The fashing LOW indicator at Leve 3 tes you that battery power is very ow, and that exposure to bright ight for charging is required as soon as possibe. At Leve 5, a functions are disabed and settings return to their initia factory defauts. Once the battery reaches Leve 2 after faing to Leve 5, reconfigure the current time, date, and other settings. The watch s Home code setting wi change automaticay to TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery drops to Leve 5. With this Home code setting, the watch is configured to receive the time caibration signas of Japan. If you are using the watch in North America or Europe, or China you wi need to change the Home code setting to match your ocation whenever the battery drops to Leve 5. Dispay indicators reappear as soon as the battery is charged from Leve 5 to Leve 2. Leaving the watch exposed to direct sunight or some other very strong ight source can cause the battery power indicator to show a reading temporariy that is higher than the actua battery eve. The correct battery eve shoud be indicated after a few minutes. Performing iumination, or beeper operations during a Recover indicator short period may cause (recover) to appear on the dispay. After some time, battery power wi recover and (recover) wi disappear, indicating that the above functions are enabed again. If (recover) appears frequenty, it probaby means that remaining battery power is ow. Leave the watch in bright ight to aow it to charge. Charging Precautions Certain charging conditions can cause the watch to become very hot. Avoid eaving the watch in the areas described beow whenever charging its rechargeabe battery. Aso note that aowing the watch to become very hot can cause its iquid crysta dispay to back out. The appearance of the LCD shoud become norma again when the watch returns to a ower temperature.

6 Radio-controed Atomic Timekeeping Precautions Strong eectrostatic charge can resut in the wrong time being set. The time caibration signa bounces off the ionosphere. Because of this, such factors as changes in the refectivity of the ionosphere, as we as movement of the ionosphere to higher atitudes due to seasona atmospheric changes or the time of day may change the reception range of the signa and make reception temporariy impossibe. Even if the time caibration signa is received propery, certain conditions can cause the time setting to be off by up to one second. The current time setting in accordance with the time caibration signa takes priority over any time settings you make manuay. The watch is designed to update the date and day of the week automaticay for the period January 1, 2000 to December 31, Setting of the date by the time caibration signa cannot be performed starting from January 1, This watch can receive signas that differentiate between eap years and non-eap years. Though this watch is designed to receive both time data (hour, minutes, seconds) and date data (year, month, day), certain signa conditions can imit reception to time data ony. If you are in an area where proper time caibration signa reception is impossibe, the watch keeps the time with the precision noted in Specifications. If you have probems with proper time caibration signa reception or if the time setting is wrong after signa reception, check your current city code, DST (summer time), and auto receive settings. The Home setting reverts to the initia defaut of TYO (Tokyo) whenever the battery power eve drops to Leve 5 or when you have the rechargeabe battery repaced. If this happens, change the Home to the setting you want. Transmitters The time caibration signa received by this watch depends on the currenty seected Home code. When a U.S. time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signa transmitted from the United States (Fort Coins). When a Japanese time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signa transmitted from Japan (Fukushima and Fukuoka/Saga). When a European time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signas transmitted from Germany (Mainfingen) and Engand (Anthorn). When a China time zone is seected, the watch receives the time caibration signas transmitted from China (Shangqiu ). When your Home is LIS, LON, MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, MOW (which can receive both the Anthorn and Mainfingen signas), the watch first tries to pick up the signa it ast successfuy received. If that fais, it tries the other signa. For the first receive after you seect your Home, the watch tries the nearest signa first (Anthorn for LIS, LON, Mainfingen for MAD, PAR, ROM, BER, STO, ATH, and MOW). Auto Return If you do not perform any operation for about two or three minutes whie a setting screen (with a fashing setting) is on the dispay, the watch wi exit the setting screen automaticay. Scroing The B and D are used in various modes and setting screens to scro through data on the dispay. In most cases, hoding down these buttons during a scro operation scros at high speed. Initia Screens When you enter the Word Time Mode or Aarm Mode, the data you were viewing when you ast exited the mode appears first. Timekeeping Resetting the seconds to 00 whie the current count is in the range of 30 to 59 causes the minutes to be increased by 1. In the range of 00 to 29, the seconds are reset to 00 without changing the minutes. The year can be set in the range of 2000 to The watch s buit-in fu automatic caendar makes aowances for different month engths and eap years. Once you set the date, there shoud be no reason to change it except after you have the watch s battery repaced. The current time for a city codes in the Timekeeping Mode and Word Time Mode is cacuated in accordance with the Coordinated Universa Time (UTC) for each city, based on your Home time setting. Word Time The seconds count of the Word Time is synchronized with the seconds count of the Timekeeping Mode. Iumination Precautions The eectro-uminescent pane that provides iumination oses power after very ong use. Iumination may be difficut to see when viewed under direct sunight. The watch may emit an audibe sound whenever the dispay is iuminated. This is due to vibration of the EL pane used for iumination, and does not indicate mafunction. Iumination turns off automaticay whenever an aarm sounds. Frequent use of iumination runs down the battery.

Doing so causes the auto ight switch to operate when it is not needed, which shortens battery ife. If you want to wear the watch on the inside of your wrist, turn off the auto ight switch feature. More than 15 degrees too high Iumination may not turn on if the face of the watch is more than 15 degrees above or beow parae. Make sure that the back of your hand is parae to the ground. Iumination turns off after a preset amount of time (1.5 or 3 seconds), even if you keep the watch pointed towards your face. Static eectricity or magnetic force can interfere with proper operation of the auto ight switch. If iumination does not turn on, try moving the watch back to the starting position (parae with the ground) and then tit it back toward you again. If this does not work, drop your arm a the way down so it hangs at your side, and then bring it back up again. Under certain conditions, iumination may not turn on unti about one second after you turn the face of the watch towards you. This does not necessariy indicate mafunction of the auto ight switch. You may notice a very faint cicking sound coming from the watch when it is shaken back and forth. This sound is caused by mechanica operation of the auto ight switch, and does not indicate a probem with the watch. 6
