Tips on how to keep the battery
Keep your watch exposed to light!
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light and stored
by a chargeable battery. To ensure stable operation, make sure that
the watch is exposed to light as much as possible.

Operation Guide 4782 (OC)
Function sleep state
The function sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the
dark for four days.
Power Saving
The Power Saving feature of the watch is turned on at the factory.
Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state
automatically in order to save power whenever it is left in the dark.
Note that the watch also may enter the sleep state if the watch is
blocked from light by your sleeve.
How a Radio-controlled Watch Works
•
In the function sleep state, alarms, the hourly time signal, analog
timekeeping, and auto signal receive are disabled.
What is a radio-controlled watch?
Calibration Signal
•
Digital timekeeping functions continue to operate normally.
•
A radio-controlled watch is designed to receive a time calibration
signal that contains standard time data and adjust its current time
setting accordingly.
•
The Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign: JJY) is maintained by
the National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT). It is transmitted 24 hours a day from the Mt.
Otakadoya transmitter (40 kHz) located in Tamura-gun,
Fukushima Prefecture, and from the Mt. Hagane transmitter (60
kHz) located on the border between Saga Prefecture and
Fukuoka Prefecture.

The U.S. calibration signal (Call Sign: WWVB) is transmitted by
the National Institute of Standards and technology from Fort

Time calibration signal frequencies and transmitter locations are
subject to change.
The display sleep state is triggered whenever the watch is left in the
dark for three or four days.
In the display sleep state, the display is blank, but alarms, the
hourly time signal, digital-analog time coordination, and auto
signal receive all continue to operate normally.

The time data of the Japanese calibration signal (Call Sign:
JJY) is maintained by the Japan Standard Time Group of the
National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT). Note that transmission of the standard
wave may be interrupted occasionally due to maintenance,
lightning, etc. For more information, visit the website of the
Japan Standard Time Group of the National Institute of
Information and Communications Technology (NICT) at the
following URL.
•
It can take up to two seconds before display figures re-appear
after you place the watch in a well-lit area.
After the watch receives the Standard Time signal, it performs
internal calculations to determine the current time. Because of
this, there may be an error of up to one second in the
displayed time.
❚
To turn Power Saving on and off
See the procedure under “To configure Home City settings” for
information about turning off Power Saving.
Leaving the watch in a drawer or anywhere else it is dark can
cause Power Saving to trigger in order to conserve battery
power.

Reception Ranges
Location
Receiving the Calibration Signal
Transmitter Location
This watch is designed to receive the standard time calibration signal
of Japan (JJY) or of the United States (WWVB). The signal that is
received depends on the current Home City setting.
Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations
described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal
reception.
There are two methods you can use in order to receive the time
calibration signal.
1000km
Auto Receive up to six times per day
(Midnight, 1:00, 2:00, 3:00, 4:00, and 5:00 a.m.)

Japan (JJY)
•
For information about selecting a Home City, see
“Configuring Home City Settings”. See the “World Time City
Code List” for more information about city codes.
•
You should think of your watch as operating like a radio or TV
when it is receiving the calibration signal.
•
•
Any time a signal receive operation is successful, no more auto
receive operations are performed that day.
The watch is set up for auto receive at the factory, so all you need to
do is to place it in a location that allows good reception each night.

• Under optimum conditions, the calibration signal should be
receivable up to 1,000 kilometers from the transmitter.
• Note that the wave is relatively weak at distances greater than
500km, so reception may be poor at long distances.
Remove the watch from your wrist and place it somewhere so its top
(12 o’clock, where the antenna is located) is facing approximately in
the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep it away from metal
objects.
•
Geographic contours, nearby buildings, the season, the time of
day, can even make reception impossible even when you are
within range of the transmitter.

•
Signal reception also is possible in Hong Kong (HKG), Honolulu
(HNL), and Anchorage (ANC) when reception conditions are
good.

If you are experiencing problems with reception, move away
from the types of locations described above to a location with

Is the watch in any mode other than the Timekeeping Mode or
World Time Mode during the auto receive times (midnight, 1:00
a.m., 2:00 a.m., 3:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., and 5:00 a.m.)?
Auto receive is performed only when the watch is in the
Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode. It is not performed if the
watch is in any other mode.
5. The digital time and analog time are different.
9. How can I view the last receive operation date and time?
Troubleshooting
•
Normally, received time calibration data is used to adjust the
digital display time, and then the analog hands are adjusted to
match the digital time.
•
In the Timekeeping Mode, press the lower right D button. This
will display the date and time that the time calibration signal was
last received successfully. To return to the Timekeeping Mode,
press the D button again.
1. The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal.
•
Is the signal being transmitted?
Though the time data of the Japanese calibration signal (Call
Sign: JJY) is maintained by the Japan Standard Time Group of
the National Institute of Information and Communications
Technology (NICT), it sometimes may be interrupted for periodic
maintenance work, or because of lightning or other problems.
Are you within the reception range of a transmitter?
See “Reception Ranges” for information about areas where the
watch can receive the signal.
If the hands are misaligned for some reason, they will not indicate
the correct time. If this happens, use the procedure under
“Configuring Analog Settings” to adjust the analog time.
2. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
hourly time signal and current time are slightly off.
6. I can’t turn auto receive on and 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).
•
You will not be able to turn auto receive on or off if you have any
city that is not included under “Reception Ranges” selected as
your Home City. For details about setting the correct Home City,
see “To configure Home City settings”.
Is there something in the immediate area that may be interfering
with reception?
Even if you are within the reception range of a transmitter, objects
between you and the transmitter or electrical noise can interfere
with reception. Avoid such areas (see “Location”) during signal
reception.
Do you have the correct Home City code selected?
Calibration signal reception will be impossible if you have any city
that is not included under “Reception Ranges” selected as your
Home City. For details about setting the correct Home City, see
“To configure Home City settings”.
3. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
current time is one hour fast.
7. What time is auto receive performed?
•
Auto receive is performed in the middle of the night, when
reception conditions are best. Before going to bed at night, place
the watch near a window, with 12 o’clock facing in the general
direction of the transmitter.
•
Do you have summer time (DST) turned on?
Use the procedure under “To configure Home City settings” to
•
•
If you cannot receive the calibration signal or if the current time
setting is incorrect after signal reception, check the current 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.
•
•
change the summer time setting to OFF or AUTO.
4. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
current time setting is wrong.
8. How can I perform manual receive?
•
Hold down the lower right D button for about two seconds. The
watch will beep to indicate that manual receive has started. Place
the watch near a window, with 12 o’clock facing in the general
direction of the transmitter.
•
Is TYO (Tokyo) selected for your Home City?
