If a signal is received from a different transmitter station to the one
last used for synchronisation then the time zone that is currently selec-
ted is retained and the minutes and seconds are synchronised.
The current local time is set using the time zone adjustment function
(see chapter 8.1 – ”time zone adjustment”).
The following time zones are received from the transmitter stations:
Transmitter station Time zone
DCF77 (Europe) CET or CEST
WWVB (North America) Pacific Time
JJY40 (Japan) Local time Japan
JJY40 (Japan) Local time Japan

The Junghans Mega 1000 can receive time signals from the DCF77,
WWVB, JJY40 and JJY60 transmitter stations. This means that the
watch will reliably show daylight saving or winter time (Europe and
North America) within the transmission zones. If you are travelling to a
country in a different time zone, you can either set the watch to
display the local time of that country as the 2nd time in the upper part
of the display (see chapter 10 – ”2nd time”) and/or set the main time
display to show the local time.
When the reception phase is started a countdown measured in se-
conds appears at the top of the display. This countdown is controlled
by the signal transmission and starts as soon as a signal is received.
The transmitter indicator in the display starts flashing. When making
a transmitter call keep the watch still or put it down somewhere safe.
Once the watch has finished receiving the time signal (after approx.
3-10 minutes) the display automatically adjusts to the time received
from the transmitter station and the display changes back to the pre-
vious mode.
It is also possible to stop the manual synchronisation process before it
has finished. This is done by pressing T1. The display then returns to
the mode it was in previously.
Your Junghans Mega 1000 first attempts to receive a signal from the
transmitter station it last used to carry out a synchronisation. If the
watch cannot receive a signal from this transmitter station then it
attempts to receive a signal from the other transmitter stations. The
transmitter station that the watch is currently trying to reach is shown
in the display. If a manual synchronisation is carried out successfully,
the reception indicator resets itself to 0. However, if the transmission
call is unsuccessful the reception indicator does not change and the
display returns to the time and mode that were active before the
transmission call was carried out.
If you have selected a different time zone to the one received from the
transmitter station then the manually selected time is verified. In this
case only minutes and seconds are synchronised.
