RADIO WAVE CONTROLLED WATCH

6 About this radio wave controlled watch

This watch receives calibration signal and automatically updates the
time and date.

6 Transmitter

GERMANY

Signal code : DCF77
Location :

Mainflingen Germany (located 25 Km southeast of
Frankfurt)

U.K

Signal code : MSF
Location :

Rugby city (located near from London)

U.S.A

Signal code : WWVB
Location :

FortCollins in Colorado (located 100Km north of
Denver)

JAPAN

Signal code : JJY
Location :

Mt.Haganeyama (located 45Km southwest of
Fukuoka)

The signal usually operates 24 hours of a day, but it may be
temporarily interrupted for maintenance and lightning
cuntermeasure.

6 Radio wave reception zone

This watch can receive radio waves within a radius of about 1,000km
from the standard radio wave station. However, the coverage can
vary depending on time, season, weather conditions, local
environmental conditions, etc.

Phone: 81-3-5345-7860, Fax: 81-3-5345-7861

Which way to point the watch during reception

Flatten the wristband so it doesn't curl
under the antenna.

* The indicated reception area is for your reference only. Sometimes you cannot receive radio waves

even within the zone shown in the figure.

6 How to successfully receive radio waves

• It may be difficult to receive radio waves when metal shielding blocks the watch. When

inside a ferroconcrete building etc., try to place the watch near a window that is as close
as possible to facing the radio wave station.

• Try not to move the watch during radio wave reception.
• Good reception can be achieved if you aim the reception antenna (on the upper side of

the watch) toward the radio wave station.

• You can check signal strength by looking at the reception mark that is displayed during

radio wave reception. If you find a place and a direction to aim the watch in advance that
has stable reception, that will help to get a good connection.

* The watch may fail to receive radio waves or may receive them inaccurately near (within

10km from) the standard radio wave station. In this case, change the direction of the
antenna by 45 - 90 degrees or receive radio waves again at a place far (10km or farther)
from the standard wave station.

* Sometimes when the watch indicates strong radio wave reception, it still may not be able

to receive a signal due to surrounding environmental interference such as electrical
noise.

* The maximum time required to receive a complete signal can be up to 13 minutes. It may

change depending on distance from the standard radio wave station, time, season,
weather, etc.

6 Places where it may be difficult to receive radio waves

• Places with extremely high or low temperatures.
• Inside ferroconcrete buildings, underground, inside high-rise buildings, in valleys between

mountains, etc.

• Inside vehicles, trains, and airplanes.
• Places that tend to have electrical noise such as near high voltage cables, electric train

cables, and near airports.

• Near home appliances such as televisions, refrigerators, computers, fax machines,

inverter fluorescent lights, OA machines, and operating cellular phones.

* The watch operates using its built-in quartz accuracy under conditions of poor reception.

When it returns to a reception area and receives radio waves, the watch displays the
correct time. The watch operates using its built-in quartz accuracy between signal
reception cycles.

AUTOMATIC RECEPTION

If you receive radio waves properly, the time and date are adjusted automatically.

• The watch automatically receives radio waves a maximum of two times a day.

• If one of the two reception attempts is successful, automatic reception won't be

attempted again until the next day.
During the daylight saving time period, if the watch receives the radio waves normally, it
automatically displays the SUM. If it receives the radio waves normally after the DST
period, it automatically displays the ordinary time.

• Since the DST is automatically corrected, you do not need to correct it, as long as the

watch receives radio waves. In a district where the DST is not applied, however, you are
required to correct the DST manually.

8. BATTERY REPLACEMENT

When the display dims, replace the battery as soon as possible.After
battery replacement, please make sure to short two pattern on module,
and reset hands initial position refering to "7.CHECK AND RESET
HANDS INITIAL POSITION".

7 . CHECK AND RESET HANDS INITIAL POSITION

It may happen that hands slip and change to incorrect position, because
of hard shock, static electricity and after battery replacement and so
on.In this case, we cannot adjust to correct time, even we receive the
wave, because hands initial position is not correct.
Please check and reset hands initial position as following operation.
Correct hands initial position is "12H00M00S".
* Please don't do following operation, when you don't have any problem.

1) In the case of correct position("12H00M00S")

No need to reset hands initial position.

2) In the case of incorrect position( not "12H00M")

Need to reset and adjust hands initial position.
