If the watch does not successfully receive a sig-
nal for a long period of time then the reception
process is stopped to save battery power. How-
ever, the watch still makes an attempt to recei-
ve a time signal every 6 hours. The transmitter
indicator then reads ”---” and the reception
indicator shows ”1”. The watch continues to
show the unsynchronised time in the display.
In order to show the correct current time until a signal is received, the
watch must be manually set to the current time (manual start). Your
watch then operates like a normal quartz watch.
If you switch to set mode (see chapter 12 – ”Manual start”) while
automatic signal reception is taking place then the automatic recep-
tion process is stopped.
12. Manual start
The watch can be manually started after an
unsuccessful restart. To do this, press the T4
button to cancel the automatic reception pro-
cess. Then press the T4 button again for more
than 3 seconds to enter manual start mode.
> 3 sec.
11. Restart / start
The watch is automatically restarted each time
the battery is changed. Once the battery has
been inserted the display reads 00:00 00 and
the transmitter station that the watch is trying
to connect to along with the seconds count-
down is shown in the upper part of the display.
The watch then starts to receive the time sig-
nal. The watch automatically adjusts itself to
the correct transmitter time zone a few minu-
tes after receiving the signal successfully.
