For the WWVB (USA) and JJY60 (Japan) time signal transmitters the fol-
lowing specific feature applies:
During reception of the signal the LC display switches off. After the time
signal has been received, the indicator automatically becomes visible
again on the LC display.
7.1 Manual start
If the restart does not lead to any time synchronisation, the time and
date can be manually set using Manual Start mode. To switch to Manual
Start mode, briefly press the SET+ button. Manual Start can also be
accessed from Radio mode. To do this, press the SET+ button for longer
than 9 seconds.
First the year is displayed [11]. Every time you press the SET+ button the
display advances by one year. Once you have entered the current year,
confirm this with a brief press of the MODE button.
The LC display now switches to showing the month setting [1]. You adjust
the month likewise via the SET+ and/or SET– button. You confirm your
entry by briefly pressing the MODE button.
Perform the following settings using the procedure described above:
– Set the date – the LC display switches to [1]
– Set the hour – the LC display switches to [00: ]
– Set the minute – the LC display switches to [ :00]
After you have set the minutes and then confirmed this by pressing the
MODE button, the programmed time gets shown on the LC display of
your Junghans Mega Futura.
If necessary, the programmed time can be corrected by pressing the SET+
button again.
Note: If you do not confirm your entry, the display switches back after
60 seconds to the previous setting. Pressing the SET+ button takes you
back to Manual Start mode.
The watch is now in quartz mode and will not perform any automatic
attempts at time signal reception.
A manual transmitter call (see section 5) can be performed at any time. A
successful transmitter call will overwrite the time set by a manual start
and the Junghans Mega Futura then performs automatic time synchro-
nisation again.
