[. . . ] English LThis watch indicates the reception level and reception result with the shorter end of the second hand. Second hand Hour hand Minute hand Button (B) ±0: Indicated when no time difference has been set Crown WThis watch is a radio wave watch that W receives the standard time radio wave transmitted in Germany. This radio wave watch is equipped with a regular automatic reception function that sets the time and date by automatically receiving radio waves twice a day at 3:00 AM and 4:00 AM, and a free reception function that allows the time to be set arbitrarily by receiving radio waves. A time difference can also be set in 1 hour units based on German standard time. Crown for turning the outer scale SET: Indicated when a time difference has been set Button (A) H, M, L: Reception level/ Reception result Shorter end of second hand No: Reception result RX:Reception standby (start of radio wave reception) The design may differ according to the model. 2 3 · This watch only receives the standard time radio wave transmitted in Germany during radio wave reception. It is unable to receive radio waves of countries other than Germany. · When using the watch in a location that has a different time difference than that of Germany, set the time difference by referring to the section entitled, "5. [. . . ] Once fully charged, this watch will continue to keep the correct time for about 6 months during normal use (when the Power Save function is not activated). Furthermore, the watch will keep the correct time for about 2 years when the Power Save function is activated. <For Optimum Use of this Watch> In order to use this watch comfortably, try to keep the watch charged at all times. Charge the watch by exposing the watch dial (containing the solar cell) to direct sunlight or light from a fluorescent lamp. The watch will not be damaged no matter how much it is charged. Expose the watch dial (containing the solar cell) toward the light when charging. <Try to Keep the Watch Charged at all Times> The Shorter end of the second hand moves to SET Turn the crown to move the hour hand until the shorter end of the second hand points to ±0 Second hand returns to onesecond interval movement · If you wear long sleeves, the fabric may cover the watch and prevent it from being exposed to light resulting in the watch becoming insufficiently charged. During the winter months in particular, it is recommended to charge the watch by exposing the dial to direct sunlight about once a month. · When the watch is removed, try to place it in as bright a location as possible such as near a window so that sunlight shines onto the watch dial. This will keep the watch charged continuously and enable it to continue to run properly at all times. 44 45 7. Unique Functions of Solar-Powered Watches When the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the display changes as shown below. When the watch becomes insufficiently charged due to not exposing the dial (solar cell) to light [Insufficient Charge Warning Display] [Normal Display] [Recovery Automatic Reception] When sufficiently charged by exposing the dial (solar cell) to light *1 When reception is successful *2 Watch stops due to being insufficiently charged If insufficiently charged state continues for 6 days or more When watch becomes sufficiently charged 2-second interval movement 46 * 1: If the watch has stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged, a minimum of 30 minutes are required until recovery automatic reception even if the watch is exposed to light. * 2: If recovery automatic reception has failed, the watch begins to run after returning to the time and date when the watch stopped as a result of being insufficiently charged. In this case, although the second hand moves at one second intervals, since the time is incorrect, first set the time and date manually or by free reception before using the watch. 47 A. Power Save Function <Power Save> 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. · Regular automatic reception is still performed twice a day in the same manner as that during normal display. · The watch enters the power save mode if it is not exposed to light even while the insufficient charge warning The date stops at a feature is activated (twolocation between second interval movement). the previous day and current day <Canceling Power Save> The power save function is canceled when power generation is resumed by exposing the solar cell to light. · When the power save function is canceled, each hand rapidly returns to the current time (by moving in the clockwise or counter-clockwise direction) and the watch begins one-second interval movement. · Two-second interval movement begins if the watch is insufficiently charged. When this happens, sufficiently charge the watch so that it returns to one-second interval movement. Notes: · Although regular automatic reception is performed while the watch is in the Power Save mode, radio waves may not be able to be received depending on the storage environment. Check the reception result by pressing button (A) after the Power Save function has been canceled. [. . . ] Using the watch where temperatures are outside the specified range may result in deterioration of functions or even stoppage of the watch. · Do NOT use the watch in places where it is exposed to high temperature, such as in a sauna. · Do NOT leave the watch in a place where it is exposed to high temperature, such as the glove compartment or dash-board of a car. Doing so may result in deterioration of the watch, such as deformation of plastic parts. [. . . ]
