affected and the correct time is no longer

displayed.

[Checking the Reference Position]

(1) With the crown in the normal position, press and hold button (B) for more than 5

seconds, and release when the second hand starts to move.

(2) All the hands and the date will move rapidly, stopping at the reference position.

* This could take up to a maximum of about 7 minutes.

(3) If the reference position is correct, the check is complete.

If an incorrect position is indicated, the reference position must be adjusted.

(4) After completing the check, press button (B) once to return to the original time.

Refer to “Adjusting the Reference Position” on page 166.

Hand Movement

The second hand will stop in the RX position and then move to the H, M or L level. If the reception level is

not shown, normal hand movement will return without a signal being received.

The second hand will stop at H, M, L or NO.

The second hand will stop at the 12:00 position. (If a time difference setting has been made, it will stop at the

position appropriate for the time difference.)

Turn the crown clockwise to move ahead by 1 hour and turn it counterclockwise to move back by 1 hour.

Second hand: Turn the crown clockwise to rotate the second hand clockwise once and move the minute hand

ahead by 1 minute.

Turn the crown counterclockwise to rotate the second hand counterclockwise once and move

the minute hand back by 1 minute.

* Turn the crown quickly to advance rapidly.

Hour hand, date: Turn the crown clockwise to move the hour hand ahead by 1 hour.

Turn the crown counterclockwise to rotate the hour hand counterclockwise and back by 1 hour.

* Turn the crown quickly to advance rapidly.

* The hour hand and the date are linked together. Move the hour hand to change the date.

The second hand will stop at the “Elapsed years after the most recent leap year” position recorded in the watch

memory. Turn the crown clockwise to move the second hand ahead by 1 step and turn it counterclockwise to

move it back.

* Turn the crown quickly to advance rapidly.

5. Reception

Three types of radio signal reception are possible: regular automatic reception, on

demand reception and automatic reception recovery.

Regular Automatic Reception

(To receive signals automatically)

• It is not necessary to operate buttons during

regular automatic reception.

1. Remove the watch from your wrist and place on a

stable surface near a window, with the 9:00 position

(antenna for receiving the radio signals side) facing

in the direction of the radio signal transmitter from

which the radio signal can be easily received.

2. The watch will receive the radio signals at 2 a.m.

every day. If a signal cannot be received at 2 a.m., it

will try again automatically at 4 a.m. and the time

will be adjusted.

On demand reception (Manual reception)

• Signals can be received at any time in this mode.

* Not possible when the radio wave is interrupted.

Use this function when regular automatic reception is impossible due to changes in the

reception environment.

• Step

1. Find the direction of the radio signal transmitter.

2. Remove the watch from your wrist and place on a stable surface near a window where the

radio signal can be easily received.

3. Point the 9:00 position of the watch in the direction of the radio signal transmitter, and

press and hold button (A) for more than 2 seconds. Release when it stops at RX.

4. The second hand will then move to H, M or L.

An antenna for receiving the radio

signals is located inside the watch (on

the 9:00 position).

5. Do not move the watch during reception.

6. When the signal has been properly received, the second hand will automatically

move from H, M or L to the time that was received, all the hands will be adjusted,

and the second hand will return to 1-second interval movement.

• The reception level may be affected by the surroundings in which the watch is being

used. While referring to reception levels H, M and L, keep changing the watch

direction or location and try to receive the signals.

Automatic Reception Recovery

iAfter the watch has stopped due to an insufficient charging, charge the watch in

sunlight sufficiently. When the watch is recharged sufficiently, it will automatically

receive the radio signal once.

Regularly charge your watch so that it does not become

insufficiently charged.

To confirm, refer to “Confirming Reception Status” on page 155.

• When the watch is receiving the radio wave signal, all of the hands

will stop. To check the time, hold button (A) for 2 seconds to cancel

radio wave reception. The hands will then return to the current time.

6. Poor Reception Areas

It may be difficult to properly receive the radio signals under certain environmental

conditions or in areas susceptible to radio noise.

jExtremely hot or cold

locations

jNear cellular

phones in use

jInside vehicles,

including cars, trains

and aero planes

jNear TVs, refrigerators,

computers, fax machines and

other home electronic devices

or electrical appliances

jInside reinforced concrete

buildings, or underground

jNear high-tension electrical

lines, railway overhead wires

or communication facilities

8. Confirming Reception Status

iThe reception status can be confirmed.

Step 1: Press button (A) once to confirm the reception status. The second hand will move to

H, M, L or NO.

Step 2: The reception status will be indicated for 10 seconds before the watch automatically

returns to normal hand movement. You can also press button (A) again while the

reception status is indicated to return to 1-second interval movement.

• If NO is indicated, find a location or direction where the reception is better and perform

“On Demand Reception” again.

7. Position of the Second Hand During Reception

[Reception standby] [Receiving signal] [Reception completed]

jSecond hand moves to

RX and stops.

jThe second hand will move

from RX to reception level

H, M or L and will begin

receiving signals.

When reception is successful, the

second hand will return to 1-second

interval movement and the positions

of the other hands will be

automatically adjusted.

Reception can take from between about 2 minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes, depending on factors

such as the weather or noise. If the signal reception fails, the watch may return immediately to the

normal indication.

NOTE:

If the signal is blocked while it is being received due to changes in the environment or other factors,

the second hand may rotate once and show the reception level again. Do not move the watch until the

second hand has returned to moving at 1-second intervals.

* H, M and L only indicate the reception level, and do not affect the

performance.

<The time display may shift slightly depending on the reception environment and internal watch

processing even if radio waves are properly received.>
