This watch does not have a city code that corresponds to the UT offset of. hours. ecause of this, the radio-controed atomic timekeeping function wi not dispay the correct time for Newfoundand, anada. Keep the watch exposed to bright ight The eectricity generated by the soar ce of the watch is right ight stored by a buit-in battery. Leaving or using the watch where it is not exposed to ight causes the battery to run down. Make sure the watch is exposed to ight as much as possibe. When you are not wearing the watch on your wrist, Soar ce position the face so it is pointed at a source of bright ight. You shoud try to keep the watch outside of your seeve as much as possibe. Even if the face of the watch is bocked ony partiay from ight, charging wi be reduced significanty. Soar ce (onverts ight to eectrica power.) The watch continues to operate, even when it is not exposed to ight. Leaving the watch in the dark can cause the battery to run down, which wi resut in some watch functions to be disabed.

You aso can perform a manua procedure to set the time and date, when necessary. The first thing you shoud do after purchasing this watch is to specify your Home ity, which is the city where you normay wi use the watch. For more information, see To specify your Home ity. When using the watch outside the areas covered by the time signa transmitters, you wi have to adjust the current time setting manuay as required. See onfiguring Time and ate Settings Manuay for more information about manua time settings. To specify your Home ity. In the Timekeeping Mode, keep A depressed (for about five seconds) as the second moves to the ast signa reception resut ( Y or N ), then to REAY (or R for some modes), and then to the city code of the currenty seected Home ity. This indicates the city code setting mode.. Use to move the second cockwise to the city code you want to use as your Home ity. For information about the Home ity, see Home ity odes and Transmitters. The watch wi receive the time caibration signa of the transmitter of the ity code seected city code.. After the Home ity setting is the way you want, press A to return to the Timekeeping Mode. Normay, your watch shoud show the correct time as soon as you specify your Home ity code. If it does not, it shoud adjust automaticay after the next auto receive operation. You aso can perform manua receive or you can set the time manuay. Even if the time caibration signa is received correcty, there are some times when the anaog s may not indicate the correct time. If this happens, use the procedures under Auto Hand Home Position orrection to check the home positions of the s, and make adjustments as required. Home ity odes and Transmitters The time caibration signa the watch wi attempt to pick up depends on its current Home ity code setting as shown beow. If you use the watch in Japan or Europe (each of which has two different transmitter ocations), it wi try to receive the time caibration signa from one of the transmitters in your current ocation. If it cannot receive the signa, it wi then try to receive the time caibration signa from the other transmitter.

Power Suppy This watch is equipped with a soar ce and a specia rechargeabe battery (secondary battery) that is charged by the eectrica power produced by the soar ce. The iustration shown beow shows how you shoud position the watch for charging. Exampe: Orient the watch so its face is Soar ce pointing at a ight source. The iustration shows how to position a watch with a resin band. Note that charging efficiency drops when any part of the soar ce is bocked by cothing, etc. You shoud try to keep the watch outside of your seeve as much as possibe. Even if the face of the watch is bocked from ight ony partiay, charging wi be reduced significanty.

5 Operation Guide 0 Important! Storing the watch for ong periods in an area where there is no ight or wearing it in such a way that it is bocked from exposure to ight can cause rechargeabe battery power to run down. Make sure that the watch is exposed to bright ight whenever possibe. This watch uses a specia rechargeabe battery to store power produced by the soar ce, so reguar battery repacement is not required. However, after very ong use, the rechargeabe battery may ose its abiity to achieve a fu charge. If you experience probems getting the specia rechargeabe battery to charge fuy, contact your deaer or ASIO distributor about having it repaced. The specia rechargeabe (secondary) battery used by your watch is not intended to be removed or repaced by you. Use of a rechargeabe battery other than the specia one specified for this watch can damage the watch. The current time and a other settings return to their initia factory defauts whenever the watch is eft uncharged for about one week after battery power drops to Leve, and when you have the battery repaced. Keep the watch in an area normay exposed to bright ight when storing it for ong periods. This heps to keep the rechargeabe battery from going dead. attery Power Leves The movement of the anaog s indicates the current battery power eve. Leve Hand Movement Function Status Norma.

It aso contains important precautions and notes about the various features and functions of this watch. Auto Return Features If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes in the current time setting mode, or in the /day home position correction mode, the watch wi return to the Timekeeping Mode automaticay. If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes whie a setting mode is seected, the watch wi exit the setting mode automaticay. High-Speed Movement In most cases when configuring settings, hoding down a button wi start high-speed scroing of the appicabe setting. High-speed movement of s and day wi continue unti you press any button. Radio-controed Atomic Timekeeping Precautions Strong eectrostatic charge can resut in the wrong time being set. The time caibration signa bounces off the ionosphere. ecause of this, such factors as changes in the refectivity of the ionosphere, as we as movement of the ionosphere to higher atitudes due to seasona atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signa and make reception temporariy impossibe. Even if the time caibration signa is received propery, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. The current time setting in accordance with the time caibration signa takes priority over any time settings you make manuay. The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automaticay for the period January, 000 to ecember, 099. Setting of the date by the time caibration signa wi not be performed starting from January, 00. This watch can receive signas that differentiate between eap years and non-eap years. If you are in an area where proper time caibration signa reception is impossibe, the watch keeps time with the precision noted in Specifications. Timekeeping The year can be set in the range of 000 to 099. The watch s buit-in fu automatic caendar makes aowances for different month engths and eap years. Once you set the date, there normay shoud be no reason to change it. Note, however, that if the watch is eft uncharged for about one week after battery power drops to Leve, the current time and a other settings return to their initia factory defauts. The date wi change automaticay when the current time reaches midnight. The date change at the end of the month may take more time than norma. The current time for a time zones in the Timekeeping Mode and Word Time Mode is cacuated in accordance with the oordinated Universa Time (UT) offset of each zone, based on your Home Time Zone time setting. UT is the word-wide scientific standard of timekeeping. It is based upon carefuy maintained atomic (cesium) cocks that keep time accuratey to within microseconds. Leap seconds are added or subtracted as necessary to keep UT in sync with the Earth s rotation. The reference point for UT is Greenwich, Engand. Power Saving Power Saving enters a seep state automaticay whenever the watch is eft for a certain period in an area where it is dark. The tabe beow shows how watch functions are affected by Power Saving. There actuay are two seep state eves: second seep and function seep.
