Operation Guide 5012 (OC)
Before using the watch...
Expose the watch to light.
Power Saving
Your watch runs on electrical power generated from light, which is
stored by a chargeable battery. Long-term storage of the watch can
cause the battery to run low, so be sure to expose the watch to light
before using it for the first time. See “Solar Charging” for more
information.
Power Saving causes the watch to enter a sleep state automatically
and stop movement of the analog hands in order to save power
whenever the watch is left in the dark.
The watch will exit the sleep state if you expose it to light or perform
any button operation.
•
•
Though the hands are stopped, the watch continues to keep time
internally.
Note that the watch also may enter the sleep state and stop if the
solar panel is blocked from light by your sleeve.
Low Battery Alert
When secondary battery power is low, the second hand of the watch
will jump at 2-second intervals to let you know that charging is
required.
Sleep Level 1
•
See “Low Battery Alert” for more information.
Sleep Level 1 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark for
about one hour any time between the hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
In Sleep Level 1:
•
•
The second hand is stopped.
The hour hand, 24-hour hand, minute hand, and day indicator
continue to operate normally.
•
Auto Receive is performed normally.

Sleep Level 2
Sleep Level 2 is triggered whenever the watch is left in the dark
while in Sleep Level 1 for six or seven days.
In Sleep Level 2:
30
•
The hour hand, 24-hour hand, and minute hand are stopped.
If the watch reaches Sleep Level 2 while in the World Time Mode,
the hands will move to 12 o’clock and stop when the Home City
time (kept internally) reaches midnight.
•
Jumps at 2-second
intervals.
•
•
Auto Receive is disabled.
The day indicator continues to operate normally.
•
•
To toggle between the Timekeeping Mode and World Time Mode,
press the C button.
About 1.5 seconds after you enter the World Time Mode, the

What is a radio-controlled watch?
Calibration Signal
Mt. Otakadoya
(40kHz)
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.

Signal reception is possible in the time zones represented by
HKG (Hong Kong), HNL (Honolulu), and ANC (Anchorage) when
reception conditions are good.
Certain conditions can make reception impossible even when the
watch is within one of the reception ranges shown above. Signals
become weaker outside of the smaller circles indicated by dashed
lines in the nearby maps, so the reception environment has a
greater effect on signal reception.
U.K. (MSF), Germany (DCF77)
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.
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 calibration signal may be
interrupted occasionally due to maintenance, lightning, etc.

Important!
How Auto Receive Works
Reception Time
Auto Receive
Reception is difficult and may even be impossible in the locations
described below. Avoid such locations when performing signal
reception.
Calibration signal reception will start automatically whenever the
current time in the Timekeeping Mode reaches one of the Auto
Receive Start Times listed below. Auto receive can be performed up
to six times a day, but any time a signal receive operation is
successful, no more auto receive operations are performed that day.
Note that the Auto Receive Start Times differ according to the
current Home City setting and the summer time setting.
A receive operation can take anywhere from about two to seven
minutes.
Getting Ready for Auto Receive
You will need to perform the operations described below in order to
use Auto Receive.
•
Under certain conditions, a receive operation can take as long as
13 minutes.
•
You should think of your watch as operating like a radio or TV
when it is receiving the calibration signal.
•
Configure the Home City setting of the Timekeeping Mode so it
matches your current location. The Home City must be in a time
zone where calibration signal reception is supported. See:
“Reception Ranges” and “Configuring Home City Settings”.
Put the watch into the Timekeeping Mode or World Time Mode.
See: “Modes and Indicators”.
During the Auto Receive times, position the watch correctly for
best reception. See: “Auto Receive Start Times” (below) and
“Positioning the Watch for Best Reception”.
Positioning the Watch for Best
Reception
•
Summer time, or Daylight Saving Time (DST) as it is called in
some countries, calls for setting clocks ahead one hour from
standard time during the summer season.
•
•
Remove the watch from your wrist and place it somewhere so its top
(12 o’clock side, where the antenna is located) is facing
approximately in the direction of the signal transmitter. Keep the
watch away from metal objects.

•
Proper reception may be impossible if there is something blocking
the signal. If reception is unsuccessful, try again.
This watch is designed to adjust its current time setting in
accordance with the calibration signals transmitted in Japan, the
United States, the U.K., and Germany. Note that you will need to
make your own adjustments when using this watch outside of the
range of the time calibration signal transmitters.
Under some reception conditions,
the indicator hand may cycle
between “R” (or “READY”) and
“W” (or “WORK”) until reception
stabilizes.

•
If reception was successful, the
hands will move to the correct
time. After that, the indicator hand
will move to “Y” (or “Yes” for some
models). Then after about five
seconds the watch will resume
regular timekeeping.
Position the watch correctly (see “Positioning the Watch for Best
Reception”).

2. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
hourly time signal and current time are slightly off.
Troubleshooting
1. The watch cannot receive the time calibration signal.
•
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).
•
Is there something in the immediate area that may be interfering
with reception?
Even if you are within the reception range of a transmitter,
electrical noise or objects between you and the transmitter can
interfere with reception. Avoid such areas (see “Positioning the
Watch for Best Reception”) during signal reception.
Are you within the reception range of a transmitter?
See “Reception Ranges” for information about areas where the
watch can receive the signal.
3. Time calibration signal reception is successful, but the
current time setting is wrong.
