2. Before Using A. Radio Wave Receiving Function 0 SE T This watch incorporates an antenna for receiving radio waves inside the watch case (at the 9:00 position). For good reception, it is ideal to have the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station when receiving radio waves. The reception level varies depending on the environment in which the watch is used.
3. Receiving Radio Waves In addition to the most commonly used Regular Automatic Reception and Free Reception, radio waves can also be received by using Recovery Automatic Reception by which radio waves are received when the watch is charged until the second hand moves at one-second intervals after having stopped due to being insufficiently charged. The time and date are corrected automatically when radio waves have been properly received.
· Place the watch in a stable location where it is exposed to direct sunlight and where radio waves can be received easily such as by a window with the 9:00 position of the watch facing in the direction of the radio wave transmitter station. Reception of radio waves begins automatically once the watch has been sufficiently charged. Note: Before using the watch, check the reception result.
D. Reception Level and Reception Result E. General Reference for Receiving Areas · During the standard time radio waves are being received, the second hand waits at the reception level position corresponding to the reception state to indicate the reception level. Following reception, the reception result can be confirmed by pressing button (A) once.

V Reading the Month January: The January zone is between 1:00 and 2:00 February: The February zone is between 2:00 and 3:00 : December: The December zone is between 12:00 and 1:00 V Reading the Year Leap year: 1st graduation of each month zone indicates a leap year 1st year after leap year: 2nd graduation of each month zone indicates the second year after a leap year 2nd year after leap year: 3rd graduation of each month zone indicates the third year after a leap year 3rd year after leap year: 4th graduatio
Examples: In the case of December in a leap year: Align the second hand at the 0 seconds position. (The area between 12:00 and 1:00 is the December zone. The first graduation of a month zone is a leap year.) In the case of April in the third year after the most recent leap year: Align the second hand at the 23 seconds position. (The area between 4:00 and 5:00 is the April zone. The fourth graduation of a month zone is the third year after the most recent leap year.
· When the crown is turned continuously to the left, the hour hand moves continuously in the backward (counter-clockwise) direction. · When the hour hand makes two revolutions, the date changes by one day. Continuously advance the hour hand until the correct date is displayed. · Turn the crown to the left or right to interrupt continuous movement of the hour hand. · The date changes between about 10:00 PM and 3:00 AM.
5. Time Difference Correction Function · This watch is equipped with a time difference correction function that lets you set a time difference in one hour units with respect to the received German standard time. · When radio waves are received after having set a time difference, the time is displayed after correcting the set time difference. · A time difference display monitor is provided that indicates whether or not a time difference is set with the second hand.
SE T Example: Setting to London time when the time in Germany is 10:10 AM The time difference between London and Germany is -1 hour. When the time in Germany is 10:10 AM, the time in London is 9:10 AM.

[Time difference is set] [Time Difference Canceled] [Time Difference Correction Mode] SE T This watch uses a secondary battery (rechargeable battery) to store electrical energy.
When the watch becomes insufficiently charged due to not exposing the dial (solar cell) to light 7. Unique Functions of Solar-Powered Watches When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the display changes as shown below.
A. Power Save Function 0 SE T When the solar cell is not exposed to light and power is not generated continuously for one week, each hand stops at the 12:00 position and the watch enters the Power Save mode (to reduce power consumption). · The date stops at a location between the previous day and the current day. After that, the date is automatically corrected at 12:00 AM once a day.
B. Insufficient Charge Warning Function (Second hand moves at twosecond intervals) C. Overcharging Prevention Function When the secondary battery becomes fully charged by exposing the dial (solar cell) to light, the overcharging prevention function is activated automatically to prevent the battery from being charged further. This lets you expose the watch to light without worrying about overcharging causing damage to the watch.
8. General Reference for Charging Times of Solar-Powered Watches The time required for recharging varies according to the model of the watch (color of the dial, etc.). The following times are shown below only to serve as a reference. · Recharging time refers to the amount of time the watch is continuously exposed to light.
9. Solar Powered Watch Handling Precautions CAUTION Charging Precautions • Avoid charging the watch at high temperatures (about 60°C / 140°F or higher) since allowing the watch to reach a high temperature during charging can cause deformation or discoloration of the dial, solar cell and other external components as well as a malfunction of mechanical components.
10. Setting the Reference Position SE T 0 Check the reference position if the watch does not indicate the correct time even after having received radio waves. In the case the reference position (±0 position/12:00 position), which serves as the reference for all watch functions, has shifted, check the reference position of each hand using the procedure described below.
[Normal Operation] 0 SE T Button (B) * This completes setting of the reference position. After setting the reference position, always make sure to perform free reception before using the watch.
B. Setting the Reference Position after All-Reset 11. All-Reset A. All-Reset Procedure SE T 0 The watch display may become abnormal due to the effects of static electricity or a strong shock. If this happens, perform the all-reset procedure and then set the reference position. Button (B) Button (A) (1) Pull out the crown to the second position. · The second hand rapidly moves to the reference position stored in memory and stops. (2) Press buttons (A) and (B) simultaneously.
Note: If the crown is accidentally pushed in too far to the normal position when the crown is pushed in from the second position to the first position, since this will end setting of the reference position causing the hands to move normally, it will not be possible to set the reference position for the hour hand and date. If the crown has returned to the normal position, set the reference position by referring to “10. B. Setting the Reference Position”. Alternatively, repeat the all-reset procedure again.
