This solar radio-controlled watch is equipped with a time zone adjustment function. ■ TIME ZONE ADJUSTMENT English The watch can automatically display local time in a different time zone by selecting the time zone. The watch can be set to local time in a different time zone by selecting a time zone. It can receive official standard frequencies of Germany, the United States and Japan to adjust the time. ■ AUTOMATIC HAND ALIGNMENT When the hand positions display incorrect time as a result of the influence of various external ■ AUTOMATIC TIME SETTING sources, the watch automatically corrects the hand alignment itself. The watch maintains the precise time by automatically receiving radio signals on an official standard frequency. The watch can receive official standard frequencies of Germany, the United ■ SOLAR RECHARGEABLE BATTERY States, and Japan (from either of two transmitting stations) by selecting the time zone. A solar cell underneath the dial converts any form of light into "electrical energy” to power the Manual reception is also possible (the watch is unable to receive radio signals outside of the watch and the power is stored in a secondary battery. Once fully charged, the watch continues reception range of each standard frequency). to run for approximately six months. ■ DISPLAY OF RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION LEVEL During reception attempts, the watch displays the reception level of radio signals. ■ ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION The movement of the second hand indicates that the battery should be charged. ■ DISPLAY OF RADIO SIGNAL RECEPTION RESULT Reception result (succeeded or failed) can be confirmed following reception of radio signals. ■ POWER SAVE The Power Save mode can be activated when the watch is left without an adequate light source. ■ AUTOMATIC CALENDAR The calendar adjusts odd and even months including February in leap years.

TIME ZONE AND TIME DIFFERENCE 24 TIME ZONES AND TIME DIFFERENCES FROM UTC
English
Time zone means the region where the common standard time is used. There are 24 time zones around the world based on time differences from UTC (Universal Coordinated Time). In some regions daylight saving time (DST) is adopted. EUROPE (DCF77 from Germany) [What is UTC (Universal Coordinated Time)?] UTC is the universal standard time coordinated through international agreement. It is used as the official time around the world. UTC is determined by adding a leap second to GMT (Greenwich Date line Mean Time), which is determined through astronomical measurement, in order to keep the precise JAPAN(JJY) THE UNITED time. STATES (WWVB)
[What is summer time (DST)?] Summer time is daylight saving time. Advancing the watch one hour to prolong daytime during longer daylight hours in summer. Daylight saving time has been adopted in about 80 countries, mainly in Europe and North America. The adoption and duration of daylight saving time vary depending on the country.
