Your Radio Controlled watch incorporates a highly sensitive radio receiver that receives time signals at 3AM
from the Germany (DCF), UK (MSF), USA (WWVB) and Japan (JJY 60Khz) time signal transmitter located at
these countries. Your watch will pick up the above appropriate signal according to your Time Zone Setting.
Your watch recalls the Atomic Clock (which measures each second of time as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a
cesium 133 atom in a vacuum) and gives time, which is accurate to 1 second every million years. Your Radio
Controlled Ana-Digit Watch even accounts automatically for daylight saving time (when applicable).

.Correct Watch Position for Signal Reception
Your watch should be positioned according to the following picture and put nearby a window during signal
reception or you would not be able to get the best reception result.
1. Metal Case with metal Bandway as a standard watch.
-Never let the metal band touches the case-back as it will affect signal reception.
-Never put the watch by its side as it will not able to get signal on this position.
2. Correct positions for signal reception
For metal case with metal band watch, the watch-band should be away from the watch case as show below
(insert the match box between the case back and the metal band) or it will affect the reception

.Manual Signal Reception
The watch is set to pick up the Radio signal automatically at 3:00AM every night. You can also use this feature
to manually search for the radio signal.
1. Holding S1 until the LCD display shows blinking icons of “Antenna and Country”. At the same time, the
second-hand stops at 12 o’clock position.
2. Put the watch nearby a window to get signal. Never put the watch on wrist during signal reception. For
plastic 1-piece un-foldable RC watch, the watch should put on a wooden table with face down as show above
for signal reception.
3. The watch takes 5 to 14 minutes (depends on signal strength) to pick up signal.
4. After reception, the watch will show the time again after the fast running of the second-hand has stopped.
During signal reception, the LCD display shows the signal-strength. It is good to search a location where
signal is the strongest for a good signal reception.
Signal is always good in nighttime but not in daytime. If your watch cannot get signal in daytime, just leave it
nearby a window where signal is strong overnight to get radio signal.
Reception Status Check:
You can check if the watch was able to pick up signal.
1. Press S1 once
If Reception OK LCD displays Antenna icon with full signal-strength bars
If Reception FAIL LCD displays Antenna icon only (with NO signal-strength bar)
LCD returns to previous display after 10 seconds
LCD Display selection:
You can set the watch to show either one of the following digital reading on the LCD display.
a. Hour : Minute, or
b. Day-Date or,
c. Month ’Year
To set your favorable digital reading display, push S2 (the lower right button) one after another to select.
EL backlight:
Press S3 once to turn on the EL backlight for around 3 seconds

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Your watch is a very delicate and precise instrument. Although uncommon, sometimes hard knocks or vibra-
tions can cause the hands to move irregularly, and therefore display the incorrect time, although the internal
clock is keeping accurate time. You may notice this when checking for a successful reception (by press S1 once)
and the analog “Second-hand” position does not synchronize with the “Second” reading on the LCD (for
instant, the LCD reading is 29 second but the analog second-hands is pointing at 27 second). The 6 o’clock
reference point has changed and the watch needs to be re-calibrated.
Re-calibrate the shifted second-hand:
1. Make sure the watch is running normally.
Holding S3 (the upper left button) around 10 seconds until the second-hand stops at a new position.
2. The second hand may stop at the position mentioned below in A, B or C then release the button and follow
the steps below:
A. If the second-hand stops between 12 to 6 o’clock (after second-hand stops)
1. Press S1 (the upper right button) one at a time until the second-hand points exactly at 6 o’clock
2. Press S4 (the lower left button) to confirm.
The watch will stop for a while. Just wait until the watch resume running.
B. If the second-hand stops between 6 to 12 o’clock (after second-hand stops )
a. Press S4 and then wait for the watch to resume running.
b. After the watch runs normal. Repeat steps 1, 2 and A.
C. If the second-hand stops exactly at 6 o’clock this indicates that the second-hand was exactly 5 seconds left
shifted before alignment. No alignment is required. Just leave the watch alone until it resume running
.Watch can’t Receive Time Signal
Reason for not being able to receive the Time Signal include:
-Watches being not place nearby a window
-Watch being not putting on a table with face-up or facedown manner
-Watch being place by its side
-Being outside of the UK, Germany, USA and Japan(60Khz) signal area
-Being in a build up area
-Metal objects blocking the radio signal
-Interfere by computer monitor or TV

Ensure the watch is left by a window, as this gives the best reception, you may have to try different windows in
the house to see which is best. You can test this using reception status test described earlier. Please note that
reception is always better at night.
If your watch is unable to make contact with the radio signal, it will continue to function in the same way as a
standard watch. The time will then be corrected the next time your watch receives the time signal.
Second Hand running non-stop
When battery is low, the Second Hand may run non-stop. Change the battery of the watch after it comes
to a stop.
Time is wrong
If your Time Zone setting is incorrect, your watch will show you the wrong time. You need to manually
set it to the right Time Zone. Go to “Time Zone Setting” for details.
Battery Change
You need to change a new battery if the watch stops, the LCD display becomes dim or the watch does
not function properly.
Battery type
This watch uses a CR2025 type battery, trained jewellers or watch specialists should fit new batteries to
avoid and damage to the watch.
1. Open the watch at the back. Carefully remove the bottom, make sure you are not losing the waterproof seal.
2. Pick up the battery spring.
3. Take out the battery and insert a new one (watch the polarity!”+”up).
4. Now push the battery spring down.
5. Before you put the case-back on again, make sure the waterproof seal is correctly in place.
After Battery replacement, you need to:
1. Align all 3 hands at 12 o’clock
2. Set your Time Zone (through City Name)
3. Put the watch to a location (window) where reception is possible for 24 to 48 hours to allow the watch to
receive radio signal to set the correct time.

The watch does not run and the LCD display is blank after a new battery is replaced until the following initia-
tion has been done.

ing.
1. Press and holding S1 (the right top button), you’ll see the second-hand starts fast running.
2. You can stop the high speed running second-hand by a press of S1
3. To restart the fast running second-hand, press and hold S1 again
4. When the fast running second-hand is driving hour and minute hands closing to the 11:59:00, stop the
second-hand with one press of S1. Continuously pressing S1 one press a time until all hands align at 12:00:00
(if you accidentally go past the 12, start the above proceedure again.)
5. When all hands are aligned at the 12 0’clock position (12:00:00), PUSH S4 (the left lower button) hardly
for 1 second to confirm.
6. After confirmation, the LCD display is switched ON and shows a blinking City Name
2. Now Set your Time Zone (through City Name)
1. After the LCD shows a city name, press S1 (the upper right button) or S2 (the lower right button) to set your
Time Zone through City Name (please refer to “Table of Time Zone against City Name”)
2. Press S4 once to confirm
3. After confirmation, the watch will initiate a signal reception automatically. Put the watch nearby a window to
get signal.
4. The watch will run to the right time if the reception is successful or starts to run at around 12 o’clock if the
reception is failed.
3. Put the watch to a location (window) where reception is possible for 24 to 48 hours to
allow the watch to receive radio signal to set the correct time.
Signal is always good in nighttime but not in daytime.
So, if the initial daytime reception is failed, put the watch to a location (window) where reception is possible for
24 to 48 hours to allow the watch to receive radio signal to set the correct time. The watch will automatically
initiate a reception at 3AM after receiving a valid time signal, the hands move on to the correct time.
