Modes and Indicators

Power Saving
4IMEKEEPING -ODE
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is
stored by a chargeable battery. Long-term storage of the watch can
cause power to run low, so be sure to expose the watch to light for
some time before using it for the first time. See “Solar Charging” for
more information.
Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically
and stop movement of the analog hands in order to save power
whenever the watch is left in the dark.

Charging Precautions
Charging Guide
Solar Charging
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is
stored by a chargeable battery.
To ensure stable operation, make sure that the watch is exposed to
light as much as possible.
Avoid charging the watch in the following locations, and anywhere
else where the watch may become very hot.
Required Charging Time for One Day of Operation
• The following values assume six minutes of calibration signal
reception per day.
• On the dashboard of an automobile parked in the sun
• Very close to an incandescent light source or other sources of heat
• In a location exposed to direct sunlight for long periods

Dead Battery
The following conditions apply when
the battery is dead.
• Timekeeping stops.
• Auto receive and manual receive
are disabled.
• Second hand stops immediately at
12 o’clock.
• Hour and minute hands stop at 12
o’clock at midnight.
• Even if the battery level drops to
the point that timekeeping stops,
you still will be able to recharge
the battery and use the watch
again.
• After you recharge the battery
when it drops to a level where
timekeeping stops, the hands will
move automatically to the current
time setting.
Making sure the watch is exposed to light ensures stable operation.

Location
Calibration Signal Reception
Precautions
Troubleshooting
Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations
described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal
reception.
1. The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal.
2. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
hourly time signal and current time are slightly off.
• After the watch receives the time calibration signal, it performs an
internal decoding process before updating its time setting. Because
of this, the time setting may be off slightly (within one second).
• Auto Receive is not performed while the watch is in the Stopwatch
Mode.
• Is there something in the immediate area that may be interfering
with reception?
• You should think of your watch as operating like a radio or TV when
it is receiving the calibration signal.
• Pressing any button while auto receive is in progress will cause the
Even if you are within the reception range of a transmitter,
electrical noise or objects between you and the transmitter can
interfere with reception. Avoid such areas during signal reception.
See “Location” for more information.
• Are you within the reception range of a transmitter?
See “Reception Ranges” for information about areas where the
watch can receive the signal.
watch to exit the receive operation.
• Make sure you are within the range of a calibration signal
transmitter before performing the receive operation. Remember
that geographic contours, nearby buildings, the season, or the time
of day can make reception impossible even when you are within
range of the transmitter.
3. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
current time setting is wrong.
• Is your Home City setting correct? See “To configure Home City
settings” for more information.
• Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking
• Do you have the correct Home City code selected?
For details about setting the correct Home City, see “To configure
Home City settings”.
• Is the signal being transmitted?
Transmission of time calibration signals may be interrupted
occasionally due to maintenance, lightning, etc.
Among or near buildings
Near high-voltage lines
the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again.
• This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in
accordance with the calibration signal transmitted in Japan and
the United States only. Note that you will need to make your own
adjustments when using this watch outside of Japan or the United
States, or in any area that is outside the range of one of the
receivable time calibration signal transmitters.
• When the watch is unable to adjust its time using the calibration
signal for some reason, timekeeping accuracy is within 20
seconds per month.
• If you cannot receive the calibration signal or if the time setting is
incorrect after signal reception, check the setup of the watch.
• The following are the watch’s factory default settings, which are
configured automatically whenever you have the battery of the
watch replaced.
