6.5 Setting the time zone
The Junghans multi-frequency radio-controlled watch can pick up the sig-
nals from the DCF77, WWVB, JJY40 and JJY60 transmitters. Within the trans-
mitter coverage areas your watch will thus reliably display summer or win-
ter time respectively (except for WWVB, see section 3 – Automatic time syn-
chronisation). If you travel to a country in another time zone, you can have
the local time there displayed as a 2nd time on the LCD display (for how to
set this, see section 2 – 2
nd
time) and/or adjust the analogue time shown to
the current local time.
You do this by pressing the T1 button, if necessary repeatedly, until the date
is shown on the LCD display. You then press the T2 button. The hour is now
also shown digitally on the LCD display (e.g.: [T12] for 12 noon). You adjust the
time zone, and thus also the hands, to the time in the zone in question by
pressing the T2 button again. You can use the digital hour display to help
you set the correct time. Repeatedly pressing the T2 button enables you to
set the hour in fast forward mode. You can set all time zones using the T2
button. As you do so, the date, if necessary, is also automatically adjusted.
If you want to set the 1
st
time, and thus the analogue time display, back
again to the original time, then please do so by following the same procedu-
re.
The time zones displayed when picking up the signal from the respective
transmitters are as follows:
Transmitter Time zone displayed
DCF77 (Europe) CET or CEST
WWVB (North America) Pacific Standard Time
JJY40 Japanese local time
JJY60 Japanese local time
If you wish, you can interrupt the manual synchronisation process as soon as
the second hand is in the 12 o’clock position.
To do so, briefly press the T1 button. The second hand then returns to the
original time.
Please note that manual synchronisation is not possible if battery power is
too low and the [Lo] symbol is showing on the LCD display.
