Readiness For Use; Automatic Time Synchronisation - Junghans W 615.97 Manual De Instrucciones

2. Readiness for use

So that your watch is always ready for use, you should make sure that it does
not run low on power. The watch regularly checks to see if it has sufficient bat-
tery power. If it no longer has enough (e.g. the battery has run out or ambient
temperature is too low, which impairs battery performance), the second hand
stops at the 12 o'clock position. A battery symbol and the current second also
appear on the LCD display. If the battery does not recover (e.g. through an
increase in the ambient temperature), you should take the watch as soon as
possible to your authorised specialist to have the battery changed, or send it to
have this done to the Junghans Service Centre.
Battery type: CR 1632
Typical life: Approx. 2 years
Please ensure that the battery is disposed of properly in accordance with
statutory regulations.

3. Automatic time synchronisation

Daily, fully automatic time synchronisation takes place overnight. While the
signal is being received the second hand temporarily stops in the 9 o'clock
position. During this time, the LCD display is turned off (nothing is shown).
For the USA's WWVB time signal transmitter the following specific feature
applies:
After a successful transmitter call or battery change (restart), your Junghans
multi-frequency radio-controlled watch always reads in Pacific Standard
Time.
Due to the non-uniform changeover from summer to winter time and the
differing time zones in the individual US states, you are given the opportu-
nity to adjust winter time, summer time and time zone settings (see 5.7)
manually.
If, due to where you are, the time zone or summer / winter time that you
have set differs from PST, it is nevertheless retained during any subsequent
transmitter call or automatic synchronisation.
After the time has successfully been automatically synchronised, the original
mode is again shown in the display. The date is always advanced automatical-
ly by the time signal. This process also takes the 29th of February into account
in leap years.
If all of the attempts at picking up a signal lead to no clear synchronisation, the
reception indicator goes up by 1 (see also the description of 'Reception indica-
tor' mode in section 5.5). Any further days without synchronisation are added
to this. During any such days without synchronisation, your watch continues
